New fabrics and a blogging buddy....!

It's so nice that fabrics are finally coming in. The Shoppe is slowly filling to capacity. We receive shipments at least once a month. It's like a monthly birthday, you know, the way Sharon Celebrates her birthday but the Shoppe does it all year long! lol

Last week I had a customer from blog land visit Fibre Junction. Denise, from the blog Denise (Noor) , who came all the way from Saudi Arabia, stopped by. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me! It's awful, but since I no longer study photography, I just don't remember to bring it with me. There was a time that I never left home without it! Anyway.... I'm digressing...!

It was wonderful to meet a fellow blogger. She came with her mom. We talked about other places she could shop hop in New York!

Thank you Denise for taking the time to stop by! It was great chatting with you!

On another note.....

The Moda Glace by 3 Sisters came in on Friday. What delicious fabrics!

I've already planned a quilt using those sweet holiday fabrics!

It's all so exciting at Fibre Junction! Fabrics that we ordered months ago are finally being shipped! Yahoo.....

Thanks for stopping by!

Buzzing along.....!

Business is moving along nicely at Fibre Junction. People are finding us despite the fact that we haven't done much advertisement. As Stephen would say, no sense advertising vaporware! lol That's a geek term for things that aren't, like a whole lot of talking with nothing to back it up with. Learn something new everyday! lol

Now that new fabric lines are coming every month, it would be a good time to place some ads in local newspapers. There is just so much to think about.

Speaking of fabrics coming in.....

The Moda holiday line, Figgy Pudding by Basic Grey came in last week!

What a delicious line of fabrics!

We loved it so much that we ordered the whole line! Yep, 40 bolts of fabric were delivered to the Shoppe last week!

What I like about that line is that it doesn't scream Christmas! The colours are just so sweet!

If you want to see the various fabrics in the line, you may check the Moda site here.

Aside from new fabric lines coming in, not much is going on! The Shoppe keeps me busy, that's always a good thing! Keeps me out of trouble! ;o)

Thanks for stopping by!

Fabric Shopping.....!

You know, fabric shopping for the shoppe is very different from a Stash Enhancing eXperience. I mean, it's not about you and your stash, but the shoppe's stash.

We met Cindy today and looked at all the new lines from Spring market. I must admit, I do enjoy it! However, I find it overwhelming at times.

Once we've gone through all the formalities, she starts with one textile company and Cindy lays everything down, line by line. Batiks and Moda's are separate from this pile.

This is what the table looks like with a couple of textile companies!

So, you slowly weed things out. A pile of what you like and don't like. Sometimes you buy a line, at other times you buy bolts that work well together.

Moda alone is overwhelming. The table is full of new lines and you work your way through!

All are so delicious! It's difficult to stay within our number of bolt quota. What I mean by that is that I do not want to become an over crowded shoppe. I like things tidy! ;o)

It's important for me to choose fabric that work well with what we have while staying with our Shoppe theme. Jennifer is the contemporary gal, and I'm the repro and folk art gal. Despite our difference in style, we have very similar taste! Makes for a great purchasing team!

Thanks for stopping by! I do hope you enjoy my journey as a Shoppe owner!
