Special Announcement About Villa Rosa Designs

Hello Quilty Friends!

Yep – you’re right, it’s not Thursday yet, but I had some important information to share with you about Villa Rosa Designs and it couldn’t wait until our usual Thursday post.

Please read on –

Moving Along

Pat Fryer is making changes – all toward scaling back her personal work load and concentrating on the Villa Rosa patterns.

California fabric shop and online fabric store –

All of the fresh new fabrics will be handed off to Heidi and Molly Cook.  The location is the same and all of the good things will be there.  They have a new name – 3 Aunts Quilt Shop.  The website 3AuntsQuiltShop.com will be live October 1.  There will be links on the VillaRosaDesigns.com website and in our newsletters.  All of Villa Rosa Designs patterns will be available at the shop and on 3AuntsQuiltShop.com.  3 Aunts Quilt Shop will carry on as the California home of Villa Rosa Designs.  Great things are in store!

VillaRosaDesigns.com –

The website will continue to have all of the Villa Rosa Designs patterns, and will still have close-out fabric and kits.  There is much remaining inventory after years of buying and overbuying fabric.

Pat and company [me included!] are going to be adding much more in the way of videos, tutorials, challenges, social sharing.  Let’s keep Villa Rosa Designs quilting and connected!

The new Texas home of Villa Rosa Designs –

A new East Texas location is opening in October.  The location is a partnership between Pat of Villa Rosa Designs and Catherine of Running Doe Quilts.  Running Doe Quilt Shop is expanding there – more machines, more fabric and notions, more classes.  Running Doe’s new shop will be renamed Rose City Sewing.  The location will have all of the Villa Rosa patterns available, along with close-out Villa Rosa fabrics.  Great things are in store!

Wholesale Operations –

Austin, TX is still home to Villa Rosa Designs administration and print shop.  Leann Fryer handles operations, web design, programming, wholesale ordering, and special orders.  Wholesale orders for quilt shops can be placed on VillaRosaWholesale.com.

Pattern Shipping –

Central Missouri houses the patterns.  Eric Aitken fills pattern orders – wholesale and retail.  Nancy Aitken heads our art department from there.

With all these moves, Villa Rosa Designs continues to be scattered over 3 states.  Centralizing contacts – phone and emails – will be a challenge we hope to simplify.

Hello Quilty Friends!

Happy Thursday!

Hi everyone! Molly popping on to show you around the shop. Hold on tight, this might turn into a roller coaster ride!

Our quilt shop got started in a spacious 2 story building, just outside town near the air park, in 2019.

Remember when I said it was spacious? 4 years later and we are bursting at the seams — (no) pun intended.

Where should we start our tour of the shop? How about the front door? Here we have all our VRD Rose Card patterns on 4 large racks — with well over 500 patterns, those racks are bursting!

Want to see our whole pattern catalog? Go HERE.

Nearby, we have a “dump” table where we toss FQ bundles that give you a taste of the fabric collections in the shop. Some of the bundles are also last chance bundles.

Grab some bundles of fun HERE.

Look at these lovely rolled bundles!

Just to the left of the door is a whole room dedicated to the fabric bolts that are on sale — the “sale room”.

You can visit our online Sale Room HERE.

You still with me? Now we are moving into the main room in the shop where the fabric collections are mostly divided by designer: Tula Pink, Anna Marie Horner, Charley Harper, Art Gallery, Australian, Kaffe, 4th of July, Black & Whites, ombrés and of course our basics — Grunge, Palette, Canvas, Blossom, Spotted….

Check out our current fabric collections HERE.

And scattered around the store on various shelves are VRD Rose Card kits to make the quilts we have on display!

Load up on VRD kits HERE.

And to keep up with the “demand of cutting” we have 3 cutting boards— 2 are in the main room and 1 is in the side room. The side room area is mostly used for all your online order preperations.

Let’s head up the stairs and take a peek at our “employees only” area — Bonnie calls it “the scary place”. LOL! Upstairs has the same space as downstairs but that’s where the similarity ends. There are 2 long arms to quilt the many samples along with back stock and — of course — the area for the Facebook Live Sale on Friday nights.

Do you know about our Facebook Live events???

You can shop our quilt shop from the comfort of your home every Fry-day afternoon at 4 PM Pacific Time (7 PM Eastern Time). We’ll show you the latest patterns, kits, bundles, and collections as well as our latest markdowns. You can find more information about our Facebook Live Sales HERE.

Thanks everyone for joining me for the tour. Hope to see you at the shop soon — tell ‘em Molly sent you!

Until next Thursday —

Sew. Laugh. Repeat.

Your Guest Blogger,

Molly @ VRD
