Just One More Week ...

Yes, that is correct, this is the last full week before we celebrate Christmas next Wednesday. Here at Arizona Quilts, we are doing our part to help make the season "Merry and Bright"!
We kicked the week off with our Christmas Party at "Cuff" restaurant in old town Glendale https://www.facebook.com/cuffdowntown/
(By the way - a great place for lunch or dinner in a fun, casual atmosphere!)
Part of our time was spent celebrating another great year with our team
and reflecting on how to make your customer experience
the best that it can be in 2020!
After a long winter's nap, it was then on to our Ugly Sweater Event and drawing! As you can see the AZQ gals made it a fun day sporting their ugly Christmas sweaters and we think Susan's pants pushed her over the top to be the in-store team member winner!
Our great customer, ​Barb F., won "hoofs" down with her luxurious and lighthearted llama sweater! Barb's loud and lovable sweater said
Merry Llama Christmas whether she was coming or going!
Thanks so much to all who came by sporting their sweaters and joining in on the fun. As you can see ... Arizona Quilts is the holiday place to be and
we would love it if some of your holiday season was spent with us!
For all of us in the procrastination club who are looking for that special gift, how about an Arizona Quilts gift certificate?
Just see the section below for details.
We hope to see you soon!
Happy Fun & Festive Quilting!
Murray & Debe
and the Arizona Quilts Team!

Join Gail for the unveiling of your dimensional piece!
