From their release:
From Cindy and Patti at Quilter's Gallery
WE ARE GOING TO REOPEN! Now, before you get too excited,
let me say this is a limited re-opening. Two days only. Friday June 7 and
Saturday, June 8, 2013. 9 am to 4 pm on Friday and 9 am to 2 pm on Saturday.
Many of you ask – “How can we shop with you?” We can’t
post all the fabrics and nothing compares to looking and feeling fabrics in
person. The problem with a retail location had been time and cost. We think we
have come up with a compromise. Our cousin has a Carpet Store with a warehouse
in the back. She needs foot traffic and we need display space. We are going to
try an experiment. As you know, sometimes you need to think outside the box to
be successful. We are going to set up in her warehouse for the weekend. We are
going to bring all our fabrics, just like at quilt show. We will bring batiks
and prints, cut in 3 yard pieces, 1 yard pieces and 1/2 yd. pieces. We have
just received 3 new orders of batiks. $10.95 a yard or $5.50 for a 1/2 yd.
We’ll have prints there too – $9.95 a yd. or $5.50 for a 1/2 yd.
We will bring our specially priced fat quarter tubs for
bargain hunters.
We are also going to bring some one-of-a kind items. It
is time to clean out some quilt tops. These quilt tops are samples from kits.
We just can’t keep everything (what?). So they will be reasonably priced for
the fabric and the labor. If this event is successful, we’ll pack everything up
and do it more often.
So, call your quilting friends and plan a road trip to
our “One Shop -Shop Hop Stop”.
Location: Carpet Distributors. 115 Carpet Rd.,
