Quilting Adventures ~ The Friendly Store for Everyone Who Creates With Fabric!

It was a very close finish in the post card contest. The winner was Heidi with this beautiful fairy!

Our close runner up was Penny’s beautiful angelina postcard! Unfortunately, I had some trouble taking a picture of it because the angelina kept reflecting back.

The winner of our Single Hearts contest was Gail with this cute valentine!

The winners each got a $25 gift card to QA. All of our entries will be mailed off to benefit the Orphan Foundation of America!

For For our new Buck-A-Block series, starting in March 2007, we are offering three colorways: batiks, thirties reproductions, and neutrals. One set of blocks will make a twin size quilt (67 x 82); two sets of blocks will make a queen size quilt (97 x 82). We will have finishing kits available starting in June. There will be many options available, as each of these colorways is “scrappy,” so we recommend that you check the finishing kits often until you find the one that calls your name!

Rules:
1. The first block kit each month is $1. Additional block kits are $3.
2. You (personally) must visit our store sometime during each month to get your block kit for $1. The kits are always ready to be picked up by the first of the month, but may not be picked up in advance.
3. If you pick up your block late and/or have someone else pick up your block for you, you will be charged $3. Sorry, we cannot allow any exceptions.

We had a celebration on January 1, 2007, to bring in the new year and to celebrate our new store. The weather was NASTY, pouring down rain, and I worried (briefly) that no one would come. But there were cars outside an hour before we opened (I promised goody bags to the first 100 people), and by 9:30 they were lining up outside:

We opened the doors early, and by 10:05, we had over 100 people in the store:

Thank you all for coming to our party, in spite of the rotten weather! And congratulations to Anne S. who won the drawing for 10% off for all of 2007! We also gave away nearly 100 door prizes, many very generously donated by our suppliers. Thanks to them, too!
