December, 2023

         Happy Holidays - Christmas is right around the corner. Here is PA we are now getting the winter chills. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas with everyone putting up decorations. This past year has been full of challenges both personal and business. I am hoping some of our business issues will get resolved, and we can get back on track receiving merchandise in a more timely manner. We are still way behind in receiving hand-dyes fabric. Now that we are posting on our site available inventory of Picture This Plus, Lakeside Linens, and R & R Reproductions Fabrics it has helped eliminate trying to keep track of who want's what. Those who really want to wait, we are requiring a 1/2 Non-refundable deposit, and will ship once the fabric arrives. We will also be updating these brands of fabrics as we receive orders that we placed many months ago and have started to arrive. We always keep a good stock of ALL Zweigart, Wichelt, and Weeks Dye Works fabrics which never seem to take long to get back into stock once our stock depletes. I wish the others could follow suit - maybe in 2024 all these issues will be a thing of the past. We can dream, can't we? Since the holidays are fast approaching, remember our suppliers usually have stopped ordering restocks from designers, and wait until after the 1st - so if you are in need of anything in particular, don't wait to place an order. We have started to split orders, sending what we have and back ordering out of stock items. We then will send your back orders, once they arrive. This will speed your orders along, and we will pay any additional postage. Also, when you get a chance, I did get a new camera, so check out our Shop Model tab - I have posted an array of newly stitched Shop models that are now hanging our our store.

      So from all of Us - Hope your holidays are filled with Christmas Cheer, Good Health, and Much Happiness, and Have a Happy New Year!
