New, New, New!

About this much time passes after Quilt Market before new items begin to ship into the shop. We got at Heirlooms & Comforts a load of new book titles this past week. The shelves are full of them. There are some really great ideas among these books and there are too many to name them here. So, you need to make a trip in to see what is here. Be inspired like we are to try the new ideas. Additionally, Kathy White has been at it again with making things that look fun. There is a new sample made from a border stripe that was really easy to make and fun to play with in the design process. Ask about it too.

H&C Feature of the Week: Selected Patterns
At Heirlooms & Comforts this week we will feature selected patterns at 50% off original price. There are two large baskets full of these patterns for you to choose from. Among them are patterns for quilts and for clothing. Come in soon for the best choices, of course. Many of these are single copies of the design. Make your choices and let us help you find the right fabrics to sew up.

Carolina Shop Hop
Carolina Shop Hop 2011 starts on July 8 and goes until July 16 with shops taking Sunday off during that time. Look at the Carolina Shop Hop web site for the details including what you must do to be eligible to win the thirteen $100 gift certificates. There are other prizes to be distributed as well. We are commemorating the Civil War with our quilt blocks containing reproduction fabrics from that era of history. We are looking quite different this year without batiks for a change. Be sure to hop on by to get a look.

Independence Day Celebration
At Heirlooms & Comforts we will be closed from Friday, July 1 through Monday, July 4. We will reopen at 10am on Tuesday, July 5. This is another opportunity to show your colors and celebrate our gift of Freedom and Independence won for us by those who preceded us in citizenship. Be grateful; celebrate heartily; eat well; and exercise wisdom in safety.
