Shoppe Tour....!

It's been a while, so I thought I would post some pictures of the Shoppe. The lay out is still the same, but the Shoppe has filled in nicely with new fabrics and samples.

So come on in! Make yourself at home! I hope your enjoy your visit!

The view as you come in!

Strange, but I haven't gotten tired of looking at the Shoppe.

There is something about being there that is comforting to me!

Look to the right!

This is the Big Sister! We have named some of our fixtures!

The Big Sister holds our Moda collections! I love Moda!

That rocking chair has been much enjoyed by many of our guests! It's quite comfy, so the husbands tell us! ;o)

Now towards the left, in the back of the room is our center shelving unit. We haven't come up with a name her yet despite the fact that they have been with us from the beginning!

They hold our reproduction fabric collections!


Center View!

That's were we keep our new reproduction collections when they first come in.

It's sort of the center fabric stage!

It presently holds some yummy collections that I will blog about later on!
Now the right side!

More reproductions!

If you look to the far right, that's where we have our Andover Jo Morton fabric collections! Jo has some wonderful fabrics!

For those interested, we do host Jo's Little Women' Club!

This is the Little Sister!

She hold more reproductions!

She was actually one of the first large fixture in our Shoppe.

The Big Sister came after her!

Yes, strange birth orders! lol

This is what is in between the Sisters!

It's a little section of samples as well as patterns & thread!

You can see my Women of Influence Quilt!

Let's walk over to the other side of the Shoppe!

That's more the contemporary side!

It's where we have our Batik collections as well as other more contemporary fabric lines.

The middle section is really not that contemporary. That's where we have the Japanese folk art and some Moda fabrics!

Meet the Red Headed Sister!

Unlike her other sisters who are make of Oak, she is made of Cherry wood!

She came much later! Stephen ran out of Oak wood!

You can read the story of the Oak here.

As you know from a previous post, she holds our blenders and other backgrounds that are not classified as reproductions.

Last, our wide back selection!

There you have it, a little tour of the Shoppe as of April 2010!

I do hope you enjoyed your visit!

A neglected blog....!

First, allow me to apologize for the long wait between post. I must confess, one of the issues I am having in regards to this blog, is my inability to write a creativity entry when it involves what "new fabrics" have come in. There's really only so much I can say! lol

Having said that, those that do want to know what has arrived in the "what's new" department, are encourage to become a fan on Facebook!

I think of Facebook as an elaborate texting service. I post a photo with a bit of text, and voila! The entry is done! It's a quick way for me to let you know what has arrived without the creative compositional blah blah. lol

But, for those that like my compositional blah, blah, I will make an effort to post more often! ;o)

On the Shoppe front, much has happened since the last entry of October 2009. So I thought I would post a few pictures.

The shoppe has filled up quite nicely.

This little cabinet is one that I take great pride! Well, for the record, I take great pride in the fabrics that the Shoppe carries, but this one is dear to my heart!

This little gem is full of reproduction backgrounds.

Many are what we call shirtings!

They are all so delicious!

We do have available fat quarter bundles of shirting. They are quite popular amongst our customers.

On the other side of the shoppe are our other backgrounds along with the blenders.

We have recently received some gorgeous new backgrounds from P & B textiles.

The Apple Cider collection is quite sweet!

I'm a firm believer that you can never have enough backgrounds! They are so essential to quilting!

If you look to the top right, we have some Aged Muslin from Marcus Bros Textiles.

What's really neat about the aged muslin is that both sides of the fabric is different. One side is darker than the other. It makes for some neat effects on a quilt!

For those looking to make a quilt with a somewhat masculine flare, we have a new fabric collection by P&B Textile called Zanzibar.

The colours are rich and sophisticated! A perfect collection for that special man in your life!

I hope your have enjoyed this up date!

Thank you for stopping by!

Yours in Fibre!
