Here I am again, sitting at my laptop and thinking about what I can share with you. I wonder if you will find this newsletter informative, inspiring, innovative or full of imagery? I often think I have a unique opportunity at Sun Valley Quilts as I primarily work three consecutive days followed by four days off. When I walk into the shop on Friday mornings, before the store is ready for business, I get to stroll through the shop at a leisurely pace and see everything as new. As I turn on the lights, I see new fabrics in each of the areas of the shop - from batiks to southwest, from patriotic to wide backs, from florals to solids. As I power up the sewing machines, I see our signage regarding financing specials at 0% - April Accessory of the Month Sales from BERNINA, Janome, and the Grace Company. I see new panels and samples up on the walls, and new notions we think will enhance your sewing experience.
