Who Do You Get Flash Sales From?
 
When I came back to quilting a couple months ago, not much stash, I found flash sales. I only know of 2: Crafttown Fabrics and Missouri Star. Who do you get flash sale emails from?

would you mind explaining "flash sales"? I've never heard or read the term until just now.

Also known as deal-of-the-day, single day sales promoted by email and social media.

Fat Quarter Shop has them daily and Craftsy also has some.

You get on your email, and there's a 12 or 24 hour sale. Like yesterday, it was a beautiful moda charm pack for $2. You can usually only buy one.

Today it's a Lagoon jelly roll, normally $40, but it's 18. But it's just today. And Craft town fabrics always have 3.00 a yard sales. It comes in your email.

Well now, don't laugh. I get them at my sister's house. She is her own fabric shop. She recently gave me 52 fat quarters, 5 half yards, and two full yards. Also, whenever I need backing, I can get it for just $2.00 a yard.

In my real shopping, I like places that have free shipping.

You have an AWESOME sister! Is she in the market for adopting another sister? LOL

I don't get them via email, but I check Fat Quarter Shop, Missouri Star, and Craft Town Fabrics fairly often.

Never heard the term. I try not to sign up for many emails on sales. I get enough with Kohl's, BB&B, QIAD, Nancy's Notions and JAF !!
