Great Spring Day!

In Central, SC, Saturday was a Great Spring Day.  We celebrated the heritage of the Railroad in the town of Central. There were many great activities available for children and adults at the Festival. Quite a large number of people came into Central on Saturday to enjoy the festivities and the live performances of the musicians.  One of the early activities on Saturday was the unveiling of the Quilt Trail quilts in the garden of the History Museum of Central. The Quilt Trail movement originated in Ohio and has spread across the country and in two provinces of Canada. Family or favorite quilt designs are replicated on weatherproof materials and mounted, originally on barns, on various outdoor surfaces to be seen by passersby. At this time 34 of these quilts have been installed in upstate South Carolina. At the History Museum there are three such mountings - one on a garden post and two on a Garden Arbor built by a local woodworking artisan. When you are in Central next, go by the History Museum and walk into the garden to see these beautiful displays of quilt art.  They are truly inspiring.

H&C Feature of the Week: Patriotic Red, White and Blue Fabrics
At Heirlooms & Comforts this week we will feature patriotic red, white and blue fabrics.  We have recently received several bolts of wonderful Quilts of Valor fabrics. For this week we will double-punch your fabric card when you purchase the qualifying dollar value for punching. You will love these fabrics for making your Quilts of Valor or Wounded Warrior Quilts. They are especially good looking fabrics!  So, when you buy $5 worth of these fabrics we will punch your card for $10.  If you don't have a card already, we will see to it that you have one and explain the way the program works.

Get Ready
Mother's Day is coming fast!  Get ready.  You know Mother is deserving of the best and Husqvarna Viking has that for her.  At Heirlooms & Comforts we have two special models that have been classroom models and carry full warranty.  Either the Sapphire 875Q or the Designer Diamond will give the wonderful, efficient use that Mother is hoping for in her next machine.  These are specially priced, but you must come into the shop to get the price quotes since they are lower than we are able to quote in the media. Quantity is limited on these models!  Come in to test sew on one.
