HOTFLASH! NOVEMBER 14, 2019
2019 HOLIDAY GIVING PROJECT As we start to get into the Holiday spirit & with this early cold spell, we are reminded of those in need. For this year’s Annual Holiday Giving Project, we have learned of a wonderful, generous family that is working hard to care for many. Miss Carly’s is an organization that has opened their home in the heart of our city to those in need in order to connect with people personally and build relationships. No forms. No alienation. They serve those who have fallen between the cracks and burned all their bridges. They provide daily meals and unconditional love with a side of sass! Learn more about Miss Carly’s mission by visiting her Facebook Page Miss Carly’s or her website www.misscarlys.org Quilter’s General Store will be donating 10% of our total sales from Black Friday week, November 25 through 30 to Miss Carly’s mission. Please stop by and help us help Miss Carly and her amazing work.
Additionally, donations will be collected through December 15th. Miss Carly has identified the following items as needed: blankets, sweatshirts, hats & gloves, hand warmers, socks, coloring books for adults & children, and writing journals (for people going into drug treatment). For your donation of these items to this project you will receive a Special Coupon from QGS. ******************* SAVE THE DATE! Saturday December 14 1 pm to 3 pm Join us for a visit with Monique Jacobs of Open Gate Quilts. She will be here to show her new line of Batiks called Costal Getaway. This is her second collection of batiks with a seaside theme for Maywood Studio. Schools of fish, sailboats, and beachy plant motifs are colored in rich violets, deep blues, and sea greens reminiscent of the colors inside an abalone shell. All fabrics are complimentary to her first line Coastal Chic. Click here to see a preview of this beautiful line. Monique will also be giving us a sneak peek of another new line called Amour, also with Maywood, that will be coming out in the Spring. This beautiful floral and geometric collection of purples, greens, and greys sparkles with elegance. The line includes textured blenders, a French script print, and a beautiful border stripe.
