Annual Sample Sale Craziness

Thanks to everyone who came out for our Annual Sample Sale....it was a huge success.  We've made tons of rooms for new stuff and hopefully helped you add to your stash.  :)  For those of you that didn't make it, I really wanted to post some photos.  Unfortunately it was a busiest and craziest Sample Sale we've ever had so I didn't get one free moment to take photos.  Just to give you an idea of how crazy it was:


Ok, so it wasn't as bad as Black Friday...but it felt like it.  :)  No one comes between quilters (and dare I say, women) and a 75% off sale.

Don't miss our "Park Your Brooms at the Door" event (a special themed What's New) August 9th, 10th, or, 11th at 10am to see all the new things in the store.  We are celebrating Halloween a few months early.  We invite you to wear a costume, we will be giving away fabulous prizes for those that dress up.

Congratulations to Leslie Woolery, who won our Quilters' Travel Companion drawing.
