Need Wide Backing Fabric?
We still have some “Quilts Through the Seasons” 108” wide backing fabrics available for $12.00 for a 3-yard bundle. These have slight flaws “grinning” which leaves tiny areas of white in the design. This is caused the by printing unit “twitching” during the printing process.

Long Arm Quilting Opportunity Drawing – Drawing to be held November 20
The annual contract for Eleanor's program on RFD-TV is up for renewal soon. RFD-TV charges Quilt in a Day an enormous fee for airing our shows. Even after selling advertising space and sponsor funding, our costs are not covered.
To keep Eleanor on the air, we decided to hold drawings of quilting related items. All proceeds received through the ticket sales will be applied towards the broadcast fees. Our first drawing is for 6 hours of Professional Long Arm Quilting by Amie Potter. Amie is a long time friend of Quilt in a Day and her beautiful work is featured in many Quilt in a Day books. You may purchase tickets in our Quilt in a Day store in San Marcos or Paducah. Tickets are also available through our website. Tickets are only $1.00 each for a chance to win this $150 value! Your project is guaranteed a 2-week turnaround, so it will be ready for Christmas. Purchase as many tickets as you wish. The drawing will be held on Thursday, November 20, 2008 and Eleanor herself will draw the winning ticket and call the winner personally. Employees of Quilt in a Day or RFD-TV are not eligible.
