Dear friends and fellow quilters,

For some time I have been trying to figure out how The Joyful Quilter could offer you even more quilting experiences; more classes, longer store hours, more clubs, BOMs and of course, more fun!  I quickly realized that if all my plans were to come true, Linda, Debbie and I would need extra help. What I found was so much more!

Starting on January 11, The Joyful Quilter will merge with Woodstock Quilt Supply. Bob Silverman and Jim Helms, Woodstock’s current owners, will become partners in The Joyful Quilter. Jim and Bob bring an incredible amount of energy and talent to their new positions within the organization. They are best known for their quilt camps and classes, patterns and unique kits, as well as their beautiful booth when vending at quilt shows. All this will continue, as well as a new and exciting web store.

We are all excited about the possibilities that this merger will bring for us as individuals, for our business, and especially for our customers. Please stop by The Joyful Quilter soon, located on 19 Glenridge Road, Glenville, NY to welcome Bob and Jim and check out what’s new in the store. Linda, Debbie and I will be there too to answer questions you may have.

Come join the celebration! 2010 is going to be awesome!

Thank you,

Susan Pettengill

Owner, The Joyful Quilter
