A Peek at my "Office" aka the Dining Room

In the corner, I have 3 computers set up... only using 1, you understand, but I really had to get started on the POS set-up on those computers...

Lots of fabric is still at the distributors... just waiting for me to give them the word to deliver... and I think that will be late next week!!

The floor was supposed to be finished today... I'll go tomorrow to check it out... and then the molding and a little touch-up painting... I have cleaning tentatively scheduled for Wed evening!!

The shop will look way better than this... promise!! :)

My RT Tulip #1

Ricky Tims calls this his Chantelle Tulip... but I think I'll name mine the RT Tulip... and this one is #1... I somehow think there will be more as I play with this technique a bit!!

I love it... no rulers.. no templates... gentle undulating curves....

I'm in LOVE!!

LOL friends... I knew that would get your attention!!

I think I love Ricky Tims!!

I told you about the Convergence Quilt... that was fun...

But last night I decided to try Ricky's Quilting Caveman Style... unfortunately, I started that at about 10pm... so at 3am (!) I finally forced myself to go to bed!! My first little Chantelle top was finished... including the "wonky" borders...

So this morning (yes, I did get up at regular time!), I layered it and got the backing on... now all I have to do is quilt it!!!


I'll try to get some pics up this evening...


oh... and I went out to the shop yesterday -- they'd started laying the floor... should be finished with that this afternoon... then the floor molding and a bit of paint... and I think we'll have access early next week!!!

Bloom Magazine Advertisers Sale

The kids and I went to the Convention Center today for this sale sponsored by Bloom Magazine. It was pretty cool! Businesses who have advertised in Bloom Magazine during the year were invited to participate.... next year Shiisa Quilts will be among that group!

We did a little Christmas shopping and enjoyed looking at all the items that were for sale. Prices were GREAT!!

And... if you've never seen Bloom Magazine, you're really missing out! It's a top-quality publication that looks like NYC or Paris -- but it's about Bloomington!
