We extended the sale on a sale. The discounts are even higher than normal (except the 70% off fabric, because, well, that's practically free already). And, take an ADDITIONAL 5% off when you finish the entire bolt (excluding 70% off fabrics). Only through Saturday, March 10, and then it's going back to regular sale prices.
We missed you... But it's time again for $5 Quilt Club. Be sure to get either the Second Saturday of each month or the Friday before on your calendar! We'll be unveiling a new $5 Quilt Club theme on this Friday, March 9 at 10a or 5:30p, and Saturday, March 10 at 10a. Come see all the cool new stuff in the store! After that, we do customer show-and-tell. At the end, you'll get your block kits. The first block kit of the year is still just $5, including fabric and pattern. Come back the following month, show your completed block, and get the next month's block kit for FREE! In addition to your free block kit, you may choose each month to purchase a second colorway and/or optional expansion kits for $5 each. Can't make it to a meeting one month to get your free kit? Don't worry. You can purchase one for $5 any time after the first meeting of the month if you can't attend a meeting. $5 Quilt Club runs through December, 2018. No need to sign up; just come on. If you must have a chair, be sure to bring a folding chair/stool just in case, as seating is limited. Bring your quilt top or completed quilt from last year's $5 Quilt Club to get a prize!

Keep working on those quilts and projects for our annual ACC Customer Quilt Show. It will be here before you know it! This is the quilt show for the rest of us. Quilts aren't judged and all proceeds go to MANNA FoodBank right here in WNC. This is our chance to get to see all the cool stuff you've been working on all year. There's no entry fee. Every one gets one free vote for their very favorite quilt and their favorite "first quilt." Beyond that, you can make donations to MANNA FoodBank in any amount toward any quilt or quilts. We traditionally have raised several thousand dollars for the cause. The quilts that earn the most money for MANNA get the biggest prizes (and yes, voting for yourself and getting your friends to vote is definitely the way to go)! Quilts, quilt tops or sewn projects will be accepted May 1-12. The show runs May 25-June 9 here at the store. We'll post entry forms at a later date. |
