Welcome to The QUILT STORE community update!
Hello Quilters! It's March, don't forget to roll your clocks forward this weekend for more daylight hours. Yipee!! Spring is almost here!!
As always, we have a lot going on at The Quilt Store. We have new quilt kits, more classes, and fabulous new fabric. Come see us or shop online to take it all in!
While you're here, we do have a couple of housekeeping things to update you on.
As you may know, Joann's Fabric is going out of business nationwide. Sadly, much of their business will transfer to profits for other big box stores, but we hope you will continue to shop with us for your quilting needs and allow us to assist with other sewing and handicraft supplies, too, as you need them. We have access to many more products than our store walls can hold. So if you need a notion, thread, a book, a pattern, or other tools please ask us to order those items for you, before you shop big-box. We appreicate your support of our small business, and can't thank you enough!
Secondly, in case you missed our Facebook post about this, we are aware that some customers who use Xfinity home internet, may be experiencing technical issues while trying to access our website. We assure you, our site is safe and secure! If you're experiencing issues accessing the links on this email, you can still access our site with your mobile device while connected to your mobile internet service provider (T-mobile, Verizon, etc.). We are working hard to get this resolved with Xfinity as fast as possible, and we appreicate your patience.
