Hello Everyone,

Yes, we are open at the new shop and it is coming together nicely. We still have things to do but for the most part we are moved in nice and looking like we belong. Hubby did a fantastic job building and remodeling in such a short time for all of us quilters. We all owe him a huge Thank You. She (the shop) looks incredible, way better than I ever imagined. One day he was so tired he said, Babe that cancer didn't kill me but I think your trying to, lol. He loved doing the build out, that stuff is right up his alley. Come in and check up out. We are working on a Grand Opening get together probably April 21st and 22nd.

Facebook - Make sure you all LIKE us on the correct Facebook Page. It's the one with the 9901 Indiana Ave #104 address, the one with our Goofy little butterfly logo. It is www.facebook.com/quilterscocoon - We will send coupon's at times only announced on Facebook. There are photos of the shop and of upcoming classes. So be sure to like us on Facebook please!

Handi Quilter Long Arm Rental Program - This is fantastic, customers are loving it. Come in and get your drivers license during the 4 hour class with Kristin. You bring in one of your own quilts that you want to quilt during your class. You will learn everything you need to know to be able to come back and rent the machine by the hour to quilt all your quilts as well as family and friends if you desire to do so. Email Kristin at mail2@quilterscocoon.com

Guild discounts - We do everything we can to keep our prices as low as possible. We also want to be fair to all of our non guild customers. We DO NOT add 10% to 30% to our merchandise to allot for discounts like a lot of other shops do. With that being said we are no longer offering guild discounts. I'm not one to toot our horn but I would like to remind guilds what we do for them because we have had many say they will no longer shop with us. We do have lower prices than many shops, we offer FREE sewing space 3 days a week, faithfully guilds are in every month to pick up door prizes (never do we get a thank you) I have a very long list from guilds, retreats and organizations waiting for donations. We pay to advertise in your news letters and when given the opportunity we vend at your shows. We also donate to the gift baskets at the shows. We donate machine quilting services for charity quilts. We participate in many charity events and programs. So much that come tax time we are only able to write off about 30%. We are a small business trying to stay in business, we hope you understand and hope you continue to do business with our shop. We will continue to provide the lowest prices as possible to all of our customers.

Check our website we've added some new classes, a darling umbrella, BOM, Tale of First Ladies, Pictogram Block Party, Heritage Quilt, Bag and Quilt that's really cute and a great gift. We are trying to do better about updating the website for classes.

We have many new fabrics, books and patterns that have arrived,

Once again it's way past my bed time, I have the last meeting before the BIG quilt run in June early tomorrow in Orange County. The runs going to be fun, It's a Mystery....... this year. Good night! (Morning)
