5TH SATURDAY

OCTOBER HAS A 5th Saturday!

Bring in your new Cortez Quilt Company Tote & you will receive 40% (shh... don't tell Todd) off anything you can fit into it!

However, we are going to enjoy the 40% benefit on Friday, Saturday, & Monday!
(October 28, 29 & 31!)

What in the world is special about a fifth Saturday?

We are revamping our loyalty program with new cards and new discounts.  Plus, customers who qualify will be given a reusable Cortez Quilt Company bag that they can enjoy all year!

Bring the tote to every 5th Saturday throughout the year and receive a percentage off of everything you can stuff in the bag!

Have you recently filled up your loyalty card, and we neglected to give you your red Cortez Quilt Company Bag? Just come on in and we will give it to you... we want everyone to have our bag to tote around town!

We invite you to bring your bag with you each time you come in so that we can reduce the amount of plastic usage.

TIE ONE ON DAY

This Thanksgiving Eve, Tie One On (an apron of course!) and bring joy to the life of someone that is in need, or feeling out of sorts. Participation is easy and uplifting:
   * Simply wrap a loaf of bread or baked good in an
      apron
    * Tuck an encouraging note or prayer into the
       pocket
    * Present your offering to a neighbor, friend or
      person in your community who could benefit from
      your gesture of kindness. (Please provide us with
      people who you feel should receive an arpon)
    * Tie One On - and put the "give" back into
       Thanksgiving.

Tie One On Day™ is a win-win, for the participant and the receiver. And by embracing TOODay, you will make someone else’s day brighter.
“Women clad in aprons have traditionally prepared the Thanksgiving meal, and it is within our historical linkage to share our bounty.” ~EllynAnne Geisel


Giving Thanks With Aprons - Celebrating Acts of KindnessCQC participated in the Tie One On project in 2018 & 2019, and what a wonderful endeavor it was both years!

What we need is homemade aprons (and right before Thanksgiving baked goods).
The more aprons we gather, the more people we can bring a dose of cheer to!

Please join us on Wednesdays (except the 3rd Wednesday of the month) on our
Open Sewing Days ~ Happy Stitcher's Club to work on aprons together.

Additionally, we challenged Quilted Corners' to see who could come up with the most aprons. Whichever store wins will have major bragging rights, along with a pizza party!

Hey Quilted Corners, we are catching up!

Silver Embroidery Leather adds metallic shine to the mixer and pie tins, while Flexi Foam gives puffy dimension to dollops of cream!
