I managed to write a site plan, something I had never dreamed I would need to learn to do in my life! lol It had to be submitted last week, in time for the Plattsburgh zoning board meeting. Because the shop will be located on a "State" highway, we must have the authorization from the County. Anyway, the meeting was attended by members of the zoning board of Rouses Point and all is in order for that part. Next step, the Rouses Point Zoning meeting!
I thought I would share with you a photograph of where the shop will be located.
Meet the future site of Fibre Junction - A Quilt Shoppe.
We are the middle part of the building, ground floor. We're occupying 2 (two) spaces.
As you can see, the building is quite old, as are most of the structures in that area.
Before our lease begins, major exterior work will be done. All the trims and doors will be repainted or replaced. The building will have a fresh new look!
I just love that lamp post!
Our landlord, Jacquelyn, is quite supportive and a beginner quilter herself.
The town is just buzzing with the news of a quilt shop, which makes it so much more fun to plan.
Thanks for stopping by and accompanying me on my new adventure.

New Blog... New Venture....!
I want to share with you some exciting news. You know how I have been saying that I just cannot seem to get much quilting done and where does the time go... etc? Well.....I have been pre-occupied with a future project along with other things I might add!
I am making the plunge and opening a quilt shop along with my business partner and friend Jennifer. It's quite the undertaking and we have yet to settle on the legality of it all. Who would have known the numerous steps required for such a venture.
And while there are still many steps before the doors are officially opened, we are slowly climbing them , one step at a time.
I enjoyed reading Anne Heidi's adventures into opening a quilt shop Lappe Mor and I hope you will enjoy reading about mine!
Stay tune for news about Fibre Junction - A Quilt Shoppe.
Thanks you for accompanying me on my new venture! Cheers!
