First Friday

We hope you are all well and good.  We find it hard to believe that the holiday season is already upon us.

Just wanted to remind you that tomorrow (Nov. 5) is the first Friday of the month.  Becky is moving fabric to get ready for the Five fifty five sale.  Come and see if there might be something you can use.  

We will also be offering 20% off of all pre-cuts in the shop (excluding those in kits).

We will be closed Saturday, November 6th to participate in our grandson's baptism.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Have a great week!
