Quilt'n Etc

I will have a booth at the Keokuk Senior High School Craft Show this Saturday, 10/27. 9-3. Will have many of my finished quilts available for purchase at reasonable prices.

So, my fabric is all gone, but I have several different kits, and lots of patterns & books still for sale. I also will be putting out all my samples, whether they are tops only or finished, with reasonable prices. Great gift ideas for the upcoming holidays!
My hours will be 8:30-11:30 Monday-Friday. Other times by appointment (leave a message on the store phone). I've enjoyed seeing my "friends" stopping by to say "hello".

HOW DO YOU REALLY RETIRE?

After lots of consideration this past several months, I figured out that you have to do what you miss most: Spending time with family, creating (quilts), and Gallivanting with the Girls!

I decided I can’t really do all this and manage an “on-line store” as I first thought! So, I have decided to sell 95% of what I set back (which is quite a lot!)

I HAVE A NEW LOCATION at the same mall in Keokuk. It is on the back side of the mall, directly behind Dollar General (the corner of 2nd & Exchange Streets).

Use the Rear Mall Entrance, the 1st set of steps on the corner of 2nd & Exchange St. There is parking available in this area, as well as along the street.

Starting Monday, 7/16, I will be open from 9-5, Monday-Friday & 9-3 on Saturday, 7/21. These hours will continue through 7/31 (except closed 7/24 & 7/25). Most of the fabric was not available during my original “closing” sale (I had “saved” it back).

THE STORE WILL BE CLOSED TUES, 7/24 & WED, 7/25.

THERE IS NO ACCESS THROUGH DOLLAR GENERAL!

Pricing is as follows:
- FQ $0.50 ea
- Half Yard Pre-Cuts $1.25
- 1 Yard Pre-Cuts $2.50
- All Patterns $1.00 ea.
- All Books $2.50 ea.
- All Bolt Fabric (42-44”) - $2.50/yd
- Everything Else - 75% Off Reg. Price

Because of family health issues, I will be closing my store for good, hopefully by the end of July. I will be posting final sale info next week. I have enjoyed this opportunity to work with you, my customers, and hope to become a customer myself in the near future.

The PURE TRUTH!

This little quilt is perfect for the sewing room. Instructions are included for printing the motto on fabric with an inkjet printer (useful method for other projects, too). Get the free tutorial here: http://quiltingdigest.com/a-fun-quilt-for-your-sewing-room-wall/

Great tips!

Try These Before Heading to the Repair Shop! Sooner or later everyone who sews, whether a little or a lot, is sure to run into problems with their sewing machine. Often the solution is to change the needle, re-thread the machine or tweak the tension. But how do you know what to do in any …

Definitely dislike shortening gems. I use iron-on tape whenever I can.

Thank goodness!

Great safety idea!

Good idea!

Something we have all dealt with at some time.

Solutions That Don’t Require Ironing! Have you ever unrolled a package of batting only to discover that there are stubborn creases in it? Faint wrinkles are generally fine, but stubborn, deep creases may get sewn into the quilting and can also show through the top. Not good. You want the batting a...
