"My" website is now online! I've spent the past three months getting the local quilt store's website ready to go online and it's finally up and running! I used a service for this one called LikeSew and it was a great way to go. Check it out when you get a chance http://www.cabinquiltsandstitches.com/

I did all the extra things like the things made with the font called Chocolatebox like the buttons and titles, and all the photography for the store, and all the listings. It was quite a project! Hope you like it! Jan

Thanks, Chris! That is a little watermelon dress. Too cute. I think we need more little boy things up. I wish she had more light in the children's corner so the photos were brighter...

Congratulations!!
I've visited the website - it's attractive, clear and very user-friendly - and, of course, wish I could visit the store and the area for real....... with a few hundred dollars. I know I'd never escape without a very big shopping bag full of goodies.

Thanks, Alma! I wish you could come too! You could stay at my house and see the moose out my windows. Then we could go down in town and have lunch and visit the quilt store together. it is packed with fabrics and goodies that make me drool.... Wish you Could come.... maybe some year?

Thanks, bumblebee! I still think the photos would look better with more light in the store, but that is how it is in there, there is lots of wood, and it's packed with stuff. Thanks for visiting and the great review! The more traffic the better!

Thank you, sewmom! We traded - I did the webwork and she is going to quilt my kingsized Ohio Star quilt! Plus I now have a nice gift certificate to use over time. Too bad, though, no one else likes all that stuff in the store, except me - he he he.

Thanks, that is just what the owner wanted it to be! Originally she wanted it to have a French Country theme, but I had no idea what that would be - LOL, She loved the red and white. I didn't like it at first, but it has really grown on me. It's hard to figure out and fulfill someone else's idea.

I WISH it were my store! Ha - It's probably worth a couple of million dollars. IT has Vera Bradley and jim Shore, Romero Britto gifts too along with tons of really nice fabrics. I can't imagine what she has in inventory! I really can barely afford to shop there. I would love for you to come visit from Australia. you can stay in my guest room!

Why don't you jump on a plane and come out for a visit, Vicki? Then we could go for lunch and then go down to the quilt store for a visit..... and then we would do some designing, and play with kitties, and do some quilting.... and....

Hi, I'm sorry, I don't have any of my designs there. It's just a website I did for someone else. I convinced the local quilt store owner she "needed" a website, found the right content management system and then helped her get it all designed, photographed, and then up and running. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for checking it out!

You ALL made me feel soooo good about the website! It has taken lots and lots of hours away from embroidery, but it has been a challenge and a great learning experience too. A lot for this 61 year old brain - LOL. I wish you ALL could come visit Grand Lake. You are invited. I have a little guest room where you could stay, and if more come we can just fill up the couches and the floor. I'll make waffles and we'll shop at the quilt store. Maybe the moose will stop by, and I'm sure my kitties will enjoy the company! Thanks for all your nice comments - You're the best!

Ahhhhh! Thanks! When you come see your family we will have to make arrangements - I'd love to take you to lunch - or have you here for lunch! It's not that far, and it's a good big loop drive for the day!

A great looking website and a lovely shop. You did a great job.

I noticed that on the home page the last two quick links (Signature Designs and Holiday Fabrics) don't work. Once you are on a page of one of the others, all work correctly.

Thank you sooo much for telling me this, the quick links has given me more problems than anything, it's something in the html code. I'll fix that. Thank you for visiting!
