- It’s a Brand New Year!Building on the successes we’ve achieved during 2016, we have some chores that need to be accom-plished at the outset of 2017. As with any product-based retail business experi-ences, an accurate accounting of available inventory is essential in providing the customer with the best service that is available. Therefore, to start the new year out right, we will be conducting a store-wide inventory assessment and adjustment. The classroom space will be utilized for this activity. To accomplish this Quilt’n Thyme Sew & Vac will be closed January 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, 2017, re-opening on January 5th at our normal business hours, thus allowing our staff to concentrate on this daunting task. Regretfully all classes, club meetings, and events regularly scheduled during these three days will be cancelled. This includes the Monday Night Sew-in, the Embroidery Club meeting scheduled for Tues-day, January 3rd, Deb Portelance’s General Sewing, Pattern Drafting & Alterations class scheduled for Tuesday evening, January 3rd, and the Wednesday Sew-in event scheduled for January 4th. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.
