Where All Threads Lead To Paradise!

What's Going On at Village Fabrics & Crafts:

Updated 1/28/10

Congratulations to Vicki of Newberry. She won the Village Fabrics & Crafts $100.00 shopping spree given away at the anniversary celebration.

Congratulations also goes to Carol of Seney. When she popped her balloon, it revealed a 50% off coupon. Her purchases for the day were ½ price!

*On to February; can you believe it will be here on Monday! Did you know that February is National Embroidery Month? Also snack food month and bird feeding month. Sounds good to us. Find a comfy chair at the window by the bird feeder, embroider and eat snack food. We know chocolate, chips, cookies all come to mind, but you can snack on fruits, nuts, veggies and other healthy goodies, too. Don’t forget machine embroidery as well.

*Speaking of chocolate; on Feb. 9, Hershey chocolate was founded. How about a new project in browns, pinks and turquoise to celebrate. There are delicious colors of fabrics and yarns to tempt you. (And you thought I was going to say eat chocolate!)

*Fat Quarter Frenzy will be held on Fri. Feb. 12, Sat. Feb. 13 and Sun. Feb. 14. For these three days only, regular cotton fat quarters are just $1.00 each with a minimum purchase of 25 and there’s no limit!

*Of course, Valentine’s Day is Sun. Feb. 14. Tell your sweetie that you would love a shopping trip to Village Fabrics & Crafts; we‘re open on Sundays. Take advantage of Fat Quarter Frenzy and to sew them up, a new Bernina or Baby Lock sewing machine would be wonderful!

*Wednesday, February 17 is Random Acts of Kindness Day. We are devoting the day to making quilts for the Whitefish Township EMS. No quilting experience is required for you to help with this great cause and there will be a potluck lunch, too! As of today, 277 quilts have been donated since the beginning of the project. Wouldn’t it be great to make it 300 on Feb. 17! We have lots of tops ready to go. Help is needed to tie the quilts and the great news is that there is no quilting experience required for this step of the quilt making! Come join the fun and help us make that 300 mark!

*Finally, Saturday, February 27 is “No Brainer Day”. We’ve found the perfect “no brainer” quilt technique for making pineapple blocks. You are going to be amazed at how incredibly easy this technique is and the blocks are all sewn using only squares - no triangles and no waste of fabric!

“Stashbusters”

“Stashbusters” is held on the second Saturday and the last Wednesday of each month. This is a FREE day for you to come and stitch on whatever you choose. Starting at 10 am, have fun turning your “stash” into a treasure chest of completed projects. “Stashbusters” isn’t only for sewing projects but knitting, crocheting, counted cross stitch, embroidery and more. It’s perfectly OK to start new projects, too!

It’s your day to have fun, relax and stitch uninterrupted!

If you don’t have a sewing machine or can’t bring yours, ours are available for use on a first come, first serve basis. There are a limited number of sewing machines, so please call ahead to reserve one.

Come for the day or as long as your schedule permits. We have coffee, tea, and there’s a fridge and microwave if you would like to bring your lunch, or you can go out or order in. It’s your day and it’s FREE!

Bernina and Baby Lock Sewing Machine Sales and Service

A new Bernina sewing machine is the perfect gift for yourself or someone special. Come on in to try one. Nothing sews like a Bernina. Nothing. A Bernina sewing machine just can’t be beat for stitch quality, reliability, ease of use and perfect performance. When you purchase your Bernina from Village Fabrics & Crafts, we will take the time to be sure that you know how to operate your machine. We also service most makes and models of sewing machines and sergers.

Professional scissor sharpening available. Pinking shears included!

Yarn ball winding service - Save time, let us do the winding and you have more time for knitting or crocheting.

We do special orders! If you don’t see it, be sure to ask. We fill many requests.

While we do not have a secure web site for ordering, we accept and ship lots of phone orders.
