Extra Events
I can’t just leave things alone. We are trying to plan some extras to make each weekend an event. Here’s what’s happening so far:
Friday, November 12, 2021 –
Susan Edmonson will be here on Friday, November 12, 2021
with her fabulous selection of hand embroidery threads and embellishments.
For those of you that have never participated in a shop hop, let me explain how it works…
You get a couple of your friends and you travel from shop to shop. At each shop you get a “stamp” on your passport and each shop will give you a free 4″ collectable quilt block with a unique “quilty” phrase printed on it. You will need to purchase the Shop Hop magazine to get a passport. These magazines are available at each shop. We still have plenty of magazines available. Each participant needs a passport. You have 2 months to visit all the shops. This shop hop includes shops all over North and South Carolina. At the end of November, you will mail in your passports. The more stamps you have, the more chances you have to win some great prizes. Many of you are posting pictures from each shop you visit on Facebook. Search for All Carolina’s Shop Hop to see what everyone is doing. It’s fun to see pictures of your favorite shop. We are planning some special guests or a special event each weekend . More about that later.
What can you expect from a trip to our “barn”? First of all, it’s not really a barn. It’s a green metal building. But you really are on a farm. You do have to drive for a bit on a dirt road, but you won’t hear banjo music in the background. You will see a green building on your right as you come down the hill on Page Farm Rd. Park your car anywhere. Once inside, you will see all the fabrics that you usually see in our booth at a show. We have lots of prints, from traditional styles like mid 19th century to contemporary prints like Kaffe and Tim Holtz. We carry a wide range of batiks as well. We always stock a good variety of neutral background fabrics in cottons and batiks. We have made up a lot of new fabric packs. We have made up a lot of new quilt kits as well.
We have also been going through a lot of vintage stock during our “covid time out”. We have pulled out our vintage trims and embellishments. We’ve pulled out all our buttons. All our French Heirloom laces and eyelets are organized. Plan to spend some time going through some random merchandise. We’ll have a sale table with some wools on it. There are some random things on a clearance table. We’ve priced a lot of store samples.
Quilt Tops
As you know, when you have a quilt shop you have to make samples. While we might like each quilt, we just can’t keep them all. We have gone through our quilt tops and priced them to sell. Most are priced a little above what the fabric would cost. I’ve pulled out more than 50 quilt tops to sell. Maybe you need a quick quilt. If it’s not quite the right size, you can always add another border. Now is the time to get it to your long arm quilter so it can be under your Christmas tree. Take a look when you are here. .
