Stars and Scraps Quilt Shop-ready for business
Out with the old! It took a lot to finally get it all moved. In with the new! Come see what's behind the closed door.
It seems like forever, but we are excited to open our doors tomorrow, February 26th. We thank you for your patience. Who knew we had so much stuff? We could not accomplished this move without the help of some great friends. Thank you!!
Change is not always easy. There may be some hiccups along the way. We are working really hard though, because we value our customers and want them to be satisfied. We really appreciate those of you that have already given us your support and positive feedback. It really means a lot to us.
Although we tried to anticipate questions that everyone would ask, I know we missed the mark. For that, I apologize. If you asked a question that didn't get answered, or if we appeared annoyed, or non-committal, just know that it was not on purpose. It has been an overwhelming process with little time to adjust. With that said, I will try to answer some of the frequently asked questions, as honestly as I can.
WHY ARE YOU MOVING? - a business decision based on lots of factors, including lowering overhead costs. It was not an easy decision. After realizing that our current lease ended in January, not June as as in previous years, I had to scramble to decide what to do. I would not have closed the shop the last week in December and painted, had I known we would be moving. That was a big chore that took lots of wo-man hours. I signed a new lease on January 30th with the understanding that I would be out of the old space by February 15th. Yikes!
WILL YOU STILL CARRY FABRIC ON THE BOLT? Yes! And hopefully with your continued support, we can bring in new fresh lines that our customers love. Give us time to stock up.
WHY DID YOU REDUCE YOUR HOURS? Again, a business decision to reduce overhead costs. In addition, I still work full-time outside of the store at a job requiring more than 40 hours a week. I am so thankful for the girls that have worked at the shop during the week while I'm at work. They are the faces that you see and they have been awesome! But working at the shop after hours and almost every weekend for the past 8 years has taken its toll on me and my family. I look forward to having more time to bring you fresh ideas, original patterns, online shopping capabilities, and much more.
WILL YOU HAVE CLASSES? We are working on getting electrical outlets installed in the rear of the shop, where the classroom would be. In the meantime, Pamala will still have Stitching Society on the first Thursday of the month and Wool Club on the third Thursday of the month. The new session of wool club starts in April. Stitching Society for March has been moved to the third Thursday, March 19th for this month only.
SPRING FLING- we are still participating in Spring Fling, March 5th-March 7th from 9AM to 6PM. You won't want to miss it. Each shop is handing out a free fat quarter from the Benartex line French Quarter. This year you are eligible for a grand prize of 21 yards of fabric and a Baby Lock sewing and embroidery machine. Bring a can of unexpired food to receive a 20% off coupon good in the month of May.
HOW FAR IS THE NEW SHOP FROM THE OLD SHOP? Exactly 5.7 miles. Take the 91 West to the Maple/6th Street exit. Turn right to the first stoplight, Pomona Road. Turn right on Pomona. We are in the center on the left hand side. Turn left in to the first driveway. We are on the right hand side in Suite C. We are very close once you exit the freeway.
1869 Pomona Road, Suite C, Corona, CA 92880
We have lots of merchandise that we still need to move because we are out of room. All patterns, books, assorted notions and clearance fabric are 50% off right now.
We look forward to seeing you. Thank you again for your continued support!

WE ARE MOVING...
Stars & Scraps Quilt Shop is moving to a new location, 1869 Pomona Road, Suite C, Corona, CA.
Our last day in the old space will be Saturday, February 7, 2015. We have decided to focus our creative energy in a different direction. We will still continue to provide the low cost kits featuring our original designs, specialized classes, wool club, stitching society, great block of the month programs and more that are in the works. We hear so many customers talking about online shopping, that we decided to get on board and work on that end of our business. Look for updates coming soon about how you can shop online. Also, we are excited that Pamala wants to teach long arm quilting and rent use of a machine so you can finish your quilt from beginning to end. We will have shorter hours as we need time to get our new adventure going. Please fill free to visit us Thursdays thru Saturdays from 10AM to 4PM. We will still have Saturday Sampler on the 1st Saturday of the month. And you can pick up your blocks of the month as usual. More information on our re-opening day in the new space is coming soon! Thank you for your continued support, without it, we wouldn't be able to continue to provide you with the service and products that you love!

We have made a change to the Holiday Workshop schedules in order to accommodate everyone who is interested. You will now have the choice of coming on any of the listed days & can pick the project you are interested in. We have also added a few open days that you can also come and work on your own projects. For the Holiday and workshops and the scheduled Work on your own project days, we will provide treats and drinks.
Here are projects that you can come in and pick up and still get done in time for Christmas, or they would make great friendship gifts.

Holiday Workshops
Join us for our Holiday Workshop event! This year we have created some wonderful projects that can be given as gifts to family and friends, OR made for yourself. Except for the Sew Together Bag, these projects were designed by us to be sewn in our workshops. WARNING! We plan to serve treats, play games, have prizes, laugh and have fun!
We have scheduled different projects on different days, however we have grouped together projects in the same price range. Your workshop fee for that day includes one kit, from that days workshop, of your choice. We are scheduling as many different times and days as possible to accommodate everyone's busy schedule. We don't have pictures of all the samples yet, but we will shortly.
GINGERBREAD DOLL or CRAYON TOTE or SANTA COOKIE MAT-$25.00 November Dates: 11/16-1PM to 5PM. 11/25-10AM to 2PM. This adorable Gingerbread Doll would look great sitting in your couch, under the tree, helping you in the kitchen, or given as a gift with a homemade batch of Gingerbread cookies. Every kid loves crayons. This personalized tote has two color way choices. It holds at least 16 crayons and a coloring book or two. Our Santa's Cookie Mat is perfect for putting out with Santa's plate of cookies. It even includes a saying that includes a carrot for Rudolph (not pictured yet).
ADVENT CALENDAR/TOTE -$50.00 November dates 11/22 10AM-4PM. This adorable calendar has 24 pockets that each hold an ornament. Imagine how much fun a child will have pulling out an ornament each day and placing it on the tree. Personalize the stockings with family member names, add the dogs name to a bone. Make it yours. You can make the wall hanging and save the ornaments for a fun family craft day. Let everyone join in in the fun of creating things that are special to them. Our Tote Bag will feature outside pockets with quilt blocks, and will be big enough to carry all your "stuff" (not pictured)
Tabletopper /Tablerunner-$30.00 November Dates 11/20 6PM to 9PM 11/23 1PM to 5PM. Both of these will make the perfect backdrop to your table or place the tabletopper on the wall. The Tablerunner has two trees at each end made of 100% wool. It really gives you a warm & cozy traditional feel. The tabletopper kit comes with pre-cut wool felt dies for the appliqué, so you can get sewing right away. The shapes are easily stitched around on your sewing machine, so the assembly is fast.
We have a limited number of kits available so sign up soon if you are interested. We do not have patterns available for any of these projects. They were designed for our workshops and detailed instructions will be provided at that time. We will also be offering workshops during the month of December. Stayed tuned for those dates and more pictures of upcoming projects. We are excited to bring these to you and hope that you will join us!

Finally Feels like Fall
Now that the weather is finally cooling down, we can start to think about fall and Christmas. I made this tumbler quilt while hanging out at the store Saturday. Using our tumbler ruler template, it was fast to cut out and even quicker to sew together. We cut some kits so you could make one too.
Christmas fabric arrived in May and June, but we still have some kits that can easily get done before December.
How about a small fabric and wool project? We have some left over kits from our wool club and Live Simply Block of the Month program. Each are sold separately and while supplies last. There are more months than what's pictured, so come down and take a look.
Mill Works block of the month starts in October. This program is features fabrics from Marcus Brothers. We have some blocks up on the wall. It's coming together beautifully. Call or come in to sign up.
We are planning some quick and easy classes featuring projects you can make before Christmas. Stay tuned for more information in our posts.
See you at the shop!
