FREE Sewing Scissor Sharpening
|
Free sewing scissor sharpening is today, Saturday, February 23rd!
Jeremi's "Twice as Sharp" system will make your favorite sewing scissors better than new.
(Not to put too fine a point (edge?) on it, but Jeremi's daughter is selling Girl Scout cookies. The order form is here at the store. 8-year-old Isabel has set a goal of 1,000. She wasn't specific if that was cookies or boxes, or for the troop as a whole or just herself.
If you don't like cookies, just maybe you know somebody who does?

No, this isn't Cheryl's machine. This dragon themed Singer Featherweight is custom-painted for Janie, based on her own original design ideas as executed by our master painter. Drop by Saturday to see it pre-assembled.
Jeremi will be sharpening scissors, but can answer questions about the Featherweight you want done for yourself!

Now it can be told . . .
Your quilt store, the scrappy little fabric shop in Albuquerque is going to be featured as a
Top Shop in the national Quilt Sampler magazine from Better Homes & Gardens, with a circulation of a quarter million.
Now, you're probably going to be all "I've been shopping there since they were just a little itty, bitty fabric store." And, it's true because it's true. Don't start hating on us because of it. We're still the store where it seems like everyone's having more fun . . . because we are.
We're offering this super special legacy collector's edition of the magazine at just a dollar over our cost. Heck, we'll sign it with all our great super-celebrity autographs for . . . well, alright, for free.
Your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will cherish this as much as one of your quilts.
OK, they definitely won't. But it IS sort of cool that your shop is in a national magazine, no?
The publisher is putting pressure on us to buy 6,000 copies which seems kind of lot.
If you're even sort of interested, please click below so we might have a better estimate on how many to order.
Thanks.

Telio Knits landed Friday, too late for pictures of all . . . so, yes, the bicycle print is upside down. Sew it how you will, but really, turn it upside right.
They arrived today -- you MUST check the hand on these knits.
The Telio company is based in Canada, now in it's third generation as a family-owned provider of avant-garde garment sewing fabrics. We've brought in prints so fresh that the photos haven't been published for us to offer them here. Select from 10 bolts in spiffy colors for spring. You simply must come to the store to see.
