Hello Everyone,
It's been awhile, I apologize for missing the October newsletter. looks like we might get an Indian Summer this weekend so I hope you get out and enjoy it. This year went by so fast it is hard to believe the Holidays are coming.
There is so much to talk about this month, we have some fun things coming.
This Sunday at 4:30pm Lori and I will be hosting a Facebook Live Clearance Sale. So if you are looking for some great buys you will want to stay tuned to Facebook join the event to get updates and reminders HERE. We will have deep discounts on our clearance rack, these would be great for piecing or backs of all the great quilts you are making or have made. We will also have sales on kits with only one or two left and whatever else we made add to the mix at the last minute. Just watch the video and comment [i.e. #23 4 yards], we will send you an email with your invoice so please make sure we have that.
There is a minimum of a 1 yard cut on all yardage, if there is less then 1/2 yard left on the bolt after your cut we will include the additional with your order at the same great sale price. Any questions feel free to call the store and ask or shot me an e-mail vsmith@oldalleyquiltshop.com.
We will be closed Thursday November 25th to celebrate Thanksgiving with our Families. We wish you all a Blessed Holiday. There will be a Black Friday and Small Business Saturday Sale Novemer 26th and 27th. So stay tuned for the details in the coming weeks.
You will not want to miss the 2021 Holiday Hop coming up we have 9 great shops and excellent prizes. While your out, pick up supplies to make all your great Christmas gifts this year, there is nothing better then a homemade gift. Get a head start on your shopping by checking out our website we have some great ideas on the homepage (watch the video).
As our Block of the Month Program is coming to a close we will be showing a few new BOM options for 2022 so keep an eye out for that e-mail. If you are a current BOM member we will be showing these to you in person at our next class.
I have set up the 2022 Beginning Quilting Classes. Have you always wanted to learn more about quilting? Not certain where to start? Or have you been quilting for awhile, and need to know more about the tips and techniques to improve your quilting projects? If so, this class is for you!
This eight session class begins on January 10th, 2022 and will take you through information about selecting your fabrics, threads and needles, and will help you to complete a baby or lap quilt in your choice of fabrics. Learn about battings, backings, the quilting process, and how to add a perfect binding to complete your quilt. Sign up below.
We are also working on an advanced Beginner series 9likely coming for March and April). Also some other series of classes. We have not held many classes as of late but we are working to change that, so watch for more begin announced soon.
