QUILTS & KREATIONS 2014 SPRING 2014 Dear Friends, Spring has finally arrived, but the temperatures are still low and snow is in the forecast. It has been one heck of a winter. We are all craving warm sunny Spring days, hopefully they are just around the corner. Spring is the time for new beginnings, the trees and the flowers will start to bloom soon. It is also the perfect time to start a new project to perk up your home. Our shelves are well stocked with all the latest fabrics to complete all of the projects you will be making. Please take a moment to read over our class schedule, hopefully you will find a class that will interest you. Our annual Spring Fever Sale will be held Thursday April 3 through Saturday April 5. All merchandise will be 20% off. Some exclusions apply. If you are looking for some real bargains, then you will want to check out our Classroom Clearance Frenzy. We have pulled several bolts from our shelves which will be marked to 50% off. Minimum cuts will be 1 yard on the 50% off fabric. Remnants will 50% off. Selected panels will be 40% off. We will also have several “skinny bolts” with 3 yards of fabric or less for 30% off, but you must finish the bolt for this price. This is our largest clearance sale of the year. We have to make room for new merchandise. It is the time of year again when we replace our floor model and classroom sewing machines. We have some great prices on these machines, and they all come with full warranties. We only have one machine per style, so do not hesitate, they will sell quickly. If you are not interested in a floor model, we have great prices on all of the machines. You’ll want to stop in and test drive the new 880. It is setting new standards in product design and sophisticated technologies. You will be able to sew longer and faster with fewer interruptions as the bobbin holds 80% more thread than the standard bobbin. It has a color touch screen and you have 12 full inches to the right of the needle to give you maximum sewing space, it also has the BERINA dual feed system that is wonderful when sewing on fabrics that just need a little help passing under the sewing foot. They are so sleek and stylish, you’ll want to take one home with you. No matter what your budget is, we will have a BERNINA to fit it. BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!

At the 1st class you attend, you buy a kit for $25.00. It has the pattern and the fabric for the block in whichever color way you choose. We will be offering 4 different color ways to choose from. Go home and make the block. Bring it to the following month’s class and you get your next kit free! For example April will be the 1st month. You bring April’s finished block to the class in May and get May’s kit free. Bring May’s finished block in June and get June’s block kit free. If you want to make blocks in all 4 colors, you may, but only 1 kit a month will be free, you must pay for the others. To get your free kit you must come on the second Saturday (or Friday) of the month and stay through a session. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS.
