CLUBS
(pre-registration required for all clubs):
FABRIC CLUBS
These are a great way to
build your stash, break out of your “typical fabric pick rut”
or just have fun getting different fabrics. There are three different
levels for the “Fabric Club” depending on your quest for
fabric..
Fat Quarter Quandary
– every month get a collection of 6 different fat quarters for
the price of $22.50 (plus applicable taxes). No hints, no picks, just
a wonderful surprise when you drop in after the fifteenth of the month
to collect your package. These will be held in the shop until you
pick them up unless the shipping option is requested. Your credit
card will be charged on a monthly basis for the fabric club.
Half Yard Yodelers
– the same as the “Fat Quarter Quandary” except
you get a wonderful collection of half yard cuts for the price of
$41.55 (plus applicable taxes).
The Whole Yard Deal
– the same as the “Fat Quarter Quandary” except
your collection is comprised of full one yard cuts for the price of
$80.00 (plus applicable taxes).
