Brick and Mortar News - May 2010 |
May 2, 2010 |
Dear Customer,
Sometimes, life is not what you're planning. I
had hoped and planned to move Webfabrics to a new
location, making a considerable expansion. It's not
going to happen any time soon. Zoning issues,
limited availability of buildings that would be big
enough to justify a move became such hurdles that
the only way to move would be to places far away,
places I don't want to commute to. So, all rumors can
end right here. Webfabrics is going to stay in
Purcellville at the same location. There's absolutely
nothing wrong with this. We love the building! It only
would have been nice if a healthy and fast growing
business could have had more space..maybe
something will come up later? For now, you will see
us adding more cabinets, we will optimize the
available space, move tables around, because more
fabrics are coming in regardless!
This month, Nancy and I will attend Quilt Market
in Minneapolis and I promise you, we will bring lots
and a lots of great fabrics and other goodies to
Purcellville!
I have two special requests for this newsletter
for the community:
1. The Waterford Fair is looking for
quilters and textile artists to sell their handmade
items. You can find all details at
www.waterfordfoundation.org. Don't look at the date,
just contact them as soon as possible. It's a
wonderful way to sell quilts, bags, aprons,
tablerunners, really anything pretty..to a eager group
of customers looking for quality crafts.
2. Kirsten Bachar has visited the shop
with her daughter's Girl Scouts. The girls all picked
out fabrics to make a pillowcase and had a blast. For
many of them, it was a first introduction to fabric and
sewing. Kirsten would love to get help in sewing the
pillowcases and if you have time to donate your
talents to the Girl Scouts on May 6th at Simpson
Middle School in Leesburg in the afternoon, please
contact her at BacharPerez@comcast.net.
This month's winner of the $25.00 gift certificate
for being a green customer is Bernice McGoinn.
Come back to the shop Bernice and pick any color you
want!
* Have you seen Webfabrics' Facebook page? I
started with this just a week ago and customers seem
to love it! So next time, when you come to the shop,
you may find me walking around with a camera to take
a picture and put it online. Of course, only if you don't
mind. It has created quite some energy in the shop
and it is so much fun to see all those beautiful quilts,
group visits etc online.
* The scrap quilts meetings are planned for
Wednesday May 12 at 1:00 pm and Saturday May 15 at
11:00 am. For this meeting, please bring your black
and white scraps and some very bright fabrics. As you
go through your stash, don't look at designs, only
color matters. If we have enough people attending
(sometimes we do, sometimes we don't) this free
event, maybe we can swap some? That's a lot of fun!
Also, I'm still looking for many more small
objects on fabric for Webfabrics' new charity project. If
you find in your stash small (objects should not be
bigger than 1 inch), recognizable objects, please bring
them in. I will trade with you for new fabric! Next month,
I hope to be so far that I can tell you a little bit more
about it.
* 20/20 is when Nancy and I are at Market.
WebFabrics' team, under the guidance of Kerry, is
ready for you! Take 20 percent discount if you finish
the bolt on all regular fabrics (only our sticker fabrics
are excluded). What a deal!
* As a reminder: You still have time to enter the
Franklin Park Art Challenge "Out of the Ordinary" which
will be held in July in Franklin Park, Purcellville, VA. All
you
have to do is using a fat quarter in a special way..for
details, click here.
Webfabrics is sponsoring this fun event with
free
fat quarters and the winner will receive fat quarters of
the complete collection in Hoffman 1895!
See you in the shop soon!
A website for all, a quilt shop for
you.
Warmest regards,
Carly Mul
