!!!!Sidewalk Sale!!!!
Saturday, August 14th 7:30am - 9:30am

It could get a little wild, but it will be well worth your time to come out for this one! We’re going to have great, gently used “stuff” for sale from our own private stashes, and maybe even some new “stuff” from the store. You’ll find fabrics, books, patterns and who knows what else, but it will all be quilt related. There will also be coupons for the store and lots of surprises. As with any great sale, you have to come early for the best bargains!!

Drop your drawers!!!
It’s A Fabric Boutique Panty Raid!
Yes, you heard us right, we’re having a panty raid!
It will be Labor Day weekend, September 4th - 6th, and we’re asking you to drop off packaged, new panties for women or children. We’re donating them to Safe Nest, a shelter for abused women and children here in the Valley. In return, you’ll receive 20% off of your entire purchase for that one day (excluding Enesco Heartwood Creek Figurines by Jim Shore). So come on by and drop your drawers, you’ll be helping a very worthwhile organization.

We’ll be open on Labor Day, September 6th from 12-4.
