Fabric, fabric, fabric..... and more fabric....!

Yesterday, my business partner and I met the Moda sales representative and bought our first batch of bolts. How overwhelming!

When we arrived at our appointment, we were greeted by a bag lady! lol You should have seen the bags filled with samples of the various lines available. We began with Moda, which as you know I am such a Moda girl. Next was Island Batiks, RJR, Henry Glass, Maywood Studio and finished with Windham Fabrics. There were lots of fabric fondling! lol

There is much to learn when you open a quilt shop. Firstly, you're always buying ahead and never for the now, which means, that many of the collections will only be arriving in July onward. We did purchase some bolts that are "now" deliveries, but nothing that will fill our shop to it's capacity. As Jennifer said, "we'll just do some creative decorating!" lol

Of course, spring market it coming, which means that we will meet again with the Fabric sales rep to purchase future lines of fabrics.

This meeting lasted close to 5 hours. It certainly didn't feel like it! Time just flew! But gosh, were we mentally exhausted in the end.

Thanks for stopping buy and for accompanying me on this new journey! Cheers!
