This is Why I need some organization in my life

So I just realized I had this blog posted on my family blog-oops!

2 Blocks for Elaine

Heck Yes or Hell No!

This is the quilt top I created out of some of the blocks I received from our Virtual Quilting Bee-I have about 3 left that I want to use for another project. Anyways I finally finished the front today and wanted to whip up a back....I couldn't find a pattern that I wanted to use exclusively for the back and then I got caught up playing with fat eighths and then I thought I'd make a completely different quilt, but then I thought that I should finish one before starting another(I have about 3 half finished right now)...so do you think I could use these together front and back? And yes I know that was a huge run-on sentence I've had way too many lattes and capps today :)

Please let me know your thoughts....

Block #2 for Claire

This was my second attempt for the VQB Block for Claire. I really enjoyed making this one...once I got past the fact that blue and yellow were my high school colors(and funny enough Claire's as well....we both went to the same high school at different times-small world you say!) Headed out in the mail today.

Virtual Quilting Bee Block

Here's the block I whipped up at the store today...I like it...don't love it but it was a learning process...the fabrics came without a pattern just a block to reference...but it was fun once I finally decided to just cut the fabric and dig in!

Hmmm....I never even realized

So I am finally in the process of getting quotes to get our exterior signage done-I know I've been putting it off for WAY too long, but I haven't wanted to deal with the permitting. Anyways I was speaking with the guy who is going to be quoting me prices and I mentioned that I wanted to add a tagline to my graphic which I wanted 'Fabric for the MODERN SEWER' which I also have on an ad going out this week. Well he asked me how to spell sewer(someone that sews) and I proceeded to say S-E-W-E-R and then he asked me how to spell sewer(as in drain sewer that rats live in)...this is where I was stumped...really do I have advertising for Modern sewers(rat dwellings) all over????

So I've been trying to come up with another tagline that fits what I want to say, but I just don't feel like anything else has the same ring to it. Any ideas that anyone else has are greatly appreciated as well.

Fabric for the MODERN CRAFTER
Fabric for MODERN SEWING

I am also in the midst of a couple of other exciting ventures for my little store. One is possibly bringing on a very talented and knowledgeable fabric/sewing blogger to assist with the blog and/or website, I am looking at expanding/dabbling in bringing some yarn into the store. I've had so many people asking me about it and have recruited some of my customers to give me some ideas of what yarns they would like to see in the store, and I also hope to have some more project examples in the store soon since I have found a couple of great crafters that I'm in the process of asking to whip me up some great items.

Lastly I am so very excited that we are about to start our first Virtual Quilting Bee with me sending out the fabrics this week to the group(I jut have to get everyone's addresses first, so if you haven't sent them please do ASAP). There are just a few spots left so if you're interested let me know NOW!!!
