To my fellow New England quilters: some of you may have heard a rumor (like I have), that the Quilted Crow in Bolton, MA is closing. Since I, too, have heard this rumor, and the Quilted Crow is one of my favorite quilt shops, I went to the shop today and asked Sue directly. THIS IS JUST A RUMOR!! Let me repeat that, it is just a rumor, she is not closing. At some point down the road, she may decide to retire, like we all will at some point. This terrible rumor has impacted her shop in a negative way. If you have been to the Quilted Crow, you know how welcoming and friendly everyone is there. If you hear this rumor, please help stop it. Also, please go visit Sue and her staff. She is getting new fabrics in regularly and she has both cottons and wools amongst other things. Even if you haven’t been to the shop, I encourage you to stop in. Oh, and if you are doing the All New England Shop Hop, don’t miss her shop, she is just off 495 and it is an easy on and off. Plus, you can grab a coffee next door to keep you fueled as you continue on the hop.
I know this isn’t my usual type of a post, but we don’t need rumors impacting business of a shop that is still open. Help keep our local quilt shops open by visiting them and not just buying online. After all, seeing the fabrics and touching it is far more fun than buying online. Please visit the Quilted Crow, and show that you too care about them and don’t want a rumor to hurt their business like it has been. Also, visit your local quilt shops. The owners and their staff appreciate all of you. Thanks for taking the time to read my post and I hope some of you get a chance to visit the Quilted Crow and see what an amazing shop it is.
