Some of you let us know the newsletter didn’t reach your inbox — thank you for the heads-up! There was a little hiccup in delivery, so if you’re seeing this twice, we appreciate your patience. We just didn’t want anyone to miss the news. The quilt in the photo is off at the quilter’s, and after a delightful (and very productive!) retreat, I’m feeling refreshed and ready to jump straight into the holiday rush. We’ll be stitching bindings and cutting kits before you know it. There’s something magical about this time of year — the evenings get cozier, and suddenly hand-stitching by the fire (or at least under a really good lamp) feels just right. I hope you’ve got a few holiday projects keeping your needle busy and your heart full. And if not, you know where to find us — inspiration is stacked floor to ceiling around here. If you’re making gifts this year, don’t overlook the classics: pot holders and bowl cozies are quick, cheerful, and universally loved. As Thanksgiving approaches, I’m wishing you good food, warm company, and a few quiet moments to be grateful… preferably while sneaking in a couple of stitches. Our 12 Days of Christmas list is going out early this year so you can mark your calendars — and yes, gift certificates make perfect presents for your favorite quilter (or yourself… we fully support “from me, to me” gifting). You’ll also find our holiday hours listed below. And while I’m not singing with the Oriana Chorale this season, I’ll still be cheering them on — their music is such a beautiful way to welcome December. Finally, thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate 15 wonderful years! Your friendship, laughter, and creativity mean the world to us. Here’s to our 16th year — and the next fabric adventure we’ll take together. We hope to see you soon!

HOLIDAY HOURSIt’s that time of year when our shop hours do a little shifting to make room for holiday cheer. Here’s a quick look at when we’ll be open so you can plan your visits.

WHAT'S NEW AND HAPPENINGWe try to keep up with social media, but when threads are flying and the shop is bustling, the newsletter sometimes gets the news first. So think of this space as your cozy insider update — the latest arrivals and all the fun we’re stitching up behind the scenes. If you’d like to follow along between newsletters, you’ll find us here: And don’t forget to tag us and use #familythreadsquiltshop — seeing what you’re creating is truly one of the best parts of our job. Until next time, keep calm and stitch on!

Then, bring your completed block(s) to the next session for a fun show-and-tell with fellow quilters! Looking for some extra sewing time? Consider joining our Finish-It-Friday monthly events for a little additional motivation. Let’s block out some time to quilt!
