After seven weeks of closed doors I am reopening again this week, back to normal hours. While my hours are normal, unfortunately that is where it will stop with new measures now in place for the foreseeable future.
I now ask the following:
Please use the hand sanitiser upon entering and leaving the shop.
Please observe the limit of 6 people in the shop at one time. If greater than 6 please wait patiently outside until someone exits.
Please be respectful of social distancing as you move around the shop.
Please only enter the shop if you are shopping. Husbands, partners and friends please wait in the car.
Please do not come shopping if you are unwell, even if you think it is only a cold. Curb side pickup remains an option on my website and phone orders with pick up are always welcome.
Please do not be offended with these new measures, they are in place to keep us all safe.
I am excited to be reopening, it will be great to see people again and hear what everyone has been working on. I've been spending time getting displays re organised and quilts hung.
Just some more bundles to tie up and I'm ready to go.
In my last post I mentioned about a Block Of the Month program for Maggie Maguire's Garden. I have spent hours working through the fussy cutting fabrics I have left and what I have in stock to coordinate for each individual hexagon flower. I am feeling very daunted with the task ahead. So many of the fabrics in the quilt have been used up in the starter packs I released with the quilt pattern last year.
Working with a lot of new fabrics, will essentially be making a whole new quilt, and a huge investment in time to present a program I am happy with. I have also been talking to my distributors and some companies are expecting delays with the arrival of new ranges, due to shipping restrictions with Covid19. This could cause problems for the potential program.
Moving forward, I have decided the best option is to offer regular fabric packs. I will have these available soon, they will be listed on the website under Quilt Starter Packs.
