PJ's November 1, 2025 Newsletter

Hi Everyone,

It has been a while since I've written and I'm going to try to get back into it.

What is new? Holy buckets there is so much. We did 2 shows recently - in Jacksonville and in Clearwater. The shop samples used for our booths are going up in the shop.

Staff is excited to unveil a stunning collection of 19 new quilt shop samples. These quilts are soon to grace our shop walls, and we can't wait for you to experience their charm firsthand. Whether your an avid quilter or just beginning, there's something for everyone in our new arrivals. Come discover our kits that will trigger your creativity for your next project.

The whimsical kit fairies (staff) have been working their magic, crafting delightful fabric bundles that are just bursting with potential for your next quilting adventure! We've got something for everyone - whether you're creating cozy quilts for little ones, vibrant projects for teens, or handsome designs that even the men in your family will appreciate.

Glow in the dark Rainforest Glow frogs are just waiting for the right child to experience. Who knew that turning off the lights during a quilt showcase might lead to some delightful surprises that leaves everyone grinning from ear to ear. Let's illuminate the world together!

Exciting news on the Bernina front! We are thrilled to announce that we have a fantastic selection of Bernina machines in stock, just waiting for you to come and explore their incredible features. Pat and Judy are not just sellers --- they're passionate advocates for these machines, and their love for Bernina shines through in everything they do!

It's not just about machines; we believe that a thriving quilting community needs machines, fabric and longarm services to flourish. By diversifying our offerings and providing a variety of services and products, we can all support each other in this creative journey.

So why not stop by, check out the new Bernina 7 Pro Series and other models. Let us keep the quilting spirit alive and kicking together.

We are also thrilled to announce an exciting transformation in the layout of PJ's Quilt & Longarm Studio that is designed to enhance your shopping experience! Our fabrics are being meticulously organized by manufacturer, making it easier and more enjoyable for you to explore our collections and find the perfect fabric for your next project. You'll also notice new "New" signs adorning the shelves, showcasing the latest fabric collections that have been thoughtfully added to our shop.

These changes reflect our unwavering commitment to fostering creativity and building a vibrant community for quilters of all levels, from beginners to seasoned experts. We invite you to visit us soon and experience this fresh new layout firsthand -- your feedback is invaluable to us as we strive to create an inspiring space for all.

Lisa, Suzanne and Judy are working on getting classes scheduled. We invite you to stay connected and engaged with us by frequently checking our website calendar, following our Facebook posts and keeping an eye out for our upcoming emails. These classes are not just opportunities to enhance your skills; they are a chance to express your creativity and connect with fellow quilters.

Classes can also reignite your passion for sewing and inspire you to dust off your sewing machine to dive back into a world of creativity. Learning new techniques and ideas not only dispels the blues but also invigorates your spirit. Rediscover the joy of sewing!
