What's New at CQ 12/26/2023

Dear Friends,

It's time for our YEAR-END SALE!!  Take 20% off* storewide, 12/26/23-12/31/23. Please stop by and see everything we have on sale!

There are new classes already on the calendar for first quarter and beyond!  For example, Elizabeth is planning on a class showing you some of the creative and amazing things you can do with fabric selvedges in February.

What causes do you support with your sewing? We are always looking for outlets that can use hand-sewn items, and hope that we can coordinate with you to bring some fabric joy to others.

As a reminder, we are closing at 4:00pm on New Year's Eve, and will be closed New Year's Day.

Happy Sewing!
-Marianne

We've gotten in a few bolts of Renee Nanneman's Cottage Cloth from Andover Fabrics.

This elegant wide-back just came in from QT Fabrics, and has to be seen in person to fully appreciate.

From Birch Fabrics (organic cotton!), we have assorted Charley Harper Fat Quarter Medleys, as well as some canvas in the print "Endpapers".

Quilter's Rule has introduced a new and improved formula. Quilt Soap contains no phosphorus, dyes, or water. The surfactants in Quilt Soap are biodegradable and will not harm fabrics or the environment.
