To Market, To Market! Quilt Market ... that is!

Linda and I will soon be headed to 2014 Spring Quilt Market in Pittsburgh, PA!.  We are always excited to see the new lines of fabrics, patterns, trends and 'stuff' that are introduced to quilt store owners.  The displays are beautiful, the samples of the new patterns are made up in every flavor imaginable and the choices are many!  This makes it very difficult to determine which ones are "just right" for you - our customers!  We try to get rested up and be in our best frame of mind but oh my ... it is still difficult.  We will do our very best to bring back great patterns, fabrics, and ideas to keep you inspired and excited to turn fabric into beautiful projects.

I (Donelle) will be teaching a Business Class to other store owners, managers and quilt teachers about what else --- Teaching Classes!  Here's where you come in.  I have a section of my class totally devoted to sewing hints and tips.  Many of you have been taking classes from us for 30 years and have learned many little tricks from us, as well as other sources.  SEW (pun intended) if you would please share 1 or more of those with me, I would love to have a list of 100 or more hints & tips that I can pass on to my class attendees.  Send them to my email address here and don't forget to add your name and town.  I will be sharing these with all of you in future blog posts so that everyone benefits!  Thanks for taking a few minutes today to share those with me.  I will need them by Saturday, May 10th so that I can put them in the handout.  Thanks, girls!

I will be back here again soon with more fun information!  Don't forget to stay tuned to your email and be sure to LIKE us on FACEBOOK.  We will be posting information there while we are at Quilt Market.

Oh, I almost forgot!  We have a HUGE Indoor SIDEWALK Sale beginning on Thursday, May 8th!  We have tons of things a greatly reduced prices.  Some up to 75% OFF.  Many are items are in very limited supply and we are trying to make room for the new merchandise that will be arriving shortly after we return from Market!  See our FACEBOOK Post for May 6th for a list of some of the items.  I am in a SPRING CLEANING MODE and will be adding items all week-end long!

See you at the SIDEWALK SALE!  Whew...we need to clear out many nooks and crannies before we leave next Wednesday!  Pittsburgh here we come!
