Tomato
Happy October!
It’s been a wonderful summer of spending time in my happy place and quilting quilting quilting! Just being in the sewing room decreases any stress and makes me joyful.
Until recently I have purchased my batting wholesale from Hobbs. This was great because I not only loved their products, out I could drive to Waco and pick it up, and not pay shipping. Sc I was able to pass that savings on to my customers. This changec when Hobbs began requiring purchase of $5000/year worth of batting to be a wholesaler.
Of course I am now having to pay shipping, which means that for the first time since starting Red Tomato in 2018, I need to raise prices to cover that. But, as always, if you prefer to provide your own batting, I’m happy to use it on your quilt.
Please look over the price list for changes… before it was $0.25/ linear inch for 80/20 batting, now it’s $0.28/linear inch for the 80/20.
I hate having to increase prices, but will close with my new daily mantra… “Live every day fully, with joy and gratitude, we aren’t promised tomorrow” So keep quilting, do what you love and make quilts for those you love!
I am now a wholesaler with Quilters Dream and Warm and Natural. I haven’t purchased from Warm yet, but have been purchasing from Quilters Dream, and I’m impressed with the variety they offer and the quality. I will now be carrying bamboo and 100%cotton batting, in addition to the 80/20 and wool I’ve carried before. The bamboo is amazing… very thin and soft!
