Why do we give a military discount?

I'll tell you why, kitty kats!  We love the men and women of the military.   My husband and I are both still serving, and I feel it's important to give a little back to the folks in uniform.  You hear about fast food chains giving a discount, why not a quilt shop? Here's a photo of my husband and I with Bryce Fisher from the Seattle Seahawks.  Isn't he hot?!   My husband, I mean...

My hair looked good that day.  Bryce was in the Washington Air National Guard and this picture was taken right after they were robbed of their Superbowl.

The 10% discount is open to all serving members of the military, retirees and their dependents.  All I ask in return is you drop me a line when you order and let me know your affiliation with the military, maybe share some of your history with us.  It's fun to see the different types of duty where my customers served.  It also gives us a shared bond between quilters and military members. 

Use discount code 141ARW when checking out.

If you have any questions, just give me a shout!  Or a Hoorah...

On the bright side, my corneas are VERY thin!  According to my optometrist, they're too thin for lasik eye surgery.  Wouldn't you know it...the only thing that's too thin on my body are my corneas.

What does this post have to do with quilting?  Well duh...my butt's getting big because I sit at my sewing machine too much AND my eyes are so bad because I'm constantly abusing them with all my quilting.

What is "Prairie Chic?"  Although it's not in the dictionary or Wikipedia, it's a term I like to refer to as My Quilting Style!  I love, love, love shabby chic florals AND traditional vintage prairie style fabrics.  Bring them together and you have Prairie Chic!  Besides, I live on a street called Prairie Crest and the view from my back window overlooks a prairie.

When I first opened the shop, the original name was Prairie Crest Fabrics.  The funny thing is that people have a really hard time spelling the word PRAIRIE.  So I changed the name to West Plains Quilt Co.  I also live on the west plains of Eastern Washington state.  So I figured I had all my bases covered.

Prairie Chic fabrics you'll find in my store include anything from delicious florals to homespun folk art-type fabrics.  You probably won't find batiks in my shop -- unless they are truly fabulous and somehow go with our theme.

If there's something you think goes with our Prairie Chic style and you'd like to see it on the website, just drop me a line.

Thanks for stopping by!

I love this woman.
