Welcome Spring!

Spring is here and the longer daylight hours mean more creative

energy. To keep you inspired this spring, we are working on fresh sam-

ples and have quite a bit of new fabric on the way, including more new

novelties, batiks, and flannels! Other new fabric lines, including Christ-

mas and patriotic collections are also set to arrive this spring.

Just as exciting as new fabric is fabric that is on SALE! Our spe-

cials are posted on our website (www.creativefires.net) each week along

with any new arrivals. If you would like to receive our weekly sales via

e-mail, please sign up on our home page.

Thank you to all who participated in the Heart of Ohio Shop Hop

in February! We hope you enjoyed hopping as much as we enjoyed hav-

ing you! We’re looking forward to our next multi-shop events, our Mega

Sale in May, First Annual Quilter’s Premier June 14 - 15, and the Ohio

One Stop Shop Hop in July!

Enjoy creating with your machine this spring, and when you need

a nudge out of the rainy day blues, stop by the shop for some fresh ideas

and inspiration.

We look forward to seeing you throughout spring!
