Wanna See?

We just have to post a few more pics of the new shop. We are ready to open tomorrow, August 8 at 10 a.m. We are thrilled with the results of the many hours of work. And we are thankful to all the people who have helped us along the way!

Almost Ready

We are almost ready in many ways at Quilter's Garden & Sassy Sisters. Beth & Carol are getting ready to go to Quilt Expo in Madison, so there are many new samples in the shop. Our top sellers are the Shannon Cuddle quilts. You might want to give them a consideration for quick and easy Christmas gift giving. We are also ready for Garden Club next week. BTW, have you been wanting to join the club? September starts our new year for club. Why not visit in August to see what all we do and consider joining us? You have been invited!!!!
Also, the new shop is very nearly ready to open. We didn't get the photo posted a couple weeks ago after the carpet was installed. Sorry bout that! But, the change is now very dramatic. Clothing is everywhere! We have been having a blast unpacking garments each day! We are aiming for August 8 to open, so watch for the posts!

Three Days Ago

We didn't get it done earlier this week, but wanted to share three days ago in Sassy Sisters. Carol and Beth have been spending late nights painting right after the carpenters complete each part of the work. The door is laying on the floor and the painted trim is almost ready to be installed. Check back later today as you will be amazed at the transformation that was completed with carpet laying yesterday!

Progress Continues

Whew! The doorway between our current and new building is now framed in. We love seeing the daily progress. We will be painting the fitting rooms soon. See the slatwall stacked in the middle of the room? That will be on all the walls soon. Oooooh! Can't wait to see how this all comes together! The clothing and jewelry is even starting to arrive! We love seeing the items coming in and ooh and aah just like we hope you will! Keep posted.......

Oops, sorry we forgot to post the pics!

Sassy Sisters Progressing

Things are really happening at Sassy Sisters. Will we be open by August 1? We sure hope so! The doorway between the two buildings will be open by this evening. Can you believe the carpenters are working their way through 5 layers of bricks? Sounds crazy, but it's true! What was once a kitchen is now fitting rooms. Some painting and a few more minor fix-it projects are all that is needed before the carpet is installed. Stay tuned........

Day 1-Salt Lake City

WOW! What a market! The market is 29 aisles long. We just barely got through it at 6:00 PM. We saw soooooooo much that it is hard to know where to begin. We have seen lots of stitchery and applique. We are very excited about a stitchery BOM from This N That that we purchased. We have seen lots of tote bags and when I get back to our room, we will begin the process of narrowing it down. Of course we were wowed by the Shannon booth. They did not disappoint us. They were even showing rugs made out of the Shannon Cuddle fabric! The colors on the floor seem to be much brighter. We did see a beautiful Civil War line. It is done by Wilmington. It had some beautiful blue tones in it. Tonight we went to the Moda party. It is always quite a spread of food. The topping to our meal was a Russian Custard. It was so good that Beth talked the waiter into having two servings! I am not joking! Be sure and ask her how the dessert was. I'm going to Google that recipe when I get home. Well, I better get back up to the room to start the process of looking over everything we saw today. It is a tough job, but someone has to do it!

TTFN,

Carol
