March 2022 Newsletter

March 2022

They say “In like a Lion and out like a Lamb”, but it sure hasn’t seemed that way to us.  How about you?

We know that all you gardeners are just itching to get out there working in the soil, but you still have some time to work on another quilt or 2 or even try one of our classes.  Remember the quilt shows are not that far off and everyone wants to get a jump on those Birthday, Anniversary and Christmas gifts to round out the year of 2022.

We have several classes coming up a well as the WSQ 2022 Shop Hop!

Mar. 16, 23, 30 & April 6, 13, 20 10 – 1; Naomi’s Sampler Class.  Do you want to build your skills or try new techniques?  This is the class for you.  This is a 6 part class with 2 new blocks per week to work on.  When completed you can have a throw or larger quilt or you can make several smaller things.  It’s all up to you!  This is a great way to use up scraps or choose fabrics that you love together for a look/feel you love. $60 Sample on display in the shop!

April 21 – 23 WSQ Shop Hop!  We have opted to extend our SHOP HOURS just for the Shop Hop to 8:30 – 5:30 for these 3 days only to help everyone get in as much fun as possible!  Start at your favorite local shop, get your Tote Bag and Passport ONLY at the first shop.  You do NOT get a new one at each shop or each day. Then check out the specials, get your gift and raffle tickets from each shop as you visit and shop.  Remember even small purchases are greatly appreciated since all shops have to pay to participate.

  We do need volunteers to help us out for the shop hop.  Could you and would you be willing to help us with some time?  We give everyone who helps a little something fir their time and help.

Space available for 5-6 quilts per month for quilting.  4 simple all over designs and 1 or 2 custom.  Quilts can be checked in between the 1-7 of each month.

We are always adding more new fabrics to our collection with a variety of prices. From our discount fabrics starting at about $5 per yard.  As we have promised from the day we opened….if we get it at a discount then so do you. 

As we keep saying, and mean more each time we do….We appreciate you, your continued support and encouragement!

We wish you lovely March, Spring and all those happy things,

Jim & Twila

Just a quick note about our reward program.  It has changed a bit.  If you pay with cash or check, as it has been in the past, all regular priced items accrue towards your 10% reward coupon.  But, now for the change if you use a card of any kind, you get a 1% discount at the time of purchase, but no reward points are acquired.
