And Sew On... April 8th, 2019

As April rolled in many of you were rolling out. This fact was "driven home" when SuzAnne, our seasonal employee, commented that there were over
400 RV's leaving their park last weekend! My response was, to quote the legendary Harry Caray of Chicago Cubs broadcasting fame, ... "Holy Cow"!
Wow - as these folks start leaving their parks, my practical thought came to mind... 400 RV's getting fuel and dumping sewage on the same day... "Katie bar the door!" The next thought that came to mind was this is one of about 20 parks on the Westside of the Phoenix area... another "Holy Cow"!
Here in the store, we have noticed the change too as many of you have made that last rush in to find a fun pattern, specialty gift item or just have us cut a few yards of your favorite fabric before you head home. To you we say ...
"So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye" and safe travels!
It has been another fun winter seeing so many of smiling faces that make your yearly trek to Arizona and enjoy warmer, sunny (sometimes) days and fun activities you may not get to experience at home. We look forward to seeing you next time!
So as you head out and are rolling down the highway and your next thought is ... "Do I have enough of that Bee Joyful fabric to finish my quilt???"
Never fear - the Arizona Quilts website is here.
Just go to https://www.azquilts.com/ and
search for what you need and we will package and
ship it to you domestically or in Canada.
Thanks for making us part of your winter travels!
Happy Spring Quilting!

Susan, Kathy, Vickie, Patsy,
