Okay, I have a confession ...I went a little crazy
this Spring buying fabric. After the winter we had,
I just could not resist. Consequently, the shop is
jam packed with some of the most beautiful fabrics
we have ever seen. Autumn (you all know how
much we love Autumn at MRQ!), Christmas and
lots of bright, bold fabrics are gracing our shelves.
Our sample makers are busy making some
gorgeous quilts to inspire you. So take a break
from the heat and stop in this summer and check
Mark your calendars …
it out. There is definitely something for
everyone!
Fabulous Fall
