Happy 2019 & Happy Birthday SWD!


 

Note our New Year Holiday Hours ~
We're open tomorrow (Monday, December 31st) at 10:00 a.m. - but will close early at 3:00 p.m. so our staff can celebrate and ring in the New Year!

We're Closed on Tuesday, January 1st and will re-open regular shop hours on Wednesday, January 2nd at 10:00 a.m.


January has always been a special month for SWD. In January 2009 Spring Water Designs was born with a blog, Etsy Shop, and our first pattern publication of Rootin Tootin Cowboy Quilt in Quilt Magazine...so we are actually 10 years old! ...Can you believe it!
Time was spent over the next few years with over 60 quilt magazine and fabric company publications that kept us busy ~ and even one little quilt made it to TV showing up on the Fons & Porter's Television show :) You can read about many of these over on our Blog.
During that time www.springwaterdesigns.com web store was born and we started shipping quilting fabrics and products all over the country, and began vending at local quilt shows. Then in 2012 we became a Handi Quilter Retailer, and had to search for a brick & mortar home for our shop. In 2013 we signed a lease and Bob & I set out to turn the space into a quilt shop. Our doors opened in January 2014 with a soft opening of Spring Water Designs Quilting (making our brick & mortar shop 5 Years old now!), and thanks to the support of our many quilter friends and kindred souls, we've been sharing our love of quilting and needle crafts in our little strip on Gerwig Lane ever since :)

...Whew, just looking back at all that makes me a little tired ~ But it's been a fun ride so far!
We're heading into 2019 with grateful hearts, and the blessings of so many friends that we've made in the quilting world, and goals to continue to move forward into our next ten years!

With that in mind...We're having a whole month of Birthday Sales!

We want to share the fun and give back to all our supportive customers. So starting with this week ~ Wednesday, January 2nd - Wednesday, January 9th All pre-cut Loose Fat Quarters throughout the shop are only $1.00 each! Plus all regularly priced Notions & Books are 25% off
And join us on Saturday afternoon, January 5th for Free Demos on how to use the AccuQuilt GO! Cutters. Learn about the cutters and their features, and how to quickly and accurately cut fabric to save you time and money!
Demos are Free of charge and will be on-going between the hours of 1:30 - 4:00 p.m.


Keep an eye out each week for different sales and Birthday Fun throughout the month!
