Less than a month remains until the doors will open for our biggest Threadfest Sale ever! Where do we get all of our stuff? Donations, and they have been remarkable!

Additionally, we have several years of Sew Beautiful and Creative Needle magazines as well as Quilters Newsletter and Quiltmaker. We also have a huge selection of home decor fabric. Some pieces are large enough to make drapes or upholster a chair, smaller ones would be perfect for accent pillows. Our selection of trims is also amazing as is our decorator fabric samples.

Cross stitch fans, once again we have a great selection of cross stitch patterns, magazines and DMC floss.

Knitters and crocheters will delight in the many skeins of yarn for sale, patterns and vintage books.

Perhaps the most amazing donation we have received will excite all of the canvas embroiderers in the area: over $15,000 worth of hand-painted canvases from designers such as Elizabeth Turner, Lee, Sharon G and Dede. We will offer all of these at 75% off original retail.

Pictures of many of these items will be posted, so check this blog daily for updates. And remember, everything is for sale at garage sale prices! See you at the sale!
