You're invited to a Bead Pary

Quilts 'n Stuff is celebrating 20 years in business. From August 2nd through the 14th we will be having a sale, there will be free stuff, a contest, a guessing game, prizes and a Bead Party!

Above is a small sample of the beads. There will be bracelets, necklaces, earings and lots of loose beads so you can make a quilt with beaded embelishments. Bead for Life is an organization that supports African women who make paper beads out of recycled paper to support themselves and their families. We'll have a dvd showing you about them or you can go to their web site http://www.beadforlife.org and check it out yourself before you come to my shop.

The green beads at the bottom are beads my Mom bought over 20 years ago from a similar organization.

Come and celebrate with us!

New Big Buttons

I am back from vacation. We didn't rest much- my sister planned 2 days of visiting Quilt Shops. All the shops had something to offer. Mary or I bought quilting patterns and fabrics in all the shops. The one that impressed me the most was The Quilted Cottage in Saginaw. Nice bright shop and they have a lot going on.

2nd photo: NEW Dill buttons. the picture is deceiving-they are BIG buttons. Great for quilted purses and totes. The large (2 1/4") are $2.50 and the smaller (1 3/4") are $2.25. There are square and teardrop shape too.

Gotta get back to work-lot's of things to get ready for my 20th Anniversary Celebration starting Aug 2nd thru the 14th.

1st photo: Flowers buttons for $1.00 and that black one to the right has holes so you can run ribbon or beads through ($2.10)

You can order by calling my shop - find more information at http://www.quiltsnstuff.net/.

Cardinal and Scarlet Tanager

These are my "Redbirds"-they are both in the new quilting pattern. I have kits also available for around $18.00(Cardinal or Scarlet Tanager) but you would have to e-mail me to order them. garkens@quiltsnstuff.net Larry is working to get the new patterns on my shopping cart at www.quiltsnstuff.net

I get to go on vacation this week. I'm going to my sisters in Midland and we're going to visit a number of new quilt shops. I'll let you know which ones I liked best.

I will be celebrating my 20th anniversary in business as a quilt designer and as a quilt shop in August. One thing I'm doing to celebrate is having a "Bead for Life" bead party. You can check out their site if you would like beadforlife.org
I will have their beaded jewelry and loose beads at Quilts 'n Stuff by Glenna, August 2nd thru the 14th. Come check my shop out if you are in the area then.
