DAY 6-FABRIC BOARDS
Thank you all for the kind words yesterday…I appreciate the fact that you all appreciate how hard I really work…I know I have sometimes been accused of working too much, but when you have 40+ persons relying on you for their income, its a lot of pressure…The good thing is..is that I LOVE what I do, so it’s easy for me. There were no snarky remarks yesterday so hopefully they got the hint, with your help no doubt…so I will post more about the Lakehouse….
Now back to the fabric boards…
You are really going to LOVE/need this product or you will not. If you have a COLLECTION of fabric, (you never say stash by the way…) these are for you. I have used these boards for years to display my fabrics for easier accessibility, but when I ran out and reordered them the company that sold them never filled my order…
I need black and it was a special order…I mean I ordered 500, just like my first order, so I don’t know why if wasn’t filled but after about 9 months of waiting…I decided we will make our own. (as you can see I did not take the time to make it look perfect on the shelves, I don’t have that obsession, so showing you them this way is just fine with me…we use these fabrics… it’s not just for show, so they are forever being picked and pulled on and off the shelves.) So that’s the back story on why we are selling fabric boards. They do not have the tabs to hold the fabric, because I didn’t use them, they made big bumps in the roll and they weren’t necessary, so why put them in our boards. They also fit better on the shelves without the tabs being used. Our boards are only half the price of the company I was buying them from. They come in black or white, and black is not a special order from us…we do not discriminate here. We see the need for both colors…If you have a special request like blue…we probably could do that too and it wouldn’t take nine months…I really, really try to support other companies and form relationships with them, but sometimes they make it impossible.
I would say you can roll from 3/4 yd to a whole bolt on these boards. When you come home from the quilt store you would fold your fabric in half, to about 11″ and then roll it on the board. (this is taking in account that your fabric is already folded from when it was cut from the bolt) We fold and and then pin the end…just like in the quilt store!!! I even label my boards with their fabric numbers. 
The boards are $30 for 24 of them. But for this special they will be $24 for 24 so $1 each. You order in multiples of 24. So if you order 3 in the cart you will be getting 72 boards. FABRIC BOARDS
If you didn’t notice a lot of the items this year have to do with organization. I am starting to go through and organize and purge almost 20 years of stuff in my sewing studio at our Menasha home ( there will be some give-aways, good for you…and me)…I strongly believe in spending $$$ on things to help organize…we feel better when things aren’t a mess, when we can see what we are looking for or know exactly where they should be…saves time and sanity!!!
Today’s a short post….lots to do..only 6 days til Christmas.
Please remember to leave a comment( if you are running out of things to say… tell me how long you have been quilting and why you started)…remember to add HOLD to your order comment section if you want it held!
House pic of the day…made it before dark yesterday and was greeting with this amazing site..my kitchen & living room hardwood floor is A-mazing!!! I show a better close up when I’m not getting in their way.
Remember to have a good day…I believe it 90% up to us to decide whether we are going to have good day or not!!! LB
