Finishing touches -
Good morning/afternoon to you once more. Saying hello in your inbox and checking in to see how you are. Thank you so much for all the bundle orders last week, it was a pleasure to choose threads for them as part of the special offer. Thank you to those of you who didn't realise we had an offer on and queried why they had received a spool of thread with their order, worried that it might belong to another customer. Such honesty and concern for us as a small business and for another who may have not received their correct order. We love our community of customers always looking out for us and each other.
|
This week we have another offer, in fact we have two, as a thank you for your continued custom and support. We have 15% off all Aurifil Threads including the Colour Builder Box sets. Plus there is 10% off all Ric Racs, Bells, and the House on the Hill Wooden Buttons. Lots of delicious finishing touches for a myriad of projects. We have also received more of the Christmas Lights Trim, a gorgeous addition to a festive make. We have seen a lot of Christmas patterns and fabrics whizzing out so now is the time to grab the embellishments for them. The Fancy Ric Rac and the Christmas Lights Trim always run low and out before Christmas so it is good to order ahead in case we cannot get further supplies in time.

This week has seen another gorgeous display of quilts locally with the Kerenza Quilters Exhibition. A group of us went on the opening day at Kea Church to admire and be inspired by the plethora of work on display. It is a joy to see the creativity of others showcased, proving all of us have great skill and talents even if we were told at school that we weren't creative or artistic. It can take great courage to show our work to others and we applaud everyone for doing so. This also goes for all our customers who share their projects with us in person or via photos. It is wonderful to see them all especially if we have helped to choose the fabrics as we know we have done our job well.

|
Thank you for your friendship and custom. It is our pleasure to provide a more personal service for our customers and we look forward to helping you choose the right products and fabrics for your projects.

With our Very Best wishes
