Quilter's Delight Fabric Sale!

Been eyeing a certain fabric at the store but just haven't gotten it yet? August 12th - 15th we will be holding a huge Quilter's Delight Fabric Sale here at the store. Many of the bolts in the store will be 50% off! Now's your chance to come grab the fabric you've drooled over for a fraction of the normal cost!

Row by Row Experience

Anyone taking road trips this summer around the state? Out of state? We have the perfect experience for you! Rather than picking up a postcard at each stop, or getting a t-shirt, join in the Row by Row Experience!

Here's how this works:

Participating Quilt Shops have created a Row, all centered around the theme of water, that is unique to their store. When you visit the shop you can collect the free pattern to the Row they designed. Many will have kits available to buy as well if you want to be sure to get the exact fabrics for that row too. Collect as many or as few as you want, and then combine them to make quilts, wall hangings, table runners, etc. I like to think of it as collecting postcards that you can snuggle with!

So, here's the run down:

• Collect patterns/rows between June 21-September 8, 2015. 
• Patterns are FREE (but you do have to physically visit that shop to get it)
• Quilt shops in all 50 states and 9 of Canada's provinces (not Newfoundland) are participating, so wherever you go you can find a Row!

And now you are probably wondering what our Row looks like.

Our Gila River Row was designed by Sherelle Wilkerson and Karen Earlywine.


Now...just because I'm a nerd and I wanted to see what the route would look like to make one big loop around New Mexico to visit all 16 participating shops (get the addresses by clicking on the link). You could hop on at any point on this route and make the loop to visit every single NM shop, and it would bring you right back to where you started with minimal backtracking.

To follow this route would be 20 hours of driving. All in one go, that'd be long and hard, but break this up into a week and that's a nice fun road trip (that'd less than 3 hours of driving a day if you followed the exact route) with plenty of time to look around, meander, and check out the state!

The map above is a hybrid of two Google Maps (Google wouldn't allow me to put all 16 stops in one map, so I split it in two). But, here are the links for the two Google Maps for anyone interested:

Map #1 (Silver City through the southeast portion of the state and up to Las Vegas, NM)
Map #2 (Las Vegas, NM through Taos and down through the central/western run of the state)

Have fun with this! If you participate (and we hope you do!), send us photos of your finished Row by Row Project!

Pre-Inventory Sale!

We need your help! We have inventory coming up, and the less in the store to inventory, the better! Come check out our Pre-Inventory Sale event. We'll have gifts throughout both days, and nearly everything on sale. This is going to be huge!

"For the Pets" Sewing Event!

Lawana Beem needs help making up her famous pet beds for the Animal Shelter, so she has asked for helpers (sewers and stuffers) to come to a "For the Pets" Sewing Event at Aunt Judy's Attic on Thursday, April 9th starting at 10:30am. 

Lawana will be providing the fabric for the beds and the stuffing for them. All she needs everyone to bring is their sewing machines, Basic Sewing Kit, and thread.  Everyone knows how much fun we have when we all get together to sew and visit so come and give back to our community!

BYU Living Legends

The BYU Living Legends group is coming to Silver City for an incredible performance!

"Celebrating the native cultural heritage of North and South America and the South Pacific, Living Legends presents a vibrant spectacle of energy, music, costume, and dance. As they take the stage, talented performers of native descent capture the rhythms of Polynesia, portray the fascinating legends of Native American people, and dazzle the senses with the energy of Latin America. Both the lavish costumes and the intricate choreography are authentic representations of the showcase cultures." -http://livinglegends.info/

Join us at the WNMU FACT on February 24th at 7:30pm for this wonderful performance! Tickets are available here in the store or at Alotta Gelato. Adult tickets are $10 and under 17 is $7. Have more than 2 children and want to be able to take them all without breaking the bank? Family tickets are only $35!

Find more information on their website and the Silver City Living Legends Concert Event Page. 

Quilts of Valor Sew In

On February 7th, in honor of the National Sew Day for Quilts of Valor, we will be hosting a Quilts of Valor sew in here at the store from 10am to 2pm. These beautiful quilts are made to "cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor." -http://www.qovf.org/

These quilts are lovingly made by volunteers across the nation to give to the men and women who have served to protect each of us. What a beautiful way to show thanks and gratitude!

Recently a few members of the Southwest New Mexico Quilters Guild presented some of the Grant County with completed Quilts of Valor.

(From left to right: Carol Pickoring , Jude Casco, Eugene Lewis, Jep Housley, Cliff Tavernier, Terri Sommers)

Commander Bryant Jamison gave this response:

"The folks that create these quilts are a special kind of person. They pour their hearts and souls into every stitch creating a one of a kind quilt with exacting standards set forth from a national organization: http://www.qovf.org/"

"A Quilt of Valor can really get around, I found out during the presentation. A quilt top may be started here in Silver City, then be sent over to Texas for binding, then maybe Utah for the quilting stitches and at every stop a passionate volunteer opens their heart and gets busy pouring their love into every stitch and all this is done with a Veteran in mind. Wow, I cannot begin to explain the love and emotions that this creates."

Please join us on February 7th, from 10-2 for our QOV sew in! We would love to be able to deliver more of these Quilts of Valor to the amazing men and women in Grant County who have served us all.

To Market To Market To See Lots of Things!!

I heard some interesting news that is happening this week!!  Donna and Judy are going to International Quilt Market this week.  They are so excited, and will hopefully get tons of ideas for new classes, goodies and fabrics for the store.  WhooooHooooo!

But the best thing about their leaving is that Judy asked Marnie and Terri to work at the store while they are gone.  So while the "mice" are away the "cats" are going to play and have a Green Tag Twenty Sale.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday they will choose twenty different fabrics and put a green tag on them.  Those tagged fabrics will be 20% off for that day only.  So if you have really had your eye on a particular fabric and would like to see it on sale, you better go in and ask if they might consider it for the following day.
