Last blog post for the year 2015~

Don't forget to check the Moda Sampler Block Shuffle page for your free copies of block patterns ... three every week! I'll post my samples as I complete each block, here and at Facebook.

Closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day ... New Year's Eve after five, and New Year's Day. 

HOWEVER ...

We're OPEN FOR FOUR MORE DAYS IN 2015 ~

Wednesday. 12/23 11 - 7;

Saturday 12/26 11-7, ;

Wednesday 12/30 11-7;

Thursday 12/31, 11-5.

And then we're closed 'til March 1st, 2016.

But when we are home, we will always open for friends and family and customers in need of fabrics,etc. You can always call us at

 978 352 2676. 

We'll be in and out through January and February, visiting folks.

We're saving on heating costs, but if you're up for a chilly visit, you're welcome to call ahead! heart emoticon Bundle up~

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!


Our Twelve Days of shopping/shipping before Christmas Week has ended.  Thank you for following our offers. You may see a similar offer in the future, so stay tuned to our blog. We now return to our semi-monthly newsletters.

Daily Deal # 12: Friday December 18, 2015

Daily Deal 12: All items on the website, 20% off! And the same goes for purchases in our shop!
Yes, you read that right - all items, in any amount, are 20% off on Friday AND ON SATURDAY, December 18th and 19th, 2015.  We wanted to give you an opportunity to select any items that you may have missed during our Twelve Days of Daily Deals. We will do our best to get them into the mail by Monday December 21st ... so that you and yours can have a happy delivery before next weekend!

This offer will expire at midnight Eastern Standard Time on Saturday; web store orders placed by midnight  will have the 20% of your purchase REFUNDED to your charge card VIA PAYPAL as soon as the order is filled. There will be no tax added for out-of-state orders, and shipping differences(which result because shipping cost is always a 'best guestimate") will be refunded if the estimate is more than a dollar over the actual shipping cost at the post office. Orders will be shipped within two business days, and will normally go parcel post or first class, depending on weight.

 We've enjoyed selecting items for each of these twelve days of shopping and shipping before the week of Christmas, 2015, and are now happy to let YOU do the choosing! 

Our blog updates will now return to their weekly or bi-weekly schedule.

Important Scheduling news: 

We'll be 'closed' for the months of January and February in anticipation of very cold weather ~ it doesn't make sense to keep the shop heated during that time. But we will try to open by appointment to meet your fabric, thread and notion needs through those months. Just call us at 978-352-2676 (yes, it rings in the house, too.) If we're off galivanting we'll answer your call when we return, so please leave your number ... there is no caller id here to record it.

And some EXCITING NEWS:

Quilters' Quarters and five other small quilt shops will be banding together in the fall of 2016 to host our own regional SHOP HOP -  we're calling it our "Humble Beginnings Adventure!"  From Salem NH through Georgetown and Tewskbury, then Acton, Franklin and Bellingham MA, during the first days ofAutumn Foliage on September 30 through October 2 ... we'll be ready to meet and greet all of you at all six shops, with gifts and prizes and quilt block kits and more! Please visit and like our Facebook Page for Humble Beginnings Adventure 2016.  There, you'll find a link to our website and information on how and when to sign up for this new quilters' adventure! 

Remember to check the Moda Sampler Block page every Saturday, as we will keep that page updated each week with three new patterns~ and I'll keep posting my sample examples of each. 

 Rick and I, (and Helen and Henry, of course) wish all of you a very Merry Christmas! We'll be closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. 

We'll be opening, after our winter hibernation, the first week of March, 2016. But remember, you can call or email to schedule a visit to the shops during the winter... Bundle UP!

12 Online Shopping Days 'til Christmas with Quilters' Quarters

Many out of state (and some out of country) quilters found Quilters' Quarters online web store through the Row by Row advertising, and we appreciate their distance shopping with us!

As we're having special sales in our shop for the month of December, we decided we ought to offer specials to our online customers as well. Here's the plan:

There are twelve online shopping days before Christmas week, and so Quilters' Quarters will be offering a special for each of those days:
Monday 12/7 through Friday 12/18, a different deal will be posted each day at the webstore: http://www.terrycrawfordpalardy.com/apps/webstore/

The deal of the day will also be advertised on our Facebook page to remind people to check the website.

Our first "QQ Day 1 of Christmas Shopping" will be Monday December 7th, and the website will offer, in honor of Pearl Harbor Day, a 20% discount on all red, white and blue fabrics in the shop and on the webstore page.  We operate on Eastern Standard Time, and so web store orders placed by midnight our time will have the 20% of your purchase REFUNDED to your charge card VIA PAYPAL as soon as the order is filled. There will be no tax added for out of state orders, and shipping differences, which result because shipping cost is always a 'best guestimate" will be refunded if the estimate is more than a dollar over the actual shipping cost at the post office. Orders will be shipped within two business days, and will normally go parcel post or first class, depending on weight.

Watch our Quilters' Quarters Facebook Page for the reminders, or go directly each day to the webstore at Terry Crawford Palardy.com to find the special offer of the day.

Thank you for being our customer at Quilters' Quarters and Wooden Toy and Gift, 59 North Street (just 2 doors north of Perley School) in Georgetown, Massachusetts, and/or online at www.TerryCrawfordPalardy.com.

Exciting Arrivals at Quilters' Quarters!

November has been very kind to Quilters' Quarters here in the northeast corner of Massachusetts. Weather has consistently stayed above 60 degrees every day and most evenings. The leaves are falling and are dry enough to rake easily, but until we do move them, they provide a beautiful ground cover (especially the leaves of our 'most beautiful tree,' the red Japanese Maple out front.)

Inside the shop, we've been receiving shipments of wonderful fabrics from Moda, Quilting Treasures, Elizabeth Studios; we've had new notions arriving, including 60 degree triangles for beautiful holiday table runners, rotary cutters and replacement blades and ergonomically-comfortable seam rippers (because yes, we are human and do need to "Frog" now and then ~ rip it, rip it, rip it...)

And most exciting, we're receiving three free Moda Sampler Shuffle block patterns every week from the folks at Moda Fabric ~ with their permission to share these patterns with customers each week, here at the blog in digital form, and also at our shop already printed out for you! I've been working on them day by day, and so I have completed sample blocks for the first six blocks, shown here.

For those who haven't followed us on Facebook, you will want to visit our new blog page here that shares the blocks week by week with our followers. You can download them and print them out, or come by the shop and pick them up... If you are at a distance and would like to receive printed copies in the mail, just send me a self-addressed, stamped, letter size envelope and I'll be happy to mail them to you. Our mail address is 59 North Street, Georgetown, MA 01833.  Mention that you've been here at the blog in you note, so that I know you are seeing all that we have to offer.

Veteran's Day is this week; please be sure to thank a veteran  for your freedom and safety here as an American. We are working on our third and fourth quilts and plan to present one soon to  one of our local heroes. You can visit our Quilts of Valor page here at the blog to see more of what we've done in our small group. And you might want to visit Rick's newest Facebook page featuring his Plaques Honoring American Heroes. His work is beautiful and quite affordable!

Our Friday and Saturday workshops will be focusing on the different skills and strategies helpful to completing the Moda Sampler Shuffle blocks; don't miss out! We're going to address blocks one, two and three this week, and four five and six next week. Each block takes very little fabric, most often cut in pieces smaller than three inches square. We have plenty of scraps to share here in the shop!

Happy November!

I have some exciting news to offer you: Quilters' Quarters now sells Moda Fabrics, and because we have invested in that company's product, we can offer you special events run by Moda, like the Sampler Block Shuffle that will begin this week!

Each week, registered, participating shops can download a free block pattern from Moda. I'll be doing that on Friday evenings, and posting the free pattern here on the blog (I'll add a new page just for these patterns.) I'll also be in the shop on Friday evenings to answer any questions that you might have from the previous week's pattern, during our free Sit 'n Sew sessions.

I'm looking forward to this ... Moda and United Notions are considering this a "Block of the Week" event (BOW, which, they suggest, is very appropriate for the holiday season!)

Watch for the new page, and the first BOW free pattern, to appear here at the blog by next weekend. I'll post a reminder at our Facebook page as soon as the new blog page is ready, and there will be more details available for you then.

If you are on Facebook and haven't visited our page there, I invite you to do so, as often I post special offers there in between my semi-monthly blog updates.

I'm very eager to see how this new BOW Sampler Block Shuffle works out! Please join me in the adventure ... I'm expecting that we can all use our own stash for these blocks, but I will have some fabrics set aside for a discount for people who are following this event and might want to use them.

Remember, you can always click on images to enlarge for better detail viewing:

Oh - and don't forget, please, to replace the batteries in your smoke and carbon dioxide detectors ... it's a good thing to do every fall and spring when we change the clocks for Daylight Saving Time! So says the daughter, wife, and mother of firefighters!

The Row by Row™ Hibernation period has now ended, and all patterns for the 2015 Theme, H2O, can be sold in shops and online ... Please don't hesitate to ask. My pattern for the Windows on the Water row will sell for $2.00, and the complete fabric kit for one row is still $9.00 (pattern included free with kit.) Remember, I also have kits for the Timeless Treasures Tote available with their free pattern as well. And, of course, there are the Post Cards ... which I will write about in the next blog update, in November.

OOPS - Quick update! More new fabric arrived at Quilters' Quarters!

Just a quick update to showcase the new fabrics that arrived yesterday just after I'd posted to the blog: The Minions have arrived, along with the long-lost bolt of Mimosa Blossoms! Remember, you can click on each photo to enlarge for details.

Minion Panel measures a full 36" x 44",
though only the top is shown in this photo. Come
in to the shop to see the rest!

I waited several months for this beautiful
Mimosa Blossoms' bolt to arrive,
completing my order of the blending
10" squares and foliage bolt.

This line is from Quilting Treasures, and
it truly feels as wonderful as it looks!
And yes, we do still have
"HAPPY QUILTER" T-shirts,
in sizes S,M,L,XL. and XXL

Beautiful Foliage, Beautiful Fabrics, and Time for Quilts!

If you scroll down to this month's earlier post, you'll see some of the fall fabrics we have in stock ~ wonderful, quilt-quality fabrics that will bring the outdoor beauty into your hands and into your home. Here are more that capture the seasons colors, designed by our local (Newburyport) artist Elizabeth Golz Rush for Northcutt Fabrics:

When I get a deal, you get a deal. These gorgeous
quilt-quality fabrics normally sell for $12/yd, but
I can offer them, courtesy of the artist, for
$6/yd ... Half!

We also have some vintage sewing machine fabrics that are fun to work with and can be used not only to cover beds, but to cover your treasured sewing machines. I'm beginning to post those fabrics at the web store for our distance-customers ... and have had one inquiry from the Netherlands!

I'm starting my niece's ballerina quilt, using the many fabrics of her costumes through her childhood years of lessons. This will be another learning curve for me, similar to the months that I worked on a friends' silk tie lap quilt. But this one will be bed size, and will involve more fabrics than silk and cotton alone; I'll be working with some different weights and different fusible materials, finding my way through the challenge by reminding myself that we quilters are often our own most severe critics, and that often what we see as problematic is not seen at all by the recipient of the quilt.  There will be mistakes, and as one friend would advise "iron the problem away," and another will say "quilt it out, quilt it over." I'll do my best with these fabrics and make what will optimistically be received as a nostalgic memory quilt. You can monitor my progress on this one by clicking on  this link to Terry's 2015 quilt journal.

Shannon, the original Cuddle Fabric
$15.50 at Quilters' Quarters

We have the coveted Shannon Fabric, "Cuddle," in various colors and textures, but no one has attempted to work with them yet. If they remain on the shelf into the winter, I may send them back to the makers, as this is an introductory offer for first time buyer-shops. There are less expensive forms of Cuddle made by other manufacturers that are bought in larger quantities at lower prices, and it may be that my shop is too small to sustain such a quality collection competitively. My price is $15.50 for the 54" wide yard. I have lower overhead than other small shops, but cannot buy in the quantity of larger shops and so have the lowest price I can offer for this luxury fabric. 

We also have a full rainbow of colors

in the popular "Moda" marble swirl pattern. These fabrics were requested by name by a few customers this summer. They are also 100% cotton, quilt quality, 44" in width, and feel wonderful to the hand. Moda cannot be purchased in small quantities; new shops purchasing have to invest nearly a thousand dollars to stock this fabric, so we bit the bullet on this one, too, anticipating that quilters will recognize the quality and beauty in these bolts. Moda sells for $11.00/yd.

We've also acquired some sample panels of Dr. Seuss fabrics that would be wonderful children's quilts or classroom designs ... Some have coordinating fabric samples attached as well.

All are 100% quilt quality cotton, and all will bring a smile to your face! Teachers, don't miss these deals, and remember to ask for your professional discount! Each panel set is priced at $7.00 to $8.00.

More panels

Now,we are almost two months from Christmas, and would love to see you and your friends in our shop. After the holidays, Rick and I will be closing the shop down for the bitter winter weather in January and February, as heating the space is a challenge in this new century's changing weather patterns. (Nine feet of snow last winter kept customers away, no doubt busily clearing their own driveways... I hear the

Farmer's Almanac is threatening as bad or worse this year~) But we will be reopening in March, with Spring and Summer collections in stock.

Our quilting lessons will continue through those cold months, but will take place in the house, by the warmth of the woodstove and the healthy air surrounding the greenhouse geraniums. And customers who need a piece of fabric or a spool of thread or such can always phone us to open by appointment. After all, we opened this fabric and quilt shop to provide a local spot for needleworkers shopping for supplies. 

'Til then, we're here, 11 to 7 on Wednesdays through Saturdays, and are open 'til 9 pm for Free Friday Sit'n Sew with our people-powered treadles and hand cranks, or affordable Weekend Workshops on Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons (click links to see those pages.)

And, I almost forgot to mention: the Minions are due to arrive later this week! Stay tuned ~
