It's almost here!!!

Wow!  Can't believe our first Shop Hop is only two days away!  Get ready....it'll be loads of fun! And it appears that the rain will stay away.  Yeah!  The state has decided to re-pave Hwy 71, and....only one side of the street is finished (Note:  Hwy 71 becomes Mechanic Street).  So, if you run into some construction getting here, just persevere.  We are right across the street from the post office, in the Marek Building (look for our beautiful copper canopy).  There is ample parking on the square and side streets, so come on in.  Traveling mercies to all...Be Safe! We're looking forward to seeing you.....

Fat Quarter Thangle Club

I'm so excited to have our chosen Fat Quarter Thangle Club quilt sample, the Orion Star, in the store for you to see!  It's absolutely beautiful!  The colors include bright caribbean blues, purples, celadon and lime greens, and pinks and fuschias.  Made from Hoffman batiks, it will measure 80 X 96 when completed.  And because of the many colors, there are sooo many choices for finishing borders!  The starter kit is $60 and includes over 1/2 of the fabric needed to complete the quilt, plus the pattern and all Thangles necessary.  Then, for the next 3 months at $10/month, you will receive the remainder of the fabric.  Finally, all you will need are your borders!  It's a great way to make a large bed-sized quilt for a very reasonable investment.  And the FUN is free!!!! Ha!

We will also begin the "Aunt Grace Circle of Friends" Block-of-the-Month Program in September.  Wow! This quilt is really something!  It will definitely be a real treasure!  Call us and reserve your spot in the program as interest has been high.

We are really getting geared up for our first SHOP HOP......59 Road Trip!  This will be a great 2-day event...only 3 shops in 2 days.  Very do-able.  And lots of great prizes, door prizes, freebies, a small project, and refreshments!  So plan on a little time for yourself, grab a friend, hop in the car, and "beat the heat" with us!

'Til next time....happy stitching!

Wow!  What a great day we had yesterday!  Such fun!  My sincerest hope is that everyone enjoyed it as much as we did!  Beautiful fabrics found new homes and will be the start of wonderful treasures.  We continue today with the sale, door prizes, gifts, and our Grand Prize drawings.  So, take a few "just for me" minutes and stop in.  You're always welcome at The Cedar Chest!

Yeah....the day has arrived!  We'll start our Grand Opening celebration with a ribbon cutting as we join the El Campo Chamber of Commerce at 9:45am.  Then we open with a bang!  Come on in and enjoy a great sale (15% off ALL yardage and selected fat quarters at 99 cents and $1.50).  We'll have door prizes and registration for some fabulous Grand Prizes.  See you soon!

We are so excited about this weekend!  We are stocked with new patterns, books, and fabrics....so clear some time for yourself, and come in and join the fun!

Wow!  We are busy as bees getting ready for our Grand Opening next weekend, June 18 and 19.  Plans are underway for a sale and there will be a free gift for all adult shoppers.  Door prizes will be given out every half hour and shoppers can register to win one of three great prizes! 

It's hard to believe we've been here over four months.  Seems like we just embarked on this great quilting adventure.  We've already doubled our bolt count and new items continue to come in daily. 

Thanks to all who have been so supportive.  You're terrific!  And be sure to come by.....we love visiting with our old friends and making new......

Check out "Our Calendar" on the website and see the new classes we've added starting the end of May and extending into summer!  Great projects and new techniques.....so plan your summer polishing up on old skills and learning new.  Join in the fun!

Today was the final class for Beginning Sampler Session 1. Their projects turned out so beautifully!  Each was unique....and there were smiling faces all around! Congrats to all on a great start in your quilting journey.
