Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Good-Bye Fall & Hello Winter 2018!

It was a quick fun fall season with lots of great classes. There were many new students learning new techniques.  Lots of changes happening this fall at Country Treasures.
Our business manager, James Adams, is moving from Chester, Vermont to Italy!  We will miss Jim very much and wish him much success in his new endeavors.  Jim became a very talented quilter during his employment here.  No pattern was too difficult.  He thrived on challenges!!
Heather Allen has taken over his position and is doing an excellent job at transitioning over into the office area.  Good luck to Heather in her new roll.
Carolyn will be welcoming her first grandchild into her family in early January.  She has decided to take a break from the classroom for awhile so she can spend some time in her new role of grandmother.  Carolyn will still devote her time to long arming and keeping the shop up to date with new notions, books and patterns.  New rulers from Quilters Select are in stock.  A must have!  These rulers have a unique non-slip coating, easy to read lines for measuring as well as multiple angles.  You never loose your place or have to count backwards.
Sue has been rearranging the store with Laurie.  You can no9w find our Flannel area downstairs in the front room.

SAVE A TREE! If you use email and have an email address, we would like to be able to make this available to you through your email. Please send us an email at sue@vermontquilting.com and we will make the switch.
