Computer problems!

So, I'm told you like to hear what's going on in the background of running this store sometimes, guess that's what a blog is for!  Can I use it to whine??   A couple days ago my computer email simply crashed - don't know what happened - but we're still trying to figure it out - so if you're emailing me, it may take longer for me to get back to you & I apologize in advance!!  How frustrating!!    On a lighter note & a more positive one, I have to go home early today to get Kendra ready for her "Winter Ball" that she & Alex are going to!  She is so excited - I will post a photo of them - they always look so cute - she will wear her prom dress, and he's getting a tux!!!  That will be fun!  Also, taking a class tomorrow with a couple of my employees, and whoever else wants to join us - that Chubby Charmer tote bag!!  Sounds like fun & I could use a new work out bag!!  Hope you'll join us! It's Saturday from 10-4pm!  It's always fun in our classes!!  Will post photos of my project!!  Talk soon!  Have a great weekend!   Vicki

We received this new line of fabric from Moda: FRESH FLOWERS.  If this doesn't bring out the Spring in you...  The border is folded 'buds of flowers' mixed with triangle 'mountains'.  Such a fun table runner to do. Check our our website, and store to see more of this Springy line!  Susie

All New!!

I can't believe it's been more than a week since I last posted - promised myself that I would post weekly or more when setting this up - time flies when you're having fun!!  We have so much new stuff coming in this month!  A great new Chef line just got here, cute as the dickens, a bunch of new batiks, a lot used for our Block of the Month, but many were not, and more are coming!  Currently there are 6 boxes in the back to be checked in, so, guess we need to keep it going out the door just as fast - need to think about the next sale to get everyone back in here! 

At home I'm working on a quilt for my sister & brother-in-law in all flannels, it's fun to work with flannels I think!  I will have to post a photo of it once it's ready to be quilted which will be tomorrow I hope!  Also, working on a binding on a quilt for my niece - it's her birthday on the 23rd - better keep on stitchin'!!  Will check back soon!  Quiltingly,  Vicki

First Saturday 2011 is here!!

Wow - so hard to believe it's 2011 - what happened to 2010?  It was a blur!!  Now, comes the stress for me to get our new First Saturday up and running smoothly - there is a lot of planning going on here.  We had to get all our patterns ordered - but then of course, we will have to order more (good problem & not complaining!) I never order enough the first time, but that's part of it I've learned.  As for getting the fabrics when we need them, that's always another stresser for me - some of our beautiful batiks came in today & are ready to go, I have more (about 2 dozen) on their way from Kaufman, but they shipped today, so, probably not going to make it here Friday, but positive thinking here - maybe they will...also trying to get all hand-outs designed & copied, etc, etc, etc.  Really looking forward to this year though - we are going to take a different approach in teaching, & in our mystery quilt design - hope everyone is happy with it!!!  No, can't tell you here, would blow the surprise!  See you all Saturday!  Vicki
