We're Starting to Look Like a Quilt Shop! :)
Chris, Bonnie and I were at the shop for a few hours yesterday morning... sorting through boxes and fabric and deciding which samples to make...
We also decided to get a bit of a display in the window -- just so passers-by would be able to see what's coming!!
The display is set up on an antique day bed from China... about 120 years old... and if you look closely, you'll see that the front legs of the bed are a pair of shiisa!! Very cool, huh?
This quilt on display is a kimono quilt that my Mom made for me -- all hand quilted... really lovely!! Thanks, Mom!!
What do you think??
Tomorrow: Horn cabinets arrive!!
If you're in the area, stop in and see us... but be warned... we just might put you to work!! :)

A Very Busy Week Ahead!!
Tomorrow is the beginning of a very busy week!!
On Thursday, we moved the fabric and furniture from my house to the shop. The phones and internet are in... and tomorrow we (as in the Shiisa Quilts staff!!) begin working on getting the shop set up!
I gave MediaWorks approval for the logo and got the sign ordered... also ordered biz cards and stationery... and Eric is making great progress on the website!
Monday, we have a virtual training on Bernina's My Label software.
Tuesday, I have a phone conference with MicroSolve to move forward on the point of sale system.
Wednesday, the Horn of America cabinets will arrive!!
Friday (I think), the Bernina machines and software will arrive!!
And... everyday holds the promise of shipments of fabrics and notions!!
I hope to have gift cards available before Christmas, but if we don't have them, we'll make sure that you can get a gift certificate for your favorite quilter!!
