VaBeachQuilter DeStash
VaBeachQuilter DeStash is the featured shop this week.
Kim has a 100+ different fabrics and other destash items listed. A great shop to get fabrics at a reduced price. Most of the fabrics retail at $9 - $11 a yard, but Kim is selling them at $8 a yard.
If you're looking for something specific, contact Kim and let her know. She has hundreds of different fabrics not even listed in her shop (though she intends to list more soon).
Kim charges shipping on her fabric but she has a unique "twist" to it. Most of the fabric's shipping might seem a little "high" but once Kim has printed your shipping label (or gone to the post office, if it's an international order) she will REFUND any over-charge in the shipping costs. How many shops do you know that do THAT??? Charge you EXACT shipping??? Not too many, we bet.
Kim is only 3 items away from graduating from our "little" guild. This might be the only feature for her DeStash shop. Swing on by and show it some blogger love...even if you aren't a sewer, maybe you know someone that does...
All fabric is available in smaller cuts, if desired. The prices will be adjusted accordingly and a private listing will be set for you.
Follow Kim's blog, Facebook fan page, and on Twitter to be among the first to know when new fabric and supplies have been listed.
January's blog giveaway prize is posted, in the upper-left hand corner. Who WOULDN'T want to win a $15 gift certificate to Too Fancy??? Just leave a comment to enter our giveaway... Psst... you can enter as many times as you want.
