APRIL 2012 NOTES FROM NANCY

I have been really busy this week taking photo’s for the website of all the new fabric lines that have arrived—Alexandria (26) bolts by Jo Morton, Farmers Market by Brannock/Patek, and Collection Friendship by Howard Marcus. Recent collections are Heartstrings by Whimiscals, and Simple Charm by Jo Morton.

Recent books in the last week or two are Pretty Petals and Memories of Christmas Past along with Carol Hopkins Civil War Legacies. Two new patters by Jan Patek are also listed on the website so be sure and check out the Whats New.
Today (3/29/12) I re-stocked lots of Valdoni’s 3 strand embroidery floss balls. Numbers are on the website also.
The April Quilters Road Trip starts on Monday and the kits are ready. My specials for this Road Trip will be 20% off your purchase excluding wool, sale items, and kits. You may finish a bolt of sale fabric and get the fabric for half the sale price. These make great affordable backings. If you haven’t purchased your punch card for the Road Trip, I have a few left and they are only 5.00 for the 3 months.

I have the okay to start cutting the American Glory kits for the Quilt Sampler magazine which by the way they have re-named to Salute to Summer and I do think it has a nice ring to it! If you are picking up the kit which will include the magazine and be in my special bag, the cost is 75.00 plus tax. The cost is 89.95 if I mail them anywhere in the USA. They will be ready hopefully by the first of May. (I am suppose to get the magazines early. This is all so exciting and I want to thank you for making all this possible as it’s friends like you who support my shop and I love all of you.
My Dad has been here visiting again for the last two weeks. The wonderful weather last week was a god-send as he could sit outside and watch the traffic go by. My daughter thought I should have him holding a sign! Stop in and say Hi to him as he will be here till the Wednesday after Easter.

Keep Stitching and have a Blessed Easter.
