 ...News and Notes
Just popping into your inbox to say Happy 4th of July! ...And to let everyone know that Spring Water Designs will be closed on Friday, July 3rd & Saturday, July 4th. We will re-open regular shop hours on Sunday, July 5th noon - 4:00 p.m.
Quilter's Trek (previously Row by Row) continues, and the theme this year is "True Blue". We've had a great response and continue to cut and put together kits for our block this year called True Blue Maryland :) It can be set as an 18 inch square, or a 9" x 36" row, or four different 9" blocks within your quilt! You have plenty of time to collect blocks, the Trek runs thru September 8th, and if you want to make a quilt to submit for a shop prize, you can show a finished quilt from July 15th - October 18th...and there are two winners per store!
You can come in our shop to pick up a free pattern, or purchase a kit, or if you're not ready to trek to quilt shops quite yet...you can purchase a kit online from our website Here! Kits will also include a fun collectable 2" fabric token that can be sewn into projects too :) You can find all the details about this year's Quilter's Trek, and a shop Locator of participating shops at the Quilters Trek Website

Want to make a One Block Wonder Quilt, but don't know where to start? In this Introductory Discussion Class on July 22nd, Karen Todd will talk about fabric selection and general assembly tips based on her own experiences. Note: This is not a sewing or construction class, but a general overview session. For more in-depth instruction, please consider Karen's One Block Wonder Quilt Class happening later in August, details found here.
Check out our Classes page to reserve your spot in any of our upcoming class offerings. Many have had date changes, so if you think you missed something from this Spring, you can still jump in on things for later on :) Any classes or clubs that we are running currently will include social distancing modifications, and all participants are required to wear a mask.
If you are registered for any classes or clubs, we will be contacting participants with information on particulars for your class. Contact us with any questions.
We want to remind you that we continue to have many options in place for you to help meet your quilting needs at this time as Maryland phases into further stages of opening. Our brick & mortar store is open to customers and has returned to our regular store hours 7 days a week (Monday - Saturday 10:00 - 5:00 & Sunday noon - 4:00). No appointment is needed, but we are limiting the numbers of customers coming into the shop at one time. To adhere to community guidelines, we have installed barriers in place to help with Social Distancing, we require that everyone wear a face mask to come into the store (Our staff wears a mask for you, and we require that our visitors wear a mask to protect our staff), and we have sanitizing and washing schedules in place.
For those who are not comfortable coming into the store, we are still serving our customers' needs through web and phone sales! You can choose to have your orders shipped right to you, or we continue to offer our no-contact outdoor bin pick up too! Pick up is available now 10:00 - 5:00 p.m. Mon. thru Sat. and on Sunday noon - 4:00 :)
We encourage everyone to stay safe and keep to what you are comfortable with ~ give us a call any time and we can help you meet your quilting needs in whatever way is best for you and your individual situation ~ We want to err on the side of caution as things get back to normal and keep everyone healthy and happily quilting :)
Stay Safe and Have a Happy 4th of July Weekend!
~ Dawn and the SWD Staff
