Now here are the various tans with reds and a little tone on tone tan…I really can’t wait for these to come to my door in a couple of weeks…I won’t even care that we have to probably stitch all day and night to get the quilts done that I have planned for them.

Thanks to all who came to the Schaumburg show…we had a great time and a wonderful show..thanks to you all…I seen a lot of my friends who have stayed at “my” Gathering house and have met even more new quilters…”welcome” to primitive gatherings…glad you stopped in our booth..

now…a little secret news…We are REMODELING the shop!!!   sometime next week…not this week…but next we will be tearing out the “teal”carpeting in the 1st section and counter area in the store…besides the updated carpeting …we are getting a new counter area and center display table from Dale and Sharin, from Natural Encounters.  We are getting lots of cubbies and will turn this area into our new WOOL section, you will walk into an abundance of wool, just starring at you begging you to take it home with you…then we will proceed to finish the whole store a section at a time to finish the new carpet, paint and sprucing up…I have to confess that the carpet in the store has to be about 40 years old??? eeeww…yuck…and it is so durable and stain resistant I can say since owning the store…I have never shampooed it!!! double yuck…but out with the TEAL carpet…it is time..

now the crappy news–we have to somehow work all around this…we will try to keep the store open and as much stuff “for sale” as possible ….but please be patient with our “mess” as it will be well worth it in the end….. you will have to enter through the back door and navigate both floors to see it all…I will update all of this info when we know more and have the plan in tact…but thought you might want to be in the know…all for now…have a great Sunday!!!

ps..i found this on pinterest….this is EXACTLY how i feel today…can you say nap?
