Switching from red to green!
Hello Reader,
Switching from red to green!
Welcome to the day after Valentine’s. I hope you had a wonderful day filled with love.
I also hope you are enjoying the first clue from The Community Garden Mystery Quilt we gave you in the last newsletter. You have until the end of this month to complete it before the next clue is released at the beginning of March.
Remember, if you haven’t started yet, we have a great deal for you. There is currently a stock reduction sale happening for 30% off everything (except handmade items) in the store! It’s a great time to get your fabric for the mystery quilt, or just to stock up! Come in now for the best selection.
“What did the quilter blame for having too many children? Reproduction fabric.. ”

Herbert is back!
With Valentine’s behind us, we are now looking forward to St. Patrick’s Day and the return of Herbert, our resident Leprechaun, to point the way to new deals and contests. Herbert has a special deal for you. He loves to hide on us, so this year we have persuaded him to at least choose special groupings of fabric to hide among. Anyone who finds him, can purchase the fabric he is showcasing for 40% off the ticketed price!
He is also a pretty active guy, so check the store frequently for his new hiding place!
A St. Patrick's themed gift!
To get everyone in the St. Patrick’s Day spirit, we have a special gift for you. Trend Tex (one of our suppliers) released this tutorial of a St. Patrick’s Day themed mug rug, and we are sharing it with you. It looks like a great project. Please share any creations you make with it for everyone to enjoy!

Hello Reader, Welcome to August I can’t believe it. It’s August already. July is in the past and what a tumultuous month it was. For us it began with a hail storm on July 1 st which wiped out many of our fields and damaged almost everything else including our house, our buildings and our trees.
