Kini and I had a great time in Oslo. Her checkup was good, she gets better every year. She still has to go back in the fall to do her new allergy tests, since she's on medication during the pollen season, so we get another road trip in October :) The wholesaler we visited had a wonderful location in a warehouse on an old farm on top of a hill, I know I should have taken more photos, but I was all into the bolts and bolts of fabric (who can blame me for that?). We filled the car up with 72 bolts of fabric, 3 bolts of batting, some quilt hangers and two new patterns. More fabric is ordered, and will be at the shop in August. Most of the bolts I got yesterday is from the Jinny Beyer Palette, I will carry the whole series, but they didn't have all the colours in at the moment. Today I received a shipment from another supplier with Moda Marbels, and a few other bolts. Now I need to get some novelty prints and fun stuff. My mom and I will be traveling to a third fabric supplier next Tuesday, and hopefully my car will be full again LOL.

I'm following your 'going into the quilt business journey' with anticipation and excitement. How much fun you must be having! Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Christmas to me!!!What fun!
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH!!! What fun! I wish I had that much fabric in my van! I'm so excited for you, I just wish I could come see the shop in person! Maybe someday I'll just have to hop on a jet and come on over! :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, it is so much fun following the progress on your quilt shop! It must be a riot putting it all togehter, picking out all the different fabrics and bits and piecies. Best of luck doing everything!
ReplyDeleteNow you are busy busy busy with all your fabric bolts and patterns. When do you plan to open. I think we may come and see you when we are going north on summervacation. Or when we are comming home

ReplyDeleteA trip to the fabric retailer sounds like a treat and I can see it was from what you bought! I am glad your daughter is doing well. Don´t forget to have some breaks in all the excitement and take care.
ReplyDeleteYou must be having so much fun picking out all the fabrics! I love seeing them all stacked there on your new shelves. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteAre you in fabric heaven yet? Oh my, what fun you must be having!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the store it coming along very nicely. I bet it is so much fun to shop for "bolts of fabric" instead of "meters of fabric" Enjoy!
