Quilts of Gratitude 2023 quilt show organized and sponsored by Creative Quilters of Citrus County was held this past month where we showcased the Baby Lock Gallant and Coronet Long Arm quilt machines, Regent stand-up or sit-down Long Arm quilt machine, Allegro sewing machine with the extra large throat space for your special quilts, the stylish Bernina 475 Kaffe Edition sewing machine and the great Bernina 570, both with the Bernina Jumbo Bobbin. We also showcased our custom large and small Clappers, the fantastic Arrow sewing furniture featuring several sewing cabinets, iron/cutting station and the fun sewing themed chairs. We provided 480 tote bags to quilt show attendees as well as some great coupons for future shopping. We thank Creative Quilters of Citrus County for inviting us to be a part of their event. Here are some of pictures of the 110 stunning quilts on display.
During the quilt show on Saturday, the quilts presented to veterans was very touching. To learn about the local veterans and their stories as well as the special sewest that created the beautiful quilts presented, was heartwarming.

For those of you that were not able to participate in the shop hop, here is a picture of our quilt (each shop created a project with the nine various blocks; some were quilts, pillows, table runners, etc.) where you will find our shop block in the center. Our interruptation of Florida Spectacular is (follow the block from the top then moving to the right) You Wake Up To Sunshine, You Can Walk In The Sand, You Can Collect Seashells, When You Go Into The Water, You Can See Coral Reef, Colorful Fish, Manatee, Get Out And Have An Orange - we included the completed Yo-Yo (made by our Team Members) and the cute button.

As you may recall, we now offer Arrow Sewing Furniture including sewing cabinets, cutting tables, storage solutions and fun comfortable chairs. Many of you have received your new furniture and we are starting to receive pictures of your beautiful sewing studios; here are a few to enjoy. If you are interested in learning more about the furniture we offer for your sewing studio needs be sure to stop by or give us a call. The furniture can be shipped anywhere in the United States and you can choose to assemble yourself or have your furniture delivered already assembled (a lot of options for you to choose from),
Even if you think your sewing machine is clean, you just never know what is inside.....be sure to schedule your machine cleaning in our Service Department. This is a machine was in one of our classes that just wasn't sewing right and the customer didn't realize what the problem was.....guess she knows why now.
