Hello Quilting Community!

It’s been a busy 1st Quarter of the 2018 quilting season at Fabrics Galore & Quilting Store in Blairsville, GA.

We’ve got our ducks in a row as far as planning,  and want to share lots of news on upcoming events, classes and new fabrics that are still arriving for your quilting and craft projects as we move into Spring and Summer seasons.

I’ll start with a couple of Featured Events coming up with limited capacity, so get registered early to ensure you’ll get a seat. 

UPCOMING EVENTS

Monday, April 9th, 2018 – History of Making Fabric by Mike Flynn (with Quilting Treasures)

Mike Flynn will present a 30 minute video/talk about the history of Quilting Treasures (America’s Oldest Fabric Company) and how quilt shop quality fabric is made. He’ll explain the differences between their fabric and chain store fabrics and talk a bit about the future of fabrics.   He will take questions from the audience.

Everyone gets a goodie bag including 4 free QT fat quarters so they can feel the quality.  A video presentation shows fabric being printed in the factory and goes through all the steps of production of the flat bed printing process which is how quilt shop quality fabric is made, and shows the roller process which is how chain fabric is made.

Mike will finish his presentation with a drawing for prizes which are QT fat quarter bundles/strip rolls that he’ll supply for free.  You can add to the giveaways if you like too.

The entire presentation takes about 30 minutes.

We will have refreshments, goodie bags and a Short Bolt Sale.

This is a free event with limited space, you will need to sign up to participate.  Register Here.
