Many of you have asked us if we are still publishing a weekly newsletter or if you have, for some reason, done something that has landed you in email jail. I am here to answer those questions.
First, we do publish a weekly newsletter called "And Sew On" which is what you are reading and is delivered each Monday morning. Second, rest assured, no one is in email jail or being purged from our list. Our current email delivery service has had many issues over the last year besides the items mentioned above. After numerous communications with them at several levels, they have given us no other choice than to search for a more reliable partner for this very crucial service!
Herein the title of this week's "And Sew On ..." newsletter -
Under Construction!
We are now working on a new email format utilizing a different service that, we believe, will not only have a fresh look, but provide better service in a timely manner. So keep an eye out for our new look and to those missing our weekly info, you should be back to receiving our email chocked full of information about what's happening at Arizona Quilts in two shakes of a lamb's tail - it's "under construction"!
We thank you for your patience as we build something to
serve you better.
Please remember that we are still offering
curbside pick-up and other shipping options if
you are not venturing outside much.
As always, we want to thank you for being one of the best parts of Arizona Quilts!
Happy Constructing Quilting!
