I'm Back!! And there is a SALE in our Shop!

Hey Everyone,
I really missed posting on here. I haven't even been able to keep up the blog over on our website. I've been posting more on my personal blog, called Sew Good Sew Far, and I usually have mentioned shop updates over there as well. But I really enjoyed having a blog dedicated to the shop that I don't have to dig around to find. And I also really love knowing that at least 88 people are following my posts! So I've decided to keep this one up again, and do my best to post more often if I can. So, today's exciting news is that we've decided to do a little house cleaning before the fall starts. And by house cleaning I mean, CLEAN HOUSE because Regina's house is our shipping and receiving department and we need some room for all the NEW fabrics that are going to start arriving VERY soon. Yes, NEW fabrics, that's what I said. But before we can show those, we have to clean out some old sewing patterns and even some older fabrics that we have left over from our destash that we started in June. Please help us clean out our shop by visiting us on Etsy and viewing the items on pages 7, 8, 9, or 10. If it has the word SALE at the beginning of the listing title, it has been marked down 10%! I've put more than 40 items on sale, many for less than $5!! (Such as this, or this, or this.) Remember, we will combine as much as possible into one shipping envelope or box, so make the most of your shipping cost by purchasing multiple items! And while you're visiting, we wouldn't mind at all if you want to peruse the items on the front page that are the most recently listed fabrics that we picked up last Monday at the Moda warehouse. Yes, we made the 5 hour (each way) drive to go up to the warehouse so we could stock up on some basic solids that will coordinate nicely with the new fabrics we have coming in, as well as some prints we just couldn't say no to. As you are looking at the newer items, you might notice that the title says "YARDAGE AVAILABLE" and then the listing description says something about another website. It's true, we are expanding a little to allow you all to purchase more than just one yard, or as much as we might feel like listing, at a time. Our other site, that I like to call our sister site, is set up as an e-commerce shopping cart specifically so you can purchase yardage from the bolt! (Because who can ever just buy ONE yard?) We hope to expand it later to include more patterns and even kits, but at the moment we're trying to keep it up to date with the yardage listings as we list the fabrics on Etsy. So, please stop by and if you do decide to buy something, mention that you heard about the SALE from this blog (or from a friend who read this blog) and we'll send you an extra surprise with your order, how about that!? Gee, is that enough links for you? If you click on any of the links you should see some of the items I've picked out and think are hidden gems within our shop. Well, I hope you'll have fun visiting our shop(s) and that even if you aren't able to purchase something at the moment, you'll keep us in mind (and your favorites list) for future gifts for friends or projects for yourself. Until next time.

Happy Stitches to You,

Destash Giveaway

Hi All!


Well, I'm only a day late, sorry about that. I got distracted with getting some more items scanned for the shop. In honor of my dad's 63rd birthday, and in honor of our Destash Sale and Christmas in July (lots of reasons to celebrate I suppose) we will be giving away the following:

We have 1/2 yard of this beautiful green holly fabric from the Merry and Bright line by Sandy Gervais for Moda fabrics. I think this giveaway should run until the end of July, so on Friday, July 31, I will draw a name from the entries. This fabric coordinates very well with a lot of other fabrics in our shop. :-)

Here's how to enter, please leave a comment and tell us about your favorite fabric. You can tell us the designer you love, such as Amy Butler, or if you love everything 30's, or anything by Moda. It's up to you. Don't forget to leave me your e-mail address or at least the address of your blog so I can get in touch with you if you win the drawing! Oh, and of course I'll give you an additional entry if you blog about this giveaway, send anyone over here from your blog, and/or become a follower. I am looking forward to finding out more about all of you.

I'll go first:

I'm Anna and I love Amy Butler, Heather Bailey, anything by Chez Moi (so far) and I do like some soft florals by 3 Sisters. I am also falling in love with 30s such as the Snippets line and I really like the Sweet line. Wow, I guess it's hard to pick a favorite.

Regina (the other Crafty Girl) really likes 30s and the Sweet line and soft florals such as anything by 3 Sisters or Joanna Figueroa (Fig Tree Quilts).

In this way, I think our tastes compliment each other, I like bright and funky, she likes soft floral and 30s but we're expanding our horizons and keeping an open mind.

Alright, enough about us, tell us about you! Happy posting!

Happy Stitches,
The Crafty Girls
