Back from Spring Market

We just got back from Spring Market. Our heads are swimming with new ideas, new patterns, new fabrics & all sorts of other goodies. Market was wonderful & how nice to have it so close to home. There were about 2500 booths. Thank God for good shoes & Aleve!

We got to meet Carrie Nelson from Miss Rosie's Quilt Co., Edyta Sitar from Laundry Basket Quilts, Camille Roskelley from Thimbleblossoms & her mom, Bonnie Cotton from Cotton Way, Joanna Figueroa from Fig Tree Quilts & so many more! All of the designers are so sweet and wonderful people. It's nice to realize that they're just normal people like the rest of us, but we still love them more than they know.

Since we've been home, we rearranged the store. We are still trying to get used to the new layout but agree it was time for a change.

Stop in this week for our sale to make room for everything we ordered at Spring Market. Select bolts of fabric, patterns, books and notions are on sale! Sale begins today and goes through the rest of the week. Just remember the shopping mantra: "If you don't buy it today, it may not be here tomorrow."

We're blogging!

For those of you that know me - you know that I only know enough about computers to be dangerous! So, you'll have to bear with me as I figure out this blogging thing. Thank God that I have kids that are up to speed on this stuff. It may take me a while to type these out, I can talk a whole lot faster than I can type (My dad told me that I was vaccinated with a phonograph needle - isn't he cute!!)

I hope to be sharing some pictures of projects that are in the works, new fabrics & classes that we are doing here at Cottonpickers and of some of the quilts that you bring into the shop. We get to see some of the most awesome quilts from our customers. This truly is the best job in the world!! You ladies inspire me soooooo much! Now, if there were only more hours in the day to keep up with all those UFO's. Sleep isn't as overated as I thought it was at one point.

Have a wonderful Monday! Beth
