Top Quality Fabrics for under Ten dollars a yard?
Yup. Prints. Batiks. Solids. Virtually all fabrics are under $10 or just a smidge over.
Part of our closure during the Covid-19 pandemic was a bit of a dress rehearsal. The closure forced us to work out our work flows and crunch the numbers. It's long been our intent to expand our online store.
But...
Because you can't touch fabric online...
...and because your screen might show colors a smidge off...
...and because we need to compete with other online vendors...
we slashed fabric prices 20 percent online.
If you've shopped online and picked up at curbside or the window, you've probably noticed that most of our prints are $9-$10 a yard and solids are about $6.
Here's the best part:
If we can keep to our current sales volumes,
we can hold this pricing for you, indefinitely
-- even after the store is fully open.
It'll be as if you have
a fabric factory outlet
right here in Albuquerque.
To make this work, we need
you to help us expand our market.
We need you to tell all your friends who quilt and sew all over the country (and right here in town, too) that this is the real deal. If they steer their dollars to us (and you do, too) we can keep this as everyday low pricing for highest quality brands and designers.
And we can do this while expanding our inventory and maintaining the friendly and helpful service that made us a Quilt Sampler Magazine "Top Shop".
But it's up to you -- we
must have that off-setting sales volume to hold these prices.
So tell your friends. Tell your guild buddies. Tell your sewing circle. Tell everyone you know, locally and elsewhere. Everyday low pricing on highest quality fabrics from top manufacturers and designers.
Do it today.

We've never really been more happy to be wrong. It does appear that the spread of the Covid-19 virus is slow to steady, at least for now. As such, we'll be opening in phases and bringing you new and "safe" shopping experiences.
Phase One:
Starting Wednesday, June 10th we will be opening the store for concierge shopping. This will be a one person at a time shopping (if you're with someone else from your own household, that's OK). We will offer half hour blocks.
Pricing for this form of shopping will be at full retail, as are phone orders and walk up orders (that's the part about "working out our work flows" above).
Hours of appointment shopping:
Tuesday, Wednesday & Saturday
9:30-4
Sign up
HERE
for your appointment
Phase Two:
On
Saturday, June 13 we will start our
Saturday Summer Fabric Market, moving as much of the store as practical to the parking lot from 9:30 to noon. As this is a first for us in these unprecidented times, please understand and be aware:
- We will be monitoring numbers and social distancing - you may have a short wait to be able to come 'in' to the market
- We require that you wear a face mask, even though this is outside
- We ask that you respect the 6 feet social distancing recommendations
- If you have a large cutting order, you may be asked to come back at a later time to pick it up.
- Yup, we'll be holding to those "20 percent off" prices you saw at the top of this newsletter
Plus, extended on-line shopping:
On
Wednesday, June 10th we will hold our first weekly Facebook Live sale, at 7:30 pm. Mark your calendar -- we will be giving away over $100 in gift certificates. Pass the word along to friends, guild members and relatives throughout the country, and right here in town, too!

You can dress a frog up...
|
But you can't take him anywhere. This isn't the froggy who went a'courtin' since there's no sword or pistol by his side. (Maybe with Jeremi for free sharpening?)
Unfortunately for Mr. Frog, he's dropped his picnic plate. Fortunately for us, we can see all the various ingredients that make up this play set -- plates, napkins, table cloth, milk, a picnic basket, bread, baloney, lettuce, tomato, strawberries, watermelon and ... surely that's a
chicken leg. We've kitted the panel with the stuffing - just start sewing!

James & the Giant Peach Panel
|
This panel makes up a very short version of Roald Dahl's classic.
The panel measures 42 inches by 24 inches. We'll leave it to you to figure out the size of the giant peach we rolled into the store for this photo.

Gone Glamping Placemat Panel Kit
|
This panel makes up four placemats. You don't have to use them in your camper or trailer, but you definitely could.
Those who know will recognize the vintage Shasta trailer, recognizable by it's wings. (They were merely decorative and did NOT enable the trailer to fly nor offer any appreciable aerodynamic advantage.)

Geometry is the new line by Janet Clare for Moda. This collection consists of 28 fabrics in cool, blue grays, blacks and ecru whites with a splash of minty chartreuse. Not surprisingly, many little geometric shapes about, with scale at about a dime or a nickel in size. Each fabric is named for a mathematician. Or thereabouts. (What the heck WAS Bucky Fuller, after all?)
What did the acorn say after waiting around a long time?
"Gee, I'm a tree!"
