Introducing holiday gift packs

Just a quick announcement before the American holiday tomorrow.

We now have custom gift packs available in the shop! Each gift pack comes with your choice of three patterns in its own sweet little box for $45.

I don’t know about you, but I always struggle to give people gift ideas when the holidays arrive. But it always feels so nice to get something that sparks your creativity rather than more stuff, if that makes sense. I love unwrapping art supplies, crafty books, fabric, or patterns.

And since these are totally custom packs, you can choose the patterns you want. No danger of getting designs you already have.

Of course, there’s also the option of a gift certificate. These are nice because they’re emailed right to you, perfect for the last-minute gift givers you know.

I hope you guys like the gift packs! Here are some shots of Kenn and I putting hundreds of these little boxes together. That was quite a weekend, eased only by hot cider and pumpkin pie.

Yaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!!! how long will this deal last? If I don’t get the patterns I want for Christmas, you can bet your britches I’ll be ordering them myself with Christmas money. And will there be some sort of Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale?

We’ll have them until they sell out, basically! I’m guessing there will be some left after the holidays, but it’s hard to say.

What a great idea! I love the little box. You put so much thought into the packaging, it really shows.
