Potholderpalooza, Cyber Monday - First Friday

Thanks to everyone who shopped my Virtual Holiday Gallery on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday this weekend. I appreciate the support. I’m busily filling all of your orders and will notify you when they are ready for pick up or shipped early this week.

The winner of the 2020 Covid Christmas Stocking is Janet Irwin. She will be getting a Quilting with Margaret stocking filled with hand sanitizer, wipes, All Washed Up soap (another local small online business), a couple of holiday masks, an RPO “Holiday Celebration” CD, some holiday candy and some tiny bottles of Christmas cheer. She will also be getting her order hand delivered. Congratulations Janet!

This Monday is Cyber Monday, so I have planned another special which will run through First Friday. In celebration, Quilting with Margaret is doing Potholderpalooza, a potholder extravaganza. Select from a massive selection of fun and functional potholders all priced at $9 each this week only (regularly $10). The more you buy, the more you save. The sale runs from Monday (Nov. 30) 8 a.m. until Friday (Dec. 4) at 11 p.m. Use discount code $9POTHOLDERS

Potholders are the perfect holiday gift…who can’t use a fresh, new potholder? The hanging loops are large enough to fit around the neck of a bottle of wine, turning the bottle of wine into a cute hostess gift. Potholders are lightweight and flat, easy to slip in an envelope for mailing with a holiday card. They make great stocking stuffers. You can select the perfect potholder for everyone on your list. Choose from lots of fun themed categories like retro, music, camping, food, pop culture, sports teams and even holidays. There are Rochester related potholders like retro Kodak film and chicken wings. Foodies will love the hotdogs on a grill, lobster or bacon and eggs potholders. There’s even a pot potholder. Like I said, one for everyone. Shop now to see what’s available.

Shop Small, Shop Local, Shop Safe Online

My new online shop is now stocked for the holidays. I will be having some great specials on Thanksgiving weekend for Black Friday (11/27) and Small Business Saturday (11/28).

Look for an invitation on Facebook with special coupon codes for a weekend of discounts. And if you make a purchase Friday or Saturday I am planning a big weekend drawing! Win a handmade holiday stocking filled with everything you need to survive the 2020 Covid Christmas season (more than a $75 value). Check back next week for details or watch for your Invitation.

Thanks for supporting small businesses and shopping local!

This will be a crazy holiday for everyone with lots of new rules. I won’t be open as usual at the studio over the holidays, I’m hoping online shopping can compensate for this. It’s safe, it’s contactless payment and contactless pickup for local shoppers. I also have free shipping for purchases over $75. Help small businesses stay around by shopping local this holiday season.

Just in time for the holidays, new face masks.

More Dr. Fauci, Black Lives Matter, Ew Covid!, David from Schitt’s Creek, Flatten the Curve with Rosie the Riveter and Santa with a mask. Check them out in the new category “Rona Face Masks” and new additions in “Speak Out Face Masks”, “Pop Culture Face Masks” and “Holiday Face Masks.” Also find some great Thanksgiving Day masks like a fun turkey print, autumn leaf and harvest fabrics under the “Seasonal Face Masks” category. All in my online shop.

Stay safe, mask up, and stay home this holiday season, so we can all have more holidays in the future.

Free Shipping - All Orders Over $75

To kick off my new online shop I’m offering free shipping on all orders over $75. It’s not too early to think about holiday shopping. Or treat yourself to something special! Online shopping is safe and easy, and when you shop at Quilting with Margaret you are also supporting a small local business.

If you live in the Rochester, NY area, you also have an option for free pick up. If you choose this option at checkout, you will not be charged any shipping cost regardless of the size of the sale. I will notify you when your order is ready and give you the address for pick up. Then when you text me that you are on your way, I will set your order out on my front porch table for touchless pick up. Easy peasy.

Soon I will be adding some holiday items like quilted Christmas tree skirts and stockings, holiday wall hangings, wine gift bags, Thanksgiving runners and placemats. Also, there are holiday-themed face masks and lots of new potholders. Keep checking back weekly for new items in the online shop.

Masks, Masks, Masks…New Arrivals

Exciting news! All of the new prints I promised just came in. Lots of new RBG prints, a Dr. Fauci print, a couple of “Nasty Woman” prints, a “Will you shut up man?” Biden print and an “I Love NY” print are now available. You can order a handmade mask or potholder in one of these prints, while supplies last. Shop here.

This holiday season, face masks are the perfect gift. Inexpensive and necessary, face masks are a great stuffer. Find the perfect themed face mask for all of your family and friends. What better way to show you care about someone than by giving them a fun mask which will help protect them and others around them. It’s like a virtual hug!

Also new to the shop are replacement elastic ear loops. Over time, the oils in your skin and hair plus repeated washings can cause the elastic to wear out. The ear loops are easy to replace on your favorite mask. Simply snip the old elastic and remove it. Then attach a small safety pin to the new elastic and thread it through the side casing of your mask. You can now adjust the elastic to fit, overlap and sew (or tie in a knot).

Many of you have asked about filters for your masks. Well, I also ordered some PM 2.5 mask filters to slip in the pocket of your mask for added protection. Order a set of six disposable filters in the face mask section of my shop. A filter lasts about a week and makes your mask more comfortable to wear.

Just go to the end of the mask section of the shop to order replacement elastic ear loops and filters for your masks.
