LQS Closing in Martinez CA

Local quilt store closing. I hate to see announcements like this go out. Before long it will be either the internet stores or Joann's, Beverly's or the like that we will have to shop at. I shop at Beverly's on a regular basis, but I love to go to local quilt stores. They know your name, they have intimate classes, they do the research to know what their customers want. We need to support them through difficult times. 

Final Day September 28, 2011

To all of my customers I want to say thank you so very much for 6-1/2 great fun years. To those of you who survived our Labor Day Monday sale, my hat is off to you and if you would like, we have buttons available
here at the store that say "I survived Susie's sale 9/5/11". Come on by and pick one up.

Our final day that we will be open is Wednesday, September 28th 9:30-5:30.

We need the next two days to clean up and clear out of here.

There is still a good amount of fabric available, books and patterns.

Everything is 50% off, and Paul says he has NO ROOM in his GARAGE, so I would like for everything to go.

I will miss you all and will send an email out as soon as I get the long arm set up at the house and start quilting and whatevery else God has in store for me. Again, thank you all for the pleasure of serving you and getting to know you. I also so appreciate all of you that let me see your finished projects.

That has been such a joy.

Regards,

Bless you all, and again Thank you,

Susie

To Susie, I do not know more than what you have written above, but I know you will find that now you will have time to work on the projects you have not been able to tackle while you had the store. I wish you well.

Keep on Quilting!

Closing

Wow! What a week we just had. I have been pleased to see so many people enter the store this past week. We have been blessed with all the well wishes we have had. Thank you, one and all. Just to answer the many questions that have been placed before us:
- I will be learning how to do long arm quilting and eventually taking on quilting other peoples quilts.
- I plan on staying involved in the quilt world and perhaps even have an activity or two to do as the next few months come forward. But nothing will happen through me until after December.
- Gil and I plan to travel soon--if no where else than to Eagle, Idaho to see my Mom (depending on the weather, Mom).
- We do not know our last day will be. It will be when we sell all our product down.
- We will maintain 35% off while sales are up. Then we will increase it to 40% off. Watch here.

Come in to see us this week. We have lowered all prices to 35% off (except pre-made quilts). You will be able to get those backings, patterns, books and great material at a great price. Bring in your UFOs to match up.

Know that we have loved what we are doing. The economy is doing small businesses in. Had we been open a few years, we might have weathered this downturn. It was fun while it lasted.

See you soon.
