 ...News and Notes
Fall is upon us and that means it's time for our Fabulous Fat Quarter Frenzy Sale at SWD! Starting tomorrow, October 10th thru Friday, October 18th all pre-cut, loose Fat Quarters throughout the shop are $2.00 each!
And because it's October, and crisp weather is bound to be on the way...All Flannel fabrics in the shop are 20% with a half yard minimum cut. (Great time to buy those warm and cozy fabrics to back your quilts...Or use them for a soft, cuddly top too!)
So stop in this week and get inspired to start a new project, or just add to your stash at some great prices!
And This Saturday, October 12th We're Having a Free Demo Day!
Here is what we have in store for the day, stop in for one, or keep coming back for all of the demos throughout the day to learn some new techniques:
11:00 - 11:30 a.m. ~
Disappearing 9-Patch and Double Disappearing 9-Patch: "Disappearing Blocks" look difficult, but are actually SO easy to make! They are great for any skill level.
1:00 - 1:30 p.m. ~
Creative Grids 60 degree Equilateral Triangle Ruler: Table runners and table toppers make great hostess gifts and are super fast and easy to make. With the holidays coming up, think of how quickly you can put together that last minute gift! (They are so easy to make that you might even have time to make one for yourself.)
2:30 - 3:00 p.m. ~
BlocLoc Rulers: Ask most of our staff and they'll tell you that one or more of their favorite rulers are BlocLocs! These amazing tools make piecing a breeze. Your half square triangles will be perfect (every single time) when you square them up with a BlocLoc Half Square Triangle Ruler, and your flying geese will never lose their points when you use the BlocLoc Flying Geese Trimmers.
