Can you believe it?  This year has gone by in a whirlwind!  I want to thank everyone that supported us over the past year.  We have trained over 100 people to use the wonderful APQS Millennium Quilting Systems, hosted national and international teachers, had many special industry and charity events, hosted the Central Florida Longarm Guild and expanded to one of the largest selections of wide back fabrics in Florida.

Saturday, November 5, 2011 from 8am to 4pm is the big anniversary sale!  Join us for the celebration!
