Brick and Mortar News - February 2010 |
February 1, 2010 |
Dear Customer,
Welcome to the February Newsletter! Jeez, time flies, especially
when one is on vacation! As many of you know, I went back to India
and had a great time. I bought as many silk wool scarves as I could
carry with me and they are almost sold out within a week! I
contacted the supplier in India again and I'm trying to bring in
more of them. They are super, super soft, gorgeous in colors and of
course extremely cheap if we can do it this way.
As per request from customers, we started a "Dog House" area in the
shop! All fabrics in the Dog House are $5.00 per yard ($4.50 if you
finish the bolt) and are top quality fabrics. We don't have 'old'
fabrics at Webfabrics, but we do have the last pieces of a
collection and those need to go. The Dog House fabrics are wonderful
for backings and charity projects, so check them out!
I'm trying very hard to keep the prices low, but can't avoid the
general trend of increases. However, have you seen the Batik Bundles
of the Month (8 half yards for $29.95)? Or the Fat quarter bundle of
the Day (10 fat quarters for $10.00) and of course our Boat with
Quarters ($2.00 each). We have lots of affordable gems in the shop!
So often, you ask me for help with color combinations and so often
you tell me you have such a big stash at home. Let's attack these
stacks by making beautiful scrap quilts! I will start a monthly
meeting for lap top scrap quilts and give you a free pattern. These
quilts will be fast, fun and will make perfect gifts. The first
meeting is going to be on Wednesday February 10 at 1:00 pm EST, the
second on Saturday February 13 at 11:00 am EST. I want you to bring
(or purchase) the following fabrics:
* 2 yard of a light background fabric (cream/white);
* 1 yard of royal blue and 1 yard of aqua. The fabric should be a
blender (no outspoken design).
* Scraps in yellow, lime and purple. Each piece needs to be at least
2.5" square. Don't look at the design, bring any piece you have in
these colors, the pretty ones, the ugly ones. Clean out that closet!
We will have a fun swap with all attending customers. The more
people attend, the better the quilts will be. The quilt could use
200 different pieces (and it still fairly easy)..!!
Ellen Medlock is a designer of handbags and we will have her trunk
show coming in the second half of this month. Look for the
Interchangebles! These are handles that can be used for several
bags, fun patterns!
The $25.00 gift certificate for being the Green customer of the
Month is going to Joan Taylor. I will call you this week, Joan! It's
amazing to see how much plastic we are saving this way, hardly an
effort.
The 20th is this month on a Saturday! Receive 20% discount on all
fabric if you finish the bolts (not on sticker fabrics). OK, before
someone will ask this question: Yes, you get also 20% of the Dog
House fabrics..
The end of February is the beginning of a new Show Season. Plan a
trip to
Hampton, VA! Nancy and I will be there as well, with the best of
the best!
Looking forward seeing you in the shop soo
A website for all, a quilt shop for
you.
Warmest regards,
Carly Mul
