Holy cow! How cool is this? We just received a copy of ‘Quilt Mania’ and were so surprised to be a feature in there. They came by right before Quilt Market, and loved our little store! They took pictures and talked to us, but we really had no idea they were actually going to put us in the magazine!!
So much fun! The article is so fun to read, and it’s great to see how the shop has changed so much already! (well, we did move down the street, you know)
Look how cute Amy and David Butler are!!
While we were at quilt market (this last spring, in Kansas City) we got wind of a new magazine coming out! It’s called ‘Generation Q’ and it a fun little size, with great projects inside! We flipped through it and were THRILLED to see that we were included in it also! We were listed as one of the top 25 online quilt stores!! No way? Us, in little old Hamilton?!?! We couldn’t believe it!
It still boggles my mind, to be included in something as big as a magazine. Dreams are being made all over the place, here!
I have two extra copies of the new ‘Generation Q’ that we want to giveaway!! Leave a comment by Friday and I will pick a winner then (with the help of random.org)
I hope you are all having a lovely summer!! We are roasting here in Missouri, but enjoying it anyway! 🙂 Talk to you soon!
I am still reeling over the amazing turnout we had for our Grand Opening! What a special day for us! We feel so supported and loved by our community, both local and online! Thank you is just not enough, to express our gratitude to you all!
I want to tell you a little about our last week and a half! So….
Remember that time our family was going to go to the lake for some much needed relaxation!? Well, we did! We had a wonderful time! Our 4th was fun, we had a little family talent show that was hysterical and the fireworks on the lake was a blast to watch!
However, the very next morning (around 3am) I was awake and in so much pain I couldn’t sleep! It was awful, and since we were 2 hours away from the hospital, we decided I needed to get there asap! The ride there was so painful, but once I got to the hospital, it didn’t take long for them to determine I need to have my appendix removed! Ouch! What a way to end our vacation! So, I had surgery Thursday and was able to come home late Friday afternoon!
I wasn’t home from the hospital more than a half hour, when my husband and brothers (Al and Dave) started loading the trailer to move our house! One load down only 2-3 more to go! 🙂
Overwhelm was beginning to set in.
It didn’t take long and we were back in Hamilton for the night, getting ready to set up my house and prepare for the grand opening!
The week leading up to the big party was busy-busy! We had inventory to be counted, setting up displays, pricing and making sure we’d have enough of everything for the big day! There were late nights that lead into early mornings. We even had a few dance parties in the mix! 🙂 (Yes, we are the kind of people that turn up the music and dance, while we label, decorate and cut fabric!!) It’s true!
Fun new fabric!
Saturday morning, we still had a few things left to do. I got a call from Alan that said…’I don’t think anyone is coming! There are no lines outside the door.’ He was joking of course, but we really had no idea what to expect!
Then one by one, car load by car load they came! The store was filling up fast! So many wonderful friends from far away came to see us! I WAS SO AMAZED!!! It was such a sight! We had people from Texas, Florida, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Colorado and many other states!!
We were just thrilled by the love that we felt from all of you! We couldn’t be happier about the whole weekend! Thank you- Thank you!
We had the best day, and it was all possible because of you! We couldn’t be happier with the way things turned out! Thank you all, for the support, the love and the encouragement!
We really are blessed to be doing something we love, and enjoying it in the process!
I’ll be back Monday with more details and some news!
