JULY 2011

Well we have been at it now for over one month. We opened the store on June 3,2011 for the Cars and Crafts weekend here in Caro. Our inventory was limited. Now we have a better inventory, but we still need more! It has been difficult to just get the fabrics in as ordering is done so far in advance, but I think we are getting better at understanding the system.

Mr Catty Wampus himself (Murphy) at his store!

We have had a lot of community support and we are selling things more regularly. Its a process!  These are photos of our store; inside and out. We have added more fabric since these were taken and the long awaited Mettler thread has finally arrived;(yesterday) and we got some of the Moda jelly rolls and layer cakes.We just got in the JANOME sewing,quilting and embroidery machines as well.

Murphy has LOTS of friends; there are people who just come in to SEE HIM! LOL!!!!
We really have very nice customers; many are becoming family! Jim's mom Lila; she is 83!!! She made the quilt above from Bali Pops jelly roll strips and quilted it herself on a normal sewing machine!
