Summer is here, bringing longer days with lots of sunshine, and we have a few things to help you fill those extra daylight hours! We have also been making a few changes around here. As you may have noticed, we've redesigned the website and you should see updates there at least once a week. But if you want the most immediate information, follow us on Twitter at common_threads. We will be posting links there to new fabrics, kits and patterns the moment they're available.
 
Additionally, we're adding a new section to the newsletter - Employee of the Month! We'd like you to have a chance to get to know us better, and to start us out we're featuring a very special employee this month. 
 
In other shop news, please keep in mind that we will be closed on July 4th, to celebrate our American Independence Day. 
 
 
One day sale!
 
Join us on Saturday, June 27th for a huge, one-day sale.  Select fabrics in the store will be 50% off, and we will have over 200 bolts to choose from. Additionally, for every $10 you spend your name will go into a drawing for a gift basket worth over $200!

Clara Barton - In association with the Clara Barton Birthplace Museum in North Oxford, MA, Windham has given us a new line of patriotic fabrics that salutes this unique American heroine. Fabrics selected for this collection are from a commemorative signature quilt that was presented to Clara by veterans of the Civil war, as well as artifacts found in her home. Below you can see some of the examples. Click here to read more about this amazing woman and the fabric line she inspired.
