Q
uilt Market was kind of lonely this year because I went by myself but it gave me a chance to search out new patterns and fabric companies. I’m really excited about the new fabric from Meg Hawkey of Crab Apple Hill and her new patterns are really fun. If you haven’t seen our sample of her Snow Days sampler, you have got to see this spectacular quilt. Of course we have kits for it! We also carry the full range of Cosmo variegated embroidery floss that Meg is using in all her new patterns. Our new customer appreciation program is
working so well, everyone loves not having to carry those orange cards around! June 30th will be the last day to redeem any you still have laying around. Our new class schedule has some great stuff and our Skill Builder Series is the perfect way to expand your skills. Our Christmas is July event is going to be lots of fun, I hope you can stop by! Lastly, as we all know, fabric has gone up in price but the beautiful prints and quality fabrics coming in still make my heart skip a beat. I hope they do yours as well!
