News from Quilter's JEM for the week of 12/9/20
1525 Central Ave NW / East Grand Forks MN 56721 / (218) 399-0159 / www.quiltersjem.comHello Friends!
Hello Friends,
December is passing quickly, and Christmas will be here before we know it! Even though there's no snow on the ground, it's nice to be able to put up Christmas lights in 42 degree temperatures!
The gifting season is here, and we have lots of ideas for your quilty friends, and perhaps some for you to put on your wish list, too! Gift Cards will be on sale next week Monday, December 14-Friday, December 18. Get an extra 10% on your gift card. Example: Purchase a $100 gift card and receive an additional $10 free to total $110.
If you have a young sewist, or not-so-young sewist, we have some great Bernette or Bernina entry-level machines that would make any sewist delighted on Christmas morning. Stop in or call for pricing.
We all know what a nice and welcome gift a stack of 10" squares can be, or maybe a nice big stack of fat quarters! We have some great FQ bundles, including short stacks, or you can make your own selections. Finish that off with a pattern card! We have a lovely selection of patterns that use fat quarters or 10" squares, including these five favorites:
Unusual rulers make great gifts! I think we've all muddled through a project determined we don't need a specialty ruler, only to give in and buy it and then marvel at how much easier the project becomes.
The Hex N More ruler allows you to easily and accurately cut several shapes in various sizes. Jaybird Designs has a number of patterns designed specifically for this ruler. These patterns are clearly written, easy to follow, and include plenty of pictures.
Science Fair is a great one to start with, and it uses FQs!
A pad of foundation piecing papers can get a new project off the ground quickly! Pair one with a collection of FQs, or take a look at the winning combo pictured below, which uses:
a pad of 12" economy block papers, a collection of red and white FQs and a panel from the Primitive Gatherings Redwork Gatherings collection:
Here are some fun ideas for stocking stuffers!!
Sewline ceramic lead marking pencils come in a variety of colors!!
A big box of Wonderclips is a fun and useful gift, and a fresh package
of rotary cutter blades always comes in handy!
And if you just can't decide, our
Gift Certificates
come in any size and are always a welcome gift!
We're starting to take pre-orders for the Quilt Minnesota 2021 fabrics!

We have many exciting programs beginning in January!
