Yes, we have moved!

We are getting ready for our grand (re) opening and a large garage sale this coming week! Detailed info is on the website under events!! Here are some shots of the new store! Thank you Andrea for being our photographer!


We have lots of new classes on our website!

Moving in 3 Days! It is hard to believe!

I cant believe we are moving in less than 82 hours! Are we ready? Well, we are getting there! And I must say the staff is handling it all very well, considering I change the to do list every day!

Right now our Internet is down at the shop, so I am sending this from home! If you are far away and looking for something, please call us and we will tell you if we have it in stock and will gladly give you the sale price!

This week we are working hard to move as much out of the shop as we can!! We have begun the packing of items as we can, but many are having to go on sale big time! So here is the scoop!

• All notions left are 40% off and more!
• All patterns and books are on sale from 25% off and more!
• Lots and lots and lots of fabric is on sale! From $2.50 to $5 a yard! Lots and lots of fabric!
• All thread is on sale for 35% off!
• Kits on sale from 25% off to 50% off! Their are tons of them!!!
• Wool, yes you are reading it right --- and please don't call Kathleen and tell her! All wool that is out is on sale for 50% off.... yes, we have packed up most of the wool, but there is allot on sale --- all the applique 6x8 and 8x12 sizes are on sale!
• We have cleaned out the closets and found lots of treasures! Come and get them!

We will be closed July 1st - 4th and we will re-open on the 5th with new fabric, new yarn, new wool and new ideas!

We appreciate each one of you and look forward to showing off the new place on July 5th! Please understand it is under construction is why we do not take you over at this time!

June? How did 1/2 the year pass and I am still not organized?

Dear Friends of Fabric and Fiber!

Well, new fabric is still arriving daily and I am not sure we will be able to keep all in the safe until we move our shop in July!! The Christmas fabrics and Halloween fabrics are here or on their way... New fabrics are coming from market! Clarice purchased some new yarns last week!

Blocks of the Month --- we are at just one spot left for Christmas Memories and 2 spots left for Warm Hearts --- so, if this is something you are interested in.... please let us know!

Status of the move?

• At this point we think we can take the majority of what we carry today except for the flannel --- we still have a good supply on hand if you want to take advantage of 25% OFF!


• We are working on what are the best patterns, books, notions and what nots to carry!


• And of course we want to carry as much fabric as possible!!!!

So, the move is making me clean out little holes in my office, closets....... It means we will have to have a garage sale in July..... so hear is the best kept secret! July 15th we will have a large sale at our current address of everything that does make the move! 9 to 4 (no early sales!) and no, of course I do not know what will be left!! But I did want to make sure you knew of the sale!

We appreciate your business and your friendship!

Amy Butler Yarn is on it's Way

In our usual fashion, we have pondered and thought, and asked and questioned and we still do not know a great deal, but we have pulled the trigger! We are going to carry yarn! We are starting off with a new line from Amy Butler! It will begin shipping in May and we will keep you updated!

Moving! Yes, you read it right!

As charming as the bank building is, it has one thing we cant change - it has a small class room! Where we are going to move to the Stroud's building - 114 W. Walnut! The owner of that building is redoing it, and it has a great training area and great light! Our current plans are to move the first part of July!!

Mom and I are excited about this opportunity and we look forward to making a great shop for all our customers! We will be choosing paint colors this week and begin working on repairing and painting our current fixtures!

I just wanted our bloggers to be the first to know! As a special thank you, all of our library fabric is on sale for $6.50 during the month of April! Your special phrase is - 114 West Walnut!

Customers are so amazing!

What a wild snow storm! 6" to 12" in most places on Sunday and completely gone today!! Wow! Only God can do that!!

I am so amazed how wonderful our customers are! One of our customers (her name is Dale, but don't tell her I am talking about her!) had asked for me to take a picture of Kay's newest creation "Christmas Memories" by Blackbird Designs.... Me? Get something done in a timely manner? No Way! So, I asked her to remind me if I did not do it! She did! Now how awesome is that!! Here some photo's of it! It will begin April 15th! Yes, we are celebrating that day! No need to be sad, it will happen again next year!!

I know when people come in and give us positive feedback, I give my honest answer of great employees, talented sample makers, and a great building... BUT, I need to say AWESOME customers!! Wow!

We have another customer very similar to Dale, yes this one has a boys name also! Michael! She is great to read our newsletters, listen to the radio station, and let me know when I made errors --- and she is really really nice about it!

So, from now on --- I have to say our customers is really what makes this shop awesome!

Thanks to all of you for supporting us!

Only Because of His Grace,

Mary Elizabeth!
