My mother always said “Be careful what you wish for, you might get it!” Since opening Lee Anthony Fabric last year, I have heard “I’d love to work in or own a fabric shop” at least a hundred times…exactly what I said for years. Now Lee Anthony Fabric has been open for 18 months and I’m still glad I got what I wished for. The experience has been frustrating, stressful and tiring, but I’ve met many wonderful, friendly and generous people. It has driven my husband to distraction many times, but he has learned to cut fabric…I told him it is just like cutting a piece of plywood!
Now, my daughter, the designer of this web site and blog, tells me it is time to reach out to a wider group and spread the word about the quilt shop that “thinks outside the fat quarter!” Remember, I’m the person whose high school English teacher insisted on perfection, so written conversation is going to be a huge leap for me.
So, I hope you enjoy the conversation, quilt techniques and hints, pictures and experiences and hope you will share with us.
