I hear that some people are already prepared and ready for the Christmas Holiday! How can they do that so well? How can it be done without last minute rush and jitters? Well, we at Heirlooms & Comforts would like to help you out with your preparations if we can. We are happy to share our suggestions for how to get by without having jitters and tears for lack of preparation. Just ask us when you are in the shop for tips on gifts, stocking stuffers, and miscellaneous items including foods. We always have an opinion; have you noticed? And, we obviously love foods as you can tell by looking at us.

H&C Feature of the Week: Christmas Fabrics
At Heirlooms & Comforts this week we will feature 50% off Christmas motif fabrics (1 yd minimum cut, please). Yeah!! Last minute gifts of tea towels with a holiday print sewn on the hem are fun to make and inexpensive hostess gifts during this season. Also, you can appliqué a cute shape to sweatshirt or an apron or a hand towel. There are many other suggestions we can add when you are in the shop. Just heed this last call for Christmas motif fabrics at 50% off.

The $500 Rebate from Husqvarna Viking when you purchase a Designer Diamond Deluxe is NOW. The offer ends on December 15, 2011. Buy your deLuxe by close of business on Thursday and qualify for a manufacturer rebate of $500. This doesn't happen often and the qualifying machine is super special as well. You get the capability of using the 15-inch square hoop in machine embroidery. There is easy maneuverability of designs on the machine screen as well. This machine is the BEST and the savings are tremendous. Don't let your personal Santa miss this.

Monday Is Final Day to Save $50 off $75!
Until midnight Monday, December 12, you can save $50 off the purchase of $75 of embroidery designs at www.myembroideries.com. Just go on line to that site and choose at least $75 worth of designs. Use the code provided for you when you check out, making sure you have chosen Heirlooms & Comforts as your dealer. Then you save big. Download your designs in the proper format for whatever machine or software you are using. Enjoy stitching!

Retreat Time

The time of year for retreats planned for quilters has rolled around again. I was counting just the other day how many times Heirlooms & Comforts has been to Pieceable Retreat in Winnsboro, SC at White Oak Conference Center - seventeen with a break the year (?) a hurricane preempted us because the center is an evacuation point. That means every time QSC has met for Pieceable Retreat we have been there. And, we are going again this week. The retreat filled instantly this year with more than 315 quilt enthusiasts registered. We will be together for three days and "fun will be had by all", including learning new techniques and stretching our creative personalities. Join Quilters of South Carolina and become eligible for attendance next year - it is a real bargain for membership and the community of interest is uplifting.

Sue and I will be there when everyone arrives on Friday!

H&C Feature of the Week: My Embroideries
At Heirlooms & Comforts this week we will feature the special that is offered through October 20 at www.myembroideries.com. When you purchase $100 worth of embroidery designs from the web site and put in the special code of "50off100" at checkout you will get a $50 savings on the $100 purchase. That, my friend, is one-half price. You choose the designs you want and load your basket with them. Then at checkout you enter the special code (50off100) and select Heirlooms & Comforts as your dealer and you get a great savings. Remember you must choose and buy by the end of the day on October 20.

Closed Saturday
Heirlooms & Comforts will be closed Saturday, October 22, 2011, because of a noon kick-off time at the Clemson home game with North Carolina. Be sure to complete your shopping with us for the week on Friday so that you are not disappointed when you find us not open on Saturday.

H&C Traveling Time
Traveling time for Heirlooms & Comforts means that if you have been eyeing a particular fabric on the sale table waiting for a better discount, your time may run out. On Wednesday morning we will begin loading the trailer with fabrics and quilting supplies to go to the retreats. Most years those fabrics do not come back to the shop, especially the sale fabrics. You have Monday and Tuesday to get that favorite sale fabric before we move down the road with all the sale fabrics. Fair warning.

Deluxe Rebate
Beginning now there is a Manufacturer's Rebate offer of $500 on the purchase of a Designer Diamond Deluxe! That includes trade-ups. Come on in to Heirlooms & Comforts and get the details. We are ready to make the deal.
