We are well into our last week here at Prairie Star Quilts in Elk Horn. All this week remaining stock is –60%. I’ve also reduced a lot of display pieces and we have hung a lot of samples that will now be for sale.


On Saturday the 28th (our last day) instead of fabric, patterns and books being –65% as advertised we will reduce all fabric to $2 per yard. Patterns will be $1 and books $2. there will be other great buys, too.



Saturday will be one of the saddest days of my life. Not only do I hate to see the shop close, not see most of you again and not have my staff together,  but it was to have been a happy occasion for Charlie and me. I have to admit time for the two of us was the main reason for my retirement.

Sad though it will be, I plan to be in the shop all day Saturday --- it's been a great 20 years.

If you can put up with me, I plan to keep this blog going.

  4. I am so glad you are continuing your blog. I have a question.... I would like to make the Indian Creek quilt that you had a picture of on one of your March 2011 entries. I tried googling it but could not find it. You can email me at maggiehagman (at) gmail (dot) com. Thanks!
