I have been so busy with the new clubs, and the great new items on the website, that we’re a little behind in getting some things out to you.
Including updated information!
Because there is a lot to tell, I’m going to try to split it up into several newsletters that I hope to send out over the next couple of weeks.
First of all, transitioning from the Treasures Club to the Crazy Quilters Clubs set us behind a little bit. I also went bananas on the first issue of the CQ Club - I wrote 19 pages! Please note that most of our sets of instructions accompanying our CQ and CQ Series packages will average between six and 10 pages - which is a lot!
Our August CQ Series Package is mostly ready to go- we’re waiting on a few things to come in before we can send it out. This is also true for our September CQ Club package, but it will be ready very soon now.
Our July Embellishment package never made it out in July, but we finally sent it out this morning! (September 1) It will now be considered the August Embellishment package - Summer Fun, and it’s so pretty I know you’ll enjoy it! We will be sending out the September package as soon as a few things ordered come in for it, which should be very soon.
Our August Flower Fairy package was also delayed, but is going out tomorrow. (Sept 2).
This month’s sale items for Club Members (all clubs!) will be listed on the Sale Page, so be sure to check it out! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/Crazy_Quilting_Supplies_on_Sale_at_ESD.html
We’ve got a lot of exciting new things coming in, and we’ll try to keep you up to date on those as they come in. As of right now, we’ve just added Seven new small Embellishment bundles ($2.50 each) that you will love. Please visit this page to see them for yourself! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/Embelllishment_Twists_and_Bundles.html
Plus, we’ve just received some great new Susan Clarke Buttons, all discounted 20% that you will love! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/Susan_Clarke_Buttons_20_pct_Discount_Evening_Star.html
We’ll be getting in some new Valdani and Kreinik colors - gorgeous! And I’ll update you about them as soon as they arrive. We’ve got some great new books, and more, and I’ll be elaborating on all of these in the next newsletter.
We have announcements for those of you who have signed up as Newbies. Please visit the Newbies page: http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/Crazy_Quilt_Newbies_at_Evening_Star_Designs.html
Though I tried to reorganize the Silkies page - I can see how some of you have been having trouble understanding how to order our wonderful and very special Silkies! I’m working on that page to add an explanation of how to order our beautiful Silkies, though I’m not finished yet, so please visit soon: http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/ESD_Modern_Cigarette_Silks_Custom_Printed.html
ESD Discount Collections: This used to be the Grab Bag page, but that was just not right! Those of you who have ordered these packages have sent us absolutely glowing reports of appreciation!
It seems to me that “Grab Bags” imply that the things in them are made up of things we couldn’t sell, or that might be “ugly.” NOT SO! Everything in these packages is first quality, and gorgeous - and discounted! We are getting more and more orders for them every day! I hope you will try one - the savings are great, the choices are many, and the items contained in the packages are all wonderful! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/Discount_Collections_Crazy_Quilting.html
I’m also working on a couple of new pages to help everyone! One page will be devoted to adding a note to your order. To add a note to your order visit this page: http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/Add_a_note_to_your_order.html
The other one will be for questions you might have that will be best answered by me. (Carolyn) For usual questions about your orders and ordering, please use our regular email address: esdorders@hotmail.com These are fielded at least initially by Jo Ann, who is in charge of getting your orders out, keeping up with all our lists, discounts, and just about everything else to do with your orders.
For those of you who have other types of questions, for example, about CQ packages or instructions. About what kinds of threads to use, information about general embroidery, materials or CQ questions, it will be best if you email me directly at: carolynatesd@hotmail.com Web page: http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/ask_Carolyn.html
While I added this page some time ago, I thought I’d refresh your memory. To view your cart at any time during your order visit this page: http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/cart/cart/7006010.htm
Please note: These three pages are listed at the bottom of our left-column menu (the buttons in blue on our Website!
This was supposed to be a quick note to let you know what’s coming up - and it’s already become long! I’ll be sending out more information very soon!
In the meantime, we look forward to hearing from you very soon!
Happy Stitching!
