CHRISTMAS IN JULY RECAP

Our Christmas in July event last Thursday night was a lot of FUN! We played multiple games, gave away tons of prizes and gifts, and discovered that many of our customers are shockingly NAUGHTY! If you missed this night with its reveal of several new Christmas collections, then you can come into the store to see the great new Christmas fabrics. Hurry, though, as some of these fabrics are flying out of here faster than Santa's reindeer!
