3 Dear Friends, As we get ready to publish this newsletter, it is hard to believe that 2014 is almost at an end and the New Year is just around the corner. It has been a very busy year for everyone at The Hobby Horse Quilt Shoppe. As many of you remember, our family and business were greatly affected by the Ice Storm that hit our area just before Christmas last year. As a result our store was closed for 23 days. We all learned some valuable lessons after experiencing this event. This year, The Hobby Horse Quilt Shoppe will not be having a Christmas Sale, but we will be having a January Sale. Please see below for more details. Everyone is always so busy visiting with friends and family over the holidays that many have been disappointed in not being able to visit with us for our Sale. Another change for this Holiday Season, is the fact that The Hobby Horse Quilt Shoppe will be closing for one week ( January 1st through January 9th, 2015). We will be opening our doors for 2015 on January 10th. Planning for the upcoming year is in full swing! Wonderful new classes and demonstrations have been organized right through to the end of April. New fabric lines are booked and we are anxiously awaiting their arrival. Watch for postings on FaceBook and our website for the beautiful collections. On behalf of Alf and the Ladies, I wish all of you a Safe and Happy Holiday Season. Gail January Fabric Sale January 10th until January 31st 20 % off Yard Goods, In-Stock Bundles, Select Kits & Cut Fat-Quarters (.5 m minimum cut)
