It's Visit Your Local Quilt Shop Day!

1/25/2014

Today is Visit Your Local Quilt Shop Day! It's the day to get out and show your LQS some love. Many stores across the U.S. (and at least one down under) are participating - you can find those who are part of the big shopping spree photo contest here, but there are tons more who are also hosting smaller events and their own special promotions. Head out to your LQS and see how they're celebrating!

I'll be shopping at Cotton Weeds Quilt Shop in Freeport ME - they're offering customers 20% off storewide (excluding block-of-the-months and special orders). That's like buy four yards of fabric, get one yard free! Hmm, I wonder what they have in purple....

And speaking of what you get when you mix red and blue, my January Stash Stack Club package just arrived from Pink Castle Fabrics, and you guessed it - purple! Here's a peek:

Are you joining in the LQS Day festivities? Do you have a favorite LQS in your neck of the woods? If you're headed out to shop for fabric today, enjoy! (And of course if you're home creating with fabric today instead, enjoy that, too : )

Linking up my new stash goodies with Sarah Quilts who's hosting Sunday Stash this week!

Ooh, that is a lovely bundle. Pink Castle always puts together the nicest color bundles!

That's good to hear - I'm new to the Stash Stack Club, so not totally sure what to expect. So far I'm impressed, though!

What a beautiful bundle to open. Seems like they included a lot of really great fabrics in the purple month.

I don't often make it out to my LQS, but that's ok. I find that the selection veers pretty heavily towards traditional fabrics there, so I have better luck buying online. I get the best notions there, though.

Sheryl, that tends to be how mine runs, too. I'll share my LQS Day finds later this week - I did get a few neat prints and two new tools, but they tend not to have complete lines of things I love or to carry some of the more modern designers, so it's hit or miss. I do a little too much online shopping to [over]compensate ; )

Such a lovely purple bundle! Hope you found some great purples to add to it at your LQS!

Thanks, Michelle! I did get one purple - I couldn't resist a little more Piper after using up my stash at Christmas : )

Love the purples! I should have gotten in on that stack, I'm sadly lacking in purple!

1/26/2014 11:48:00

Thanks, Kacey! It's my favorite color, so I had a few already, but with Radiant Orchid as the color of the year, I just had to have more on hand! There will be plenty of new prints out this year I bet, so you should have a chance to stock up ; )

Boy, I do need some purples. That stack looks wonderful! I may have to look into that club...

1/27/2014 06:26:34

I'm excited for the color infusion all year : )
