Bits and Pieces

November 30, 2021

Thanksgiving was a big hit this year, from all accounts. And we’re grateful! I have shared the same experiences with many of you, and all of our stories were very similar: meals were all great, timing was more perfect, people were happy. I make the same recipe every year, but this year, everything tasted better. I was so organized that I even had time to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee while preparing. And many of our Black Friday friends had the exact same responses, and so we’re all anticipating the Christmas holidays with joy and big smiles! What could be better? We thank all of you that were able to participate with us in the three days of spectacular sales events with fabrics, machines, lighting, chairs and more, and that you’re getting exactly what you want from Santa this year….maybe we were all just wonderfully good this year. Except Murfee, of course, who deserves a lump of coal in his Christmas stocking again this year for all of his tirades. And it’s interesting to hear that so many of you have one just like Murfee, and we as the moms will relent at the last minute and replace the coal with cookies and toys. Either they’re playing us just right or we’re just too soft hearted for our own good!

This is now December (Wed.) and Deb is anxious to begin her 4 day boot camp of Fiber Arts. The class filled quickly, and we have scheduled another one for March, so sign up and pay quickly to reserve your spot in the limited enrollment class. I know I’ll be popping in on the boot camp a lot to learn some of the fabulous techniques Deb has in store for you all.  

Monday, Karen is back with another quick/easy Make and Take, the bowl holders. I use mine at least a few times a week, and it makes a good, practical, handy-dandy little last minute gift for someone. Cost is only $10, and you’ll be making them in class so don’t forget your machines!

Paper Piecing Palooza takes place Tuesday with Andi, and this is your chance to make yet another gift, or to finish one up! Remember to ALWAYS ask for your supply list when you pay for a class. If you sign up online (www.sunvalleyquilts.com) we can supply you with the list, but you’ll probably have to call and ask for it or stop by and pick it up. Sometimes, they’re very basic and brief, and we can read it to you over the phone. If you sign online, the crew at the front desk has no way to know that, so we ask that you give us a call please. 

If you purchased a new serger from us, your Mastery class with Jeri is scheduled for Wed. from 9-4. Don’t miss it! Further Mastery reminders—Thursday morning is Embroidery Mastery, and Software Version 9 follows in the afternoon. We want you knowing all about these classes from us if you bought your machines/software here---we want you feeling comfortable and confident with your purchases, and we encourage questions from you. This is a live class with a live instructor who just happens to be the best in the valley, so don’t miss out. It’s one of your free bonuses for buying at SVQ.

Our panels of the week are pictured above, and at just $6. Coordinating fabrics will be nearby to make your shopping with us easier. And faster, if need be. Know that even though Black Friday, Shop Small Sat., and Cyber-Monday are behind us, we are still offering some huge savings on big ticket items like BERNINA, Q’nique, sewing chairs, sewing furniture and more. Sue from our crew has been out surgery-recouperating, and recently purchased a new correct height and size sewing table from us, and was so tickled to be able to much more comfortably sew, and so glad that she made the decision to get the table! We say what we mean and we mean what we say!!!

So I really do mean it when I say that I want you to have a fan-tabulous week, productive and stress free, to come see us if/when you can, to enjoy yourself as you start to decorate for the holidays and finish up your gift-list. If you get stymied, come see us cuz we’re always full of a lot of chatter and ideas and brainstorming to get you past any issues. We hope to see you soon, and we’re also very grateful to hear that many shoppers are turning to their local shops this year, instead of the Amazons of the world. Thank you! We have many, many special things and mini-sales that we can put together for you so that all of us can have a happy and merry holiday season. Oh, and don’t forget to check your email on Thursday night for our Super Sales Stuff being offered at special prices on Friday and Saturday. Ho ho ho.
