What’s New Review
It’s a HAPPY NEW YEAR is a bit of an
understatement! The end of December was a whirlwind
and we finally have our feet back on the ground again.
Wow! It seemed that one day the shop was closing its
doors forever and the next day it had a brand new owner.
That’s just the beginning of this new chapter of Tiger Lily
Quilt Co.
New products are coming in every day. Special
events are planned. Clubs are all set up and awaiting your
arrival. Classes are ready for you to stretch your quilting
knowledge and imagination.
We have so many hopes and dreams for the new
shop and for all of you! Our goal is to fill up Tiger Lily with
happy quilters. Please come in and share YOUR hopes
and dreams for the shop with us, have a cup of tea and sit
and stitch. We truly appreciate you, as customers and
friends. We are listening…….
