Sewing and Quilting Newsletter
October 14th, 2016
Whew...OK, hopefully we are done with hurricanes for this year.  Time to get back to sewing.  Fortunately, with a little prep work (and a lot of plastic), Sew Central came through the storm without a problem - not a single item wet or damaged. 

As a result, we are having a "Back To Sewing" sale this weekend.  20% off all regularly priced fabric, notions, kits...and more.  We also have restocked our bargain room.  Saturday and Sunday only. 
 
And yes - we are open now on Sunday, Noon - 4pm.  Even changed the front door sign, so we are going to keep those hours for awhile.  Be sure to stop by. 

Designs in Machinery Embroidery Event (DIME) will bring a National Instructor from DIME to teach five of their most popular embroidery hooping techniques on Dec 2nd and 3rd.  This 4hrs event is only $29, includes lunch, and you walk away with over $200 in embroidery gifts.  Sign up early and receive the Block Party Alphabet designs!  Check out our Event Site at DIME EVENT
