October 2023 - Anderson Fabrics and Quilt Shop Newsletter
Happy Fall!
Fall is in full swing, even if we aren’t ready for it! We have been getting in new fabrics and have decided that we will do occasional Live Facebook posts as we have fabrics to share. We hope you will watch when we do this. We are still learning this whole technology thing, we don’t mind if you help us out by telling us if you can’t hear, etc.
Flat Fold Blow out sale: Oct 2-14th We are bursting at the seams with our Flat fold cuts. Come and help us find our backroom and get some good deals on fabric. There are a lot of wools, velvets, suedes, linens and drapery fabrics. Flat fold fabrics will be 60% off at $1 per yard.
2024 Block of the month: It isn't too early for us to be thinking about our next Block of the Month. We have committed to doing Wing and a Prayer "Arabella" with Tonga Batiks from Timeless Treasures. From the Palest of greens to the deepest of blues, the 10 piece Tonga Arabella collection features the colors of precious Jewels, including sapphires, rubies and aquamarines. The 108" square quilt uses traditional piecing techniques. We have 7 spots available for the BOM. We have ordered some widebacks that are 118, as it is a King sized quilt. If you are interested in the BOM and would like coordinating backing you will need 10 yds of regular width fabric. The BOM is on our website and you can preorder through the website or talk to one of us at the store. No discounts will be allowed for the BOM. Please contact the shop if you are interested in the BOM AND coordinating backing fabric.
Charm Club:
Charm Club meets the second Tuesday of Each month. October 10th is our next meeting. Join us in store or on Facebook. Remember to make a comment as your name gets put in the basket for goodies and we draw twice a year. If you watch us online, you can get 20% off one time purchase the week of the club. Code is told during the FB Live. See new fabrics; We will have a free project for the month. Check us out on Facebook. Come and join the fun.
2024 Calendar: Have you thought about your calendar for the upcoming year. Kona is offering a calendar this year with free 16” Block patterns and monthly patterns. The Calendar is $24. We plan to have a monthly sew-along for anyone who would like to participate. If you buy the calendar from us, we will print the pattern. If you don’t want to purchase the calendar, we charge $1 per piece of paper. (average pattern is 6 pages) In the end, you could end up with blocks to make either of the quilts shown here. We are not kitting anything, you can use any fabric you choose. If you want to participate, please let Clare know. We will sew on the third thursday of each month at 1pm.
Classes:
