Time keeps ticking by....
Tonight it seemed like we might see the end of the tunnel by our opening date of January 1! We got the cutting tables and check out counter finished this weekend, and the kitchen cabinet tonight (well except for the plumbing). Today we hung the slot board, and the notions and patterns hung on it. Getting those things up and off tables really helped. We also made tablecloths for our coffee area and covered the chairs for the coffee area to match.
Our 'hooky-dos" (as Belinda named them) came in today. We found them at market and they will hang from the black wood trim on the walls to hang quilts for display. And we used them to hang the new sample that Pat made for us - it's beautiful (made from Kansas Troubles' Wildflower II collection) and can't wait for you to see it. Marilyn and Janet also finished samples last week and they are now displayed also. It's really starting to look like a quilt shop!
Of course, just as we think we have all the fat quarters cut, bolts marked and on the shelf, a new shipment of fabric arrives. Today, Jody Barrows fabric line we will be using for our Square in a Square BOM arrived.
We also decided that we will carry Baby Lock sewing machines. We will be attending a sales training the first week of February (required before you can get any machines). Eleanor Burns and Nancy Zieman are spokespersons for Baby Lock. Some of us had the opportunity to sew on Baby Locks at market and just fell in love with them. We think you will too!
FYI: 10 days & counting!
