And We Have A Winner!

Our 29th Anniversary Sale was a wonderful success!

The store was buzzing with people all the time and there were certainly some amazing deals to be had.
Best of all was Jan's idea to have a draw for 29 prizes on the 29th!

Kim Gurry of Celista was the winner of the big basket of quilting goodies. 
Kim happened to come in to the store on the Saturday to pick up her basket, and was absolutely thrilled to see how chock-a-bock full it was.


We asked her to take a picture of herself with it and email it to us but then Jill remembered she had her new iPhone with her so was able to take a couple of pictures right then and there. 
(You have to love that technology!)


And, luckier still, it was the 
Block-of-the-Month Saturday and Jan happened to be in the store...

Isn't this a great picture!?!
You would think it was all planned as they are even colour coordinated!

Congratulations to Kim, and to all the other lucky winners.

We are so glad you shared in our anniversary celebrations!
