Happy New Year from Main Street Quilting Company





Happy New Year! How is it already 2018? I suppose time really does fly when you are having fun. Must be why I can never remember what day it is... We've been planning a lot of fun classes and events for January and February and even into March. With planning and inventory going on at the store we are excited to see what the beginning of 2018 holds! We will be closed the first two Sundays in January for Inventory (Jan 7 and 14). We will be open again on Sundays Jan 21st.

Leslie McNeil is offering four new classes at our store! We have contracted with Leslie to bring us something new and different in 2018. If you have taken a class with her and need encouragement in finishing- come to her Finish It! session. If you want her help with quilting come to her Quilt It! session. We are also bringing Leslie to our store on March 16-17 to teach us Fabric Painting and Thread Play. Leslie will show us how to paint fabric to get just the perfect background for any project. That class will be in March- See below for exact dates and times. Call us today to reserve your spots in her classes. They always go fast!

We've updated our class schedule and we have new fabrics, kits and patterns for you. Not all pictures are in this email so stop in see us!
