We've been getting great, positive feedback about our move to Acton Woods Plaza, so we thought we'd wet your palette a bit more.

Below is a photo of Acton Woods Plaza, noting our new location.

Our classroom space will be larger AND expandable. This means more opportunities for our community, including inviting guest teachers from out-of-town to come for lectures, trunk shows, and classes. Stay tuned, because we'll be announcing our first guest teachers soon. They are quilters you won't want to miss!

We'll also be introducing a longarm rental program, complete with a certification process where you can learn to quilt your own quilts on a longarm! The store will feature a Gammill 30" longarm, as well as the Statler Stitcher (see an example below)--the computer-operated quilter. Further details about certification classes and rental will be posted shortly on the website. Having the Gammill (she's going to need a name! Interchanging Gammill, longarm, and Gammill Longarm is getting boring!) will open so many possibilities for the quilters in our community. You may have thought you'd never get the opportunity to quilt your own quilts on a longarm, since you'd never have the funds or the space for your own. We can't wait to see all of the beautiful quilts that are finished in our new space!

We're also looking forward to the new friends we'll make at the shops in the plaza. So many possibilities all the way around!

The last week was dark and gloomy with lots of rain. It's times like these where a working in a quilt shop is quite a joy--there is no lack of color surrounding you! In the middle of all that grey and rain, we pulled out some past Batik Club packages and spread them out for a full color fix.

Each fan consists of 10 fat quarters that you could be receiving on a monthly basis! This club is ideal for all of our batik lovers who want to increase their stash (and let's be honest, who doesn't?!).

Wondering what you could do with your Batik Club collections? See the quilt below, which was made by Mary. The only fabric she purchased outside of Batik Club was the brown. Isn't it fabulous?

Some of you may have noticed that we have expanded the sale area at the shop. This is because we've been preparing for a big announcement--we're moving!

We are so excited to announce that after ten years at our current home in West Concord, we're moving. We've loved our corner spot, right across from the train (and Teacakes!), but we've outgrown it. It's time to move so we can offer our customers more fabric, services, classes, and space. While we'll be moving our location and updating our look, though, don't worry; we'll still be the friendly, helpful Quilter's Way you've come to know and trust. And the best part? We'll have free parking!

We are moving the the Acton Woods Plaza at the corner of Rt. 2A and Rt. 27 in Acton, MA. We will be two doors down from The Woolpack, so you can consolidate all of your crafty shopping in one great swoop. Our exact move date is still to be determined, as the landlord has to do a build-out in the space. But, as soon as we have a date, we will let you know.

You will also want to stay tuned for information on sales as we prepare for the move. It'll be time to clean shop, so we can make room for more great stuff (and have to move less!). Check the blog, Facebook, and your email newsletters frequently to be sure you have the most up-to-date information on what is happening.

We hope you are excited about this opportunity as we are. It has been hard to contain ourselves since we finalized the details.

Our moving sale will start tomorrow, Wednesday, May 2, 2012. Select fabric will be discounted from 10-50% off. It's going to rain all week, so come on in and help us clean shop!
