Loyalty Pays … Literally

Introducing Quilter’s Cash

Howdy Quilter’s! It is with great pleasure and excitement that we introduce a program that has been long in the works. Drum roll please …

Ladies and gentlemen, boy and girls, I am pleased to announce Quilter’s Cash!

So let’s get right down to the nitty gritty. Quilter’s Cash is MSQC’s way of saying “thank you” for being a loyal customer. Up until now, shopping with us meant great deals, awesome shipping rates and fun times, but Quilter’s Cash means all of that PLUS amazing rewards for shopping with us!

What is Quilter’s Cash?

  • You earn Quilter’s Cash on every item (including the Daily Deal) you purchase online at our shop.
  • You can redeem Quilter’s Cash on any item in the shop.
  • Just like real cash, 1 point = 1 cent. So if a purchase earns you 417 points, you have earned $4.17 cents in Quilter’s Cash.

How specifically is Quilter’s Cash earned?

  • Every item (except for the Daily Deal) will earn you 3% of the purchase price in Quilter’s Cash.
  • Daily Deals will earn you 1% back in Quilter’s Cash.
  • Many items will have bonus points on them, meaning you will get the usual 3% PLUS additional Quilter’s Cash!
  • Even though you don’t need to log in to buy products on our site (you can do it as a guest), you WILL need to log in to both earn and redeem points.

A simple rewards program with few restrictions:

  • Unlike many other rewards programs, there is no minimum point balance required to redeem; you can use your Quilter’s Cash on your very next order no matter how small or large your points balance is.
  • It’s called Quilter’s Cash because we actually treat it like cash. You can spend it on whatever products you want, even daily deals.  Quilter’s Cash, however, cannot be used against shipping costs. The normal $5 flat shipping rate, or free shipping on orders over $100 applies (as well as Canadian and International shipping rates).
  • Since every point is worth a cent, it’s super easy to figure out how much Quilter’s Cash you have, unlike some rewards programs where you practically need a PhD to figure out how much your points are actually worth!

How to use your reward points:

  • On the Shopping Cart page you can slide the bar in the “Spend Your Points” section (you must be logged in to do this) to choose how many of your points you would like to spend (you will obviously not have any points until you make your first purchase, so you may not see this right away).
  • Once you’ve made your selection, you will see that the points have been applied in the in box to the right as a “discount” on your order. You may use your points to reduce your order cost. If you reduce your cost right down to $0.00,  any remaining unused points will be yours to use on future orders 🙂
  • Next proceed to Check Out and pay the applicable shipping.
  • To check your points balance at any time you must first log in.  Once logged in, at the top right corner of any of any shopping page click on “My Account”.  Along the right hand column under the “My Account” section, click on “My Points and Rewards”.  Here you will find your Quilter’s Cash balance further detail on how you have earned and redeemed points.


And that’s all she wrote folks. It’s as easy and simple as that. Again, we’d like to thank all of you for your continual support of our shop.  Enjoy the rewards of your loyalty.  Happy Quilting!

Tea Towel Apron Idea…

Wow, it is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is RIGHT around the corner!  I’m still mourning summer, but coming to grips that the Holidays are definitely upon us!

Since I just moved…AGAIN, my holiday plans are to lay low and keep it simple.

Us girls at the shop are coming up with some fun things to make as gifts or to brighten your homes with!  (soon, I promise!)

This morning I came across a really cute printable from Allsorts blog (Jenny B Harris) The little holiday lists are just plain adorable!  I printed mine right away (7) and made each one of us our own Christmas lists that the kids  can start writing down what they want!   I made one for myself also!  My husband NEEDS all the help he can get!  🙂  It was literally a 20 minute project that got me all inspired!  (and you know I love that!!)

I also wanted to show you  (pardon the Halloween fabric) just another embellishment idea we have using the basic tea towel apron pattern. It is just so easy to make these little aprons adorable and cute, using some holiday fabric and some trim!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

We’ll talk soon.

A sneak peak…

Mom has been busy with Jan Patek designing several new patterns that will debut at Market!  We are so excited for her and can’t believe this dream has come true for Mom.  Here is a sneak peak of Mom holding the kits she has to make into quilts before Market.  If you are going, be sure to stop by Jan’s booth (in the Moda area) and say hi to her!  🙂

We just finished up the shop hop, the taping and the visits from out of town friends.  We have had a busy (exhausting, really) last few weeks.  We have had lots of fun with everyone.

We have some awesome new fabric lines in or coming in soon!!  We ordered the entire Dr Seuss line (s) from Robert Kaufman, and can NOT wait to get them in here!!  I have already seen some awesome quilts made out of this fabric, and I’m dying to cut into it myself!

Hope you are all having a fabulous week.

Professional Classes!

Jenny has been hard at work filming professional tutorials the past few weeks.  She was approached by a company that produces high-quality tutorials on a wide range of topics to do a series of tutorials designed to teach people how to quilt.  These will be available for sale in the near future and we will post the links to get them for those interested.  They’ll be great for beginners!  Don’t worry though MSQC YouTube fans, we will still continue to release free YouTube videos on a consistent basis.  Check out a quick sneak peak of some behind the scenes filming action below!
