Tonight is the Fall Equinox, as we look forward to the changing of the seasons and more temperate weather.
It is appropriate that today we got our final Certificate of Occupancy which means we can now officially move everything to our GORGEOUS new building! The end of this week we have an army of professional movers swarming all over our warehouse to pack up and move all of our shelves and fabrics to our new home. We will get it done in just a few days so we can be up and running again with only a small hiccup.
As you can imagine, it was a very emotional day for us. We have built this new building from the ground up, and it has been a long winding path and a labor of love. I remember the day we first stood on the barren piece of land, and dreamed that we could have a new custom structure built here. How far we have come from our early days in the basement of our family home, and our first small warehouse that still smelled like mint tea from the previous tenant – Celestial Seasonings.
Yes we will remain open during our big move! Our offices are already partially moved, and we hope you will order this week’s new fabrics so you will be the first to receive them when our cutting and shipping departments spring back into action. Dana has worked with several charity quilt guilds around the country to distribute all the boxes of scraps we needed to donate before our big move. Many thanks to all the quilters who plan to make comfort quilts from these donated fabrics!
Only 2 weeks until MJ Kinman comes to teach her ‘Treasure Hunting’ Gemstone Quilt class. Snag a seat in our NEW CLASSROOM to learn how to make your own pieced GEMSTONES and BIRTHSTONE quilts!
If you follow me on Facebook you saw lots of photos of the airy new classroom with big windows, during our 6 days of workshop with Betty Busby. I’ve just uploaded a timeline of photos about the building and our first messy happy workshop in the new classroom – enjoy!
I hope you will come and PLAY with us in our new space very soon…which will include a tour of our new space.
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
Luana and Paul
