Our 100th customer.

YEA!!!!! Our 100th customer, holding her "yea you're our 100th customer gift certificate" As, usual I didn't plan ahead enough to have horns, or balloons, or confetti or anything too exciting, but she did seem thrilled to have a gift certificate.
I was thrilled to have a 100th customer!

Yea, kids in the kids area.

My friend Tammie from MCG came into today and brought her girls with her. Yea, it was fun to have kids in the kids area. Here they are playing with the legos.

They wanted to pose as the knights. They made me smile.

Wow, it is amazing how word is getting around.

I got an email today for Margaret Hunt that is in my guild. She got a comment on her blog from Pat Sloan, because her book was pictured on the NBC Augusta interview. It is a little confusing post, but fun fun fun none the less. Check it out on Pat's blog.

A wonderfully busy day at the quilt shop.

Some, of our first customers today were a couple, where the husband told his wife about the quilt shop because then he could get a few hours on his motorcycle.....it was fun to get to talk to him about riding. I really enjoy being a quilter that also rides a motorcycle.
Here he is sitting on the "husband bench" reading one of our motorcycle magazines.


I asked Marie if she would kindly make a curtain for my office. I am really tired of the card board that had been up there. This is part of the "Rise and Shine" retro line. It makes me smile, it is good to have color in the office break room, because the walls are white.

Hard to tell in this picture, but the back is the chicken wire from the same line.

The sign guys were back today to paint the frame of the sign black. It turned out well.

One of the other things I got done this morning was to clean up my Mom's old sewing machine and move the thread to its new location. It is another thing that I am glad I have and can use in the shop.

New fabric.

Here's some of the new fabric we got in today. I ordered this at quilt market honestly I don't really remember ordering it, but I do love it. I must have been in a retro mood while in Houston. One of the jokes at the shop is how much pink I have in the shop. It is funny because pink IS NOT my favorite color, but I sure have a lot of it.
I need to have a "you're in the pink sale" or something.
I know you have seen the new sign, but here it is in the sun shiny weather.

NBC Augusta

Hey all here's the link to the segment on NBC Augusta.

I was so nervous I wasn't smiling at all. :-( Bummer.
I really do like owning and working at the quilt shop.

The new sign is here.

The new sign came today, the poor guys that put it up had to put it up while this storm started to brew. It was windy and again made me nervous to have guys on ladders with a big plastic sign....(at least there was no pickup truck involved)

Here's a peek from the window.

Look it is a quilted sign for a quilt shop.

Pretty bright at night.

Creative head wear.

Sami, being the creative girl that she is, made a rain hat out of one of the bags off of new bolts of fabric we got in today.

Hey check out the article in the Augusta Chronicle.

I tired to cut and paste the article, but it didn't really work out. So here's the link.

The scrap bins.

The old wash tub has turned into a great place for housing scraps and sale items. It has been fun to watch people dig through the scraps for treasures.

The wash board was a great find that Beth and I picked out the same day we picked up the grocery baggers cart. I love the "sign" is held on by clothes pins. It's the small things that makes me smile.


On Saturday Marie and I went through some of the inventory and rolled some fat quarters to add to the right side of the tub. So, all rolled fat quarters are $1.00. As in the scrap side there is a variety of FQ's Happy hunting!
