Ah, to see and touch fabric! I love it.

Wonderful materials. Do they post to europ. Can not see info

Excellent place for you to network and shop! Love the fabrics of course.

Love those itty bitty towns. I had the pleasure of visiting Whitefish, Montanna and fell in love with the town. I would trade an itty bitty town for the likes of the D.C. metro area. You have quality of life in those itty bitty towns. There is no real quality to life around the D.C. and Baltimore beltways. Embroidering gives me a touch of real living and I can close out the insanity of the area. :) Enjoy your new store!
