We just love a mystery!  
 
Mystery Block of the Month
Ask and you shall receive!  We are offering our block of the month beginning in January.  You can pick up block #1 after January 10, 2012 and the 10th of each month following.  Even though its a mystery, I can tell you that it is made with batiks and we cut the block pieces out for you.  The monthly block fee is $10.  In addition, in December you can purchase fabric for borders, sashing and backing of your choice at 25% off.
 
COME PICK UP BLOCK #2 FEBRUARY 10TH OR AFTER!  
 
Mystery Quilt Retreat-Our first retreat was a great success.  We had a fantastic group of people.  Everyone completed the tops of their quilts minus a couple of borders.  They were all so different and all sooooo beautiful.  Hope you can join us for our next one.  We already have people signed up for the next one even without a set date.  Here's the quilt. 
                   
   
 
  

Store Incentives 

Times are tough right now so I've implemented some incentives for my customers.  We'll call it the Runs with Scissors Stimulus Plan. 
 
First, everyone has a birthday, and although you might lie about how old you are to your friends, getting older is a good thing here!  On the day of your birthday, come in to enjoy a discount of half your age!  So, if you're turning 60 you'll get a 30% discount on your entire purchase!  See, age does have its benefits!  I.D. required for discount.  If your birthday falls on a day that I am closed you may come in the next business day.  This discount is on regularly priced merchandise. This is for your own personal use (not your friend's or guild's use, please).  During a sale you will receive whichever discount is greater!!
 
Second, I have Fabric Cards!  Think of them as coffee cards for quilters.  For each 10 yards of regularly-priced fabric you buy you'll get 1 yard free!  Once your card is full it will get entered into a drawing to win a $25.00 gift certificate to my store.  To make it even easier, I'll keep your cards on file for you so you won't ever have to worry about not having it with you. 
 
Thirdly, you'll get a 20% discount for any supplies, patterns, or fabrics purchased for a class you take here at the shop. 
 
We will be happy to hold an item for you for up to 48 hours.  If unpaid it will be returned to inventory.  We can take phone orders with credit card payment.  We ask that you pick up your orders as soon as possible due to limited space, or we can ship it to you.
 

We have Best Press Starch Alternative available for refills - bring in your empty bottle and I'll refill it for $5.00!

 

 

 

Are your Scissors Dull?  Bring them in and we'll get them sharpened for you!  One week turn-around-time.  Call or stop by for pricing.

 

 

THE Pillowcase Challenge: RunsWithScissors Donations: 1378

as many of you know, I have joined the American Patchwork & Quilting Magazine's 1 Million Pillowcase Challenge: Make a Pillowcase, Make a Difference.  Throughout the entire 2011 year I'll be collecting pillowcases to be donated locally to a charity of our choice, including shelters, nursing homes, children's hospitals, and more.  The pillowcases you make will be used right here in our community, and we're accepting pillowcases for any age group.  To get started right away on this great cause, visit allpeoplequilt.com / millionpillowcases to download free pillowcase patterns.  REMEMBER: you can make a pillowcase for any age, any gender, any interest.  Please - new, handmade pillowcases only!  Keep up the great work! This was so successful, they have extended the challenge another year.  Thank you to all that you do!

  

New! Bolt of the Day

Every day I'll be featuring a bolt of fabric that will be on sale 25% off!  Every day will be a different bolt, so come in often!

 

 

three years and counting!  Thank you to all who have helped support our shop. Time flies when you're having fun and with all my great customers, I'm always having fun!  Marie

Sale Fabrics

If you haven't checked out my sale wall lately you are missing out! I have added new fabrics again.  To make my sale wall even more sweet I've dropped the price of the fat quarters to only $1.50!  All sale wall panels are only $4.50, and the yardage is still the same low price of only $6.99.  Fabrics are added all the time so check back often!  Remember, this is all fabric that has moved off the floor to make room for new items.  You might find some of your favorites there!
