No Longer My Favorite Day of the Year

When I was a little kid I always looked forward to the first day of school. For many years after that it was my favorite day of the year because my kids went back to school and I had more free time. Now it's a little bittersweet since they're older and not around as much. It's still such a frenzy getting them ready for school that I can't wait for it to be over and have things settle down again. I'm always ready to have things back in a normal routine (whatever that is!!).

Now I'm really looking forward to spending more time at my sewing machine. It seems that many of you are also planning to spend more time sewing this fall. Since we announced our sale it's been very busy with quilters stocking up for fall and winter sewing projects. We have a LOT of fabric left so be sure to stop in and take advantage of the 40% discount while the selection is still good. There is a minimum 1/2 yard cut on all sale fabric.

We've had several people ask for kits that I've written about in previous posts. I don't think any of these are still available. Typically, they only last a few days after they show up on the blog.

Many people have asked why we're closing the shop. Quite simply, our lease is up and I don't want to work this much anymore. We've heard all kinds of rumors as to our "real" reasons for closing, but they're only that--rumors. Running a small business takes a tremendous amount of time and energy. Sure, this job is a lot of fun and I still love sharing my passion for quilting with others, but it's still work. I don't have nearly as much time to sew as I'd like and I really look forward to having time to read, travel and clean my house!!

Our clearance sale continues this week with 40% off all fabric (1/2 yard minimum), books, patterns, notions, magazines, and kits. Any remaining batting is 25% off. Don't wait too long to take advantage of the savings. Stop in before everything's gone!
