Sunday Shopping

I'm happy to announce that Sew-Together will now be OPEN on Sundays.  I know lots of you only have time on the weekends to devote to your favorite hobby,  so I have added new Sunday hours to make things more convenient.

There are a few other changes in the hours, most notably that I will now be open on Monday nights from 6:00 to 9:00 and I will be closed on Tuesdays.

You can see the full schedule over in the column on the right.  I hope these changes help make it easier for you.  As always, I look forward to having you stop by.

The Super Bowl Sale




 A big "Thank You" to everyone who stopped by on Super Bowl Sunday to take part in big sale!   As you can see, I was really trying to get into the spirit by wearing my Football jersey, even though the Patriot's were not in the game.
There was a terrific turnout of quilters who had lots of fat quarters to choose from:



For those who wanted fabric off the bolt, there was a great cutting crew:

With all the snow we've had this winter, it was great to see so many quilters brave the weather and come to the shop.  Thanks for making my first Super Bowl Sale really Super!

New Year, New Classes and fabrics

I am kicking off the New Year with a special sale event on Feb 6th, Super Bowl Sunday.
It's a Fat Quarter Frenzy!  All pre-cut fat quarters will be on sale for $1.00 each.  There will also be scrap bags of fabric for $3.00 each or 2 / $5.00.  (Some of these scrap bags contain as much as 2 yards of fabric.)  Special shop hours for the sale are 10:00am to 3:00pm.  Come early for best selection.  Super Bowl sale discounts can not be combined with any additional discounts.   Gift certificates are accepted as always. 

The new year has also brought a new schedule of classes:
Fat Quarter Friendly
Fat quarter friendly February
The start of a new series here at Sew Together..a monthly themed pattern for a seasonal wallhanging. This wall quilt can be finished (or very close to it) by the end of class.  As an added  feature, we’ll be trading fabrics  with each other for maximum scrappy fun.
