Happy Holidays

If you missed my special open hours for the holidays, you can still schedule a personal shopping hour at the studio before the end of the year. Simply give me a call, send me a text or drop me an email requesting a day and time. I will do my best to accommodate you. Be sure to give me your phone number so I can confirm the day and time or schedule another time if I am not available at the requested time.

Or you can shop safely right here on the website. I can either mail your purchases to you or arrange a pickup time for no charge.

Thanks to everyone who chose to shop local, small and handmade so far this year. I hope everyone has a happy holiday and a great new year.

And speaking of the new year…stay tuned for some exciting BIG news from Quilting with Margaret in 2023!

Join Us in 2023

Join us in 2023 for the 16th annual Get-Away Weekend at Beaver Hollow Conference Center on April 27 -30. Don’t miss this weekend of comradery, crafting and relaxation. Sign up by October 31, 2022 to receive 2 yards of free fabric of your choice.

This is an all inclusive weekend which includes gourmet meals, corporate quality guest rooms, a large and well-equipped workroom all in a relaxing natural woodland setting. Each workstation is spacious and includes a fully adjustable executive office chair for your comfort while creating. The Beaver Hollow grounds include a small lake and numerous hiking trails to enhance your creativity. Every night we have a cash bar set up especially for us with quilt-inspired cocktails. Also, each night there is a bonfire with complementary s’mores.

Our days are spent crafting, quilting and creating through a guided project and by working on individual projects. Lots of sharing and inspiration always happens encouraging a creative environment.

And of course, each year I set up a “small shop” filled with things you might have forgotten, things you “must have,” things that are new at Quilting with Margaret and ideas for a new creative projects.

We have fun extra activities like show and tell, quilt Bingo, a free kit project, giveaways and social activities. It’s a fun weekend for sisters, friends, or even just a self-indulgence. Everyone is welcoming to newcomers and many are excited to see their friends from previous get-away weekends.

Hope you can join us this year. We can all use a little “normal” these days!

Yes, summer is nearly over. Sad, but this means more time to get back to quilting.

To help get your creative juices flowing again, stop by my studio at 1115 East Main Street and check out all of the new fabrics that have come in since last fall.

I will be open extra hours for First Friday, September 2, 2 - 9 p.m. so you have time to take advantage of the Special Labor Day Fabric Sale. All by-the-yard fabrics will be 25% OFF the already low regular prices.

If you can’t make it for the sale, you can still schedule a personal shopping hour. Just give me a call, email me or text me to schedule. I will be open this fall on First Fridays and second Saturdays and anytime by appointment.
