⚾️ 🧵 A Little Slugger Is On The Way! 🧵 ⚾️

Kay created this adorable customized Little Slugger quilt for a baby on its way, combining the love of baseball with the warmth of a handmade keepsake.

From the personalized details to every stitch, this quilt is ready to become part of so many sweet memories - and maybe a few ball games too! ⚾️ 💙

Love this quilt? We can create a customized quilt just for you too! Whether it’s for a new baby, a special gift, or your favorite little baseball fan, we’d love to help make it one of a kind!

❤️

Dear Friends,

There are some letters that are easy to write, and then there are those that tug at your heart every time you sit down to put the words on paper. This is one of those letters.

After many wonderful years, we have made the difficult decision to close the doors of our brick-and-mortar quilt shop and begin a new chapter as Kay's Quilt Shop & Roosters Longarm Services—a home-based business serving you online, by appointment and at quilt shows throughout the region.

When we first opened our doors, we dreamed of creating more than a quilt shop. We hoped to create a place where people could gather, laugh, learn, share ideas and inspire one another. Looking back, we realize that dream came true in ways we never imagined.

Our shop has been filled with beautiful fabrics, colorful threads, and countless quilts, but the greatest treasure has always been you.

We've celebrated finished quilts, welcomed beginners into the quilting world, admired each other's creations, solved quilting challenges together and shared stories about family, life and the memories stitched into every quilt. Many of you walked through our doors as customers and left as friends. Those friendships have become one of the greatest blessings of this journey.

Making this decision has not been easy.

Like many seasons in life, there comes a time to embrace change. For us, that means slowing down a little, making more time for our family and enjoying life's quieter moments while still doing what we love most— serving the quilting community that has given us so much.

While our storefront is closing, our story is far from over.

Kay and Scott

If you stop in the shop today, please make sure to wish Scott a very Happy Birthday! 🎁🎂🎈

✂️ Scissor Sharpening at Kays Quilt Shop✂️

UPDATE: Sherry can also sharpen knives!

We’re excited to welcome Simply Sharp to Kays Quilt Shop on Saturday, July 18 from 10 AM to 1 PM!

Bring your scissors in for professional sharpening - no appointment is necessary! Simply sharp will stop accepting scissors at 1 PM but will finish sharpening all scissors that are dropped off before then.

If you met Sherry at our quilt show earlier this year, you already know she does an outstanding job at a very reasonable price. This is a great opportunity to get your fabric scissors, embroidery scissors and other sewing scissors performing like new again.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.✂️🧵
