Dear
Friends,
As I’m sure
you all know by now, Governor Pritzker has announced a Stay at Home directive
for all of us in Illinois. I can only imagine how hard this decision was for
him and, as a nurse, appreciate his willingness to make this difficult decision
in his efforts to keep us safe. We support
his decision.
As part of this
Stay at Home directive all non-essential businesses have been asked to close by
5pm Saturday March 21st. That includes our Shop. The end date of
this directive is tentatively April 7th but that is not set in stone. It all
depends on how quickly we can impact the spread of Covid-19. We will definitely
keep you updated!
If you need any last minute supplies
or fabrics, need to pick up a special order or have a machine repair that is
ready for pick up please do so tomorrow. Our shop is open from 10-330pm.
Unfortunately, after that time and until
Stay at Home is lifted our shop will remain closed to all in store shopping, machine
repair drop offs/pick- ups, classes and events. We are still working out the
details of First Saturday and will update you as we get closer to April 4th.
While the
storefront is closed, please feel free to shop our Etsy store! There are lots
of great kits, fabric bundles and other items to keep you inspired . We have
even added yard cuts of great background fabrics to help you as you work from
your stash. I will continue to ship out
orders as they come in and am adding new items as quickly as I can. If there is
something you would like to see on Etsy please send me an email.
These are
hard times for all of us and we appreciate your continued support of our shop. Most
important, stay safe and stay healthy. This will pass and we look forward to
seeing you all again soon.
Elaine and Mike and all of us at Stitching on
State
