July 2,
2008, Back to work after a
beautiful Canada Day. I decided to try to insert some photos into the
website!! So, these are some shots from
around the shop. I can
see that I have a little more to learn about fitting in
grahpics! You can see that we
have lots of fabric and quilts and kits!! June 23, 2008
Summertime in
Saskatoon is really great! If you come to the city, be sure to come
visit us too. We are happy with the new fabric lines that have
arrived in summery colors, such as the nice flowery Danhui Nai one from
Wilmington Prints, and lots of new batiks. We also have a nice new
Anna Griffin Line, Sierra.
As well, the
Christmas fabrics have begun to arrive. We have a line by Holly
Taylor for moda, and the Kansas Troubles Christmas grouping. As well
there are lots of other Christmas fabrics-- lots of cardinals and
pointsettias..
We have
changed the offer we had on when you buy all the fabric left on a bolt!!
Change is good, especially after 7 years!!! Previously, we offered a
discount of 30% when you bought all the fabric left on a bolt. Now
we are offering 40%!!!! but only on the fourth friday of the month.
Easy to remember -- fourth friday, forty percent... Hope you can
take advantage of this to get some really good deals. You can try it
out this friday-- the 27th of June!!!
Hope to see you then!
Michelle
the Next Periwinkle Quilting Retreat
Weekend! November 14,15
and 16, 2008 — Friday morning through Sunday
pm.
Last November we
held our first retreat at Shekinah timber lodge, just 40 minutes north of
Saskatoon, near Waldheim. It was a great time, and inspiring
to see all the different projects people were working on. If you
have been thinking about a retreat weekend in which we can get away
from the phones, the meal preparation and housework, and most importantly,
spend some extended quality time with other women, quilting, or stitching
or knitting or scrapbooking then this is for you!! All meals are
included, and the room for the 2 nights.
Although we
don’t have any specific classes to offer, I, Michelle will be happy to be
available to demo things, or to troubleshoot or to answer any quilt
related questions.... altho I’m sure there will be many more knowledgeable
quilters there who will have advice if needed. .... as well, we’ll
just have a lot of fun.
We have a
list of people interested in attending, and we'll have to get serious in
September about confirming who is coming (by way of a deposit!), so think
about whether you want to come or not and let us
know.

On this web site, you'll find a sampling of what
we stock at our store. We opened our doors in August

Many of our customers live in small-town and rural Saskatchewan,
and we look forward to seeing them when they're in the city, or even
hearing from them by
phone or email.
