~Quiltsmart Midi Bag Interfacing Panels~
Since many of you enjoyed our class on the Midi Bag and have asked how you can make additional bags, we now stock replacement interfacing which is available in a convenient panel. Each panel is enough for one additional bag and please note that you'll still need your existing Midi Bag pattern (which are also currently in-stock.)
For more information about the Midi Bag and to view a brief tutorial video which explains how they're made, please click HERE.
~Palmerton's Christmas in the Park~
If you want to see a beautiful sight, visit the Palmerton Park in the evening to see all the lighted Christmas trees. The Quilted Crow tree is on the pathway to the playground. I dedicated the tree this year in honor of Anita’s life. I know that typically once someone passes, the dedications are made in memory of someone, but I remember Anita every day, when I looked at the samples she made or when I fold fabric into fat quarters the way she taught me. I wanted the tree to celebrate Anita’s life, her artistic talent, quilting knowledge, great business sense, and warm personality which made the shop special. I hope you will find the time to visit the park and remember how Anita touched your life.
~More Stocking Stuffer Ideas~Here are some more great gift suggestions for the quilter who has everything!
These items are all available in the shop now and can be shipped upon request, call us at (610)900-4700 for more info:~Clover needle threaders (and optional stand)~
 The Desk Needle Threader is the ultimate threader. Simply drop your needle in, rest your thread in the slot, press the button and you will have a pre-threaded needle! Ideal for difficult to thread floss and metallics and also for difficult-to-see needle eyes. It even has a built-in thread cutter! If you'd like to see the needle threader in action, click the image above or clickHERE to view a demonstration video on YouTube.Also available: ~The Quilter's Craft Needle Threader Stand~
 This optional affordable wooden stand helps to stabilize your needle threader so you don't need to hold it, making it easier for those of us with arthritic hands.
~Dill Button Thimbles~ These thimbles are available in 4 colors and 3 sizes and range in price from $1.95 to $2.30. They are soft and comfortable to use because of their rubber composition and are perfect for anyone who says they can't wear a thimble because they don't conform to your finger shape!
~Gift Cards~ Gift Cards are available in any amount you choose and never expire. What quilter wouldn't enjoy a shopping spree in a quilt shop?
