OOPS - asked Mark to send this out again as we made a couple errors. 
Sorry for the multiple emails!


Just finished my trip to Houston and Quilt Market, hopefully you saw some of my Facebook live videos of the show floor.  As always, there was so much to choose from!  Already in the store, we have over 240 yards of new Flannel Plaids, Stripes and Prints - ready for those cooler weather projects or the kids.  Here is a sample of the Flannels from Choice Fabrics that arrived:


 Also just in, some really fun Knits I found from the Amy Butler and Anna Maria Horner lines:


Also just in for quilting is a new Debbie Maddy collection from Moda, Morning Mist II whites and solids  from Blank Fabrics, and some really cute panels from Northcott.  Too much to all show here, and more coming in daily, so stop on by.  
For all of you Embroidery Fans - don't forget to sign up for the DIME event on either December 2nd or 3rd.  For only $29, you will receive their great embroidery tips in a four hour session, and leave with $200 in free give-aways.
 
Also - check out the Viking specials in the advertisements below.  Always some great savings this time of year.  Right now, 30% of MSRP for all machines, software, and Viking accessories. 
 
I have been out of town for the last few weeks, helping my Son and Daughter-in-law in Kansas as they prepare for their 3rd child.  It has been a great vacation visiting my 12 yrs and 3 yrs old granddaughters Kyle and Kit.  But no baby yet - so thanks so much to Jane and crew for keeping the store running!

Remember - we are now open SUNDAY, Noon - 4pm for your full weekend shopping.

See you at Sew Central!  Ellen
