QUILTS & KREATIONS 2017/2018 WINTER 2017/2018

Dear Friends, It is once again time to dust off those sewing machines. We have a several classes for you to choose from. I’m sure that we have a class that will appeal to each and every one of you. Our staff, Lisa, Susan, Charlotte and myself are dedicated to serving you and helping you reach your fullest potential as a quilter. To kick off the Christmas season we will hold our annual Christmas Open House on Saturday November 18. All in stock merchandise will be 20% off. Select Christmas fabrics will be 30% off. It’s a great time to purchase your supplies for the holiday gifts you will be making. You may also pick up your BERNINA Holiday Booklet at this event. BERNINA is offering several “gift with purchase”. This was a huge success last year, and they are once again repeating the promotion. It is the perfect time to buy a new machine. We will also be selling some of our shop samples at our Christmas Open House, you just may find something that would be perfect for someone on your gift list. It has been an exciting year for BERNINA. They have released several new machines to their line. The 880 Plus has upgraded their embroidery features. The new 5 Series have colored screens, larger bobbins to hold more thread and most of all, a 8 1/2” space from the needle to the machine. Embroidery modules are optional on many of the 5 Series. A modern sewing machine must perform many tasks and be adaptable to the individual needs of it user. BERNINA has many options to fit every sewer’s needs. You will want to stop in and see what BERNINA has to of-fer you. We have several machines that are being closing out at some great prices. Don’t miss the opportunity to buy a BERNINA at a great price. There are so many people in need this holiday season. Quilts & Kreations has always done a “give back program” to our community for the past 25 years. With your help, we have donated to the Toy’s for Tots program, the Veter-ans Home, the battered women’s shelter, the rape crisis center and the local food banks. This year we are asking for your help to keep the homeless warm over the winter. We will be collecting donations for the local homeless shelter, starting November 18 until December 20. We will be collecting warm socks, hats, scarf's, gloves and new blankets. We will also be collecting new and gently used CLEAN coats. Please remember there are also women and children that are homeless, we will also be accepting women and children items. When you bring in items, you will be en-tered into a drawing for a Quilts & Kreations gift certificate. Two gift certificates will be awarded. We thank you in advance for your generous support. The NFL will be holding its Super Bowl game on Sunday February 4. Quilts & Kreations will be celebrating that event by holding our annual Super “Bolt” Sale on Saturday February 3 and Sunday February 4. More information will be sent out via constant contact to your email address prior to our annual Super “Bolt” Sale. I am starting to plan a bus trip to the AQS Quilt Show in De Moines, Iowa that will take place the first week of October 2018. We will also be visiting Missouri Star Quilter in Hamilton, Missouri. This will be a 4 night, 5 day trip. At this time I am just in the planning stage and more information with exact dates and price will follow in our next newsletter. If you are interested, please let us know. I am sure this trip will fill quickly.

Happy Quilting,
