Open House!

This Saturday, Sept. 14th, there will be an Open House at the new quilt shop in town at  572 New Maryland Highway. Shop owner Jo-Anne opened The Christmas Crab Quiltery earlier this summer and the response so far has been wonderful. This Saturday she will hold an Open House with a "Meet and Greet" from 1-3p.m. This is an opportunity to check out the line-up of upcoming classes, see class samples, meet the teachers and get info on classes, as well as see all the new fabrics and products. (Double punches [ie 20% savings] on your customer rewards cards all day long, with class registration too!) There will be refreshments and a lovely door prize as well - a kit for a quilt - the pattern and all fabrics for top and binding!! Woohoo! Jo-Anne lives more than an hour away and is committed to travelling to Fredericton to make this new endeavor a success so let's show her lots of love and support by turning out to the Open House!
Beginning next week, The Christmas Crab Quiltery will have new business hours: Tuesday to Friday 10a.m. to 6p.m. and Saturday 10a.m. to 3p.m.

Remember we have to support our local shops if we want them to be there for us. As much fun as it is to travel and visit new shops, we need our local shops too! They depend on us to keep them going, so please support them. Country Crafts and Curtains at  334 York Street is our other local source of  quilting fabric and supplies. Both these shops are small, but jam-packed with wonderful fabrics, patterns, threads and all other things "quilt-y". Make these shops your first stop when you need supplies for this wonderful hobby we all enjoy so much...
