In The News

Spring is here and we are ready for spring time sewing! We have several new fabric lines that are great and the baby section of the store has grown to maximum capacity. We think that is a good thinkg because of the baby and wedding season.

Don't forget about your punch cards, sometimes we get busy and forget to ask (forgive us) so make sure to remind us. Just so you remeber the punch cards are only good on purchases of fabric. No quilts, gifts or notions are included in the punch cards.  Also remember your one time a year Birthday discount: 30% off one entire purchase during the month of your birthday.

We have put together some of the best classes this time around. We are also going to try and do some afternoon classes, so these will be perfect for those who don't work and whose kids are in school.

Quiltint on the Green is coming up soon. The dates for it this year are May 4th - 7th at Expedition Island in Green River. 

Again this year there are many vendors, so come in and shop.

The Trunk show this year is by Laurie Bird. She is the owner of the Company Rose Cottage. She has published more than 30 quilt designs. Laurie says:

"I've enjoyed needlearts all my life, but needleturn applique has become my favorite form of expression. I love to work with the prints, colors, and textures in today's fabrics. It's fun to mix fabrics that aren't often seen together and then see each quilt take on its own unique look, its own  'expression'."
