ETSY Sale

Announcing – Great Joy Studio on ETSY!CCAngelRed S-l-o-w-l-y but surely, we have been trying to build our ETSY shop offerings to include supplies and images. However, for now, it is just a tiny little shop featuring some of our classic, out of print, fabric collections. These are high quality cottons in a limited supply, my personal stash of early artist samples.

So, sewers, quilters & creatives, we also wanted to let you in on our first promotion, a Labor Day Weekend Sale on these beautiful first cuts. CCFlakesRedCCPkdPosts
