Quilt Mercantile (Celeste, TX) June newsletter


SUMMER is here!  If you need to beat the heat with an escape to a fabric store for the day or need a weekend retreat getaway; Come to Celeste.  If you haven't heard, we now have a retreat house available to book for your small group retreat.  This wonderful house holds up to six.  (Will post pictures some time in July.)  Fabric orders are starting to catch up...items due in May are arriving now.  Make sure to take a look at our private Facebook page, "Friends of Quilt Mercantile" at least once a week if it doesn't show up in your Facebook feed.  (Please make sure to join this page.)  We post fabric as it arrives and samples when they are quilted.  Lots of new projects this summer.  We have Kimberbell projects & events, Quiltworx newest pattern release Christmas Cactus kits, Kitty Corn Moda project...pictures are posted on our Facebook page as they arrive.  Want to understand why so many of the fabric lines are behind schedule?  Moda shared this article as a great read about the crazy backlog in the ports-click here

REMEMBER that our store closes annually around the fourth of July and between Christmas and New Years Day.  We are closed June 27th-July 5th this year so make sure to come see us next week if you need some quilting supplies!  As always we are happy to order any notions/supplies for you that we don't have in stock.  Take a look at www.checkerdist.com to find the stock number for items you need and send us an email.  We can hold items, ship them, or bring to one of the two quilt shows where we will have a booth--Dallas/Irving Original Sewing & Quilt Expo August 12th-14th OR Quilt Plano in October.  Make sure to come see us at the shows!!!

Our sewing machine service department has become a very popular new addition to our store.  Deven, Ronnie, Paul, and Jared stay very busy with long arm, serger, embroidery and sewing machine servicing.  Give us a call to book your appointment.  We have been an Elna and Handi Quilter dealer for 12 + years.  We have recently added selling Bernina and Janome machines!  We appreciate your continued support and let us know how we can help you with your sewing, long arm, and piecing needs!
