What To Do With 600 Quilts....

 

I seem to have a bit more time on my hands now and with that time I am concentrating  putting my quilting ducks-in-a-row.  Meaning, I plan to do more quilting, both in design and in actual stitching.  For the past fifteen years it’s been about the shoppe and/or the magazine and getting those patterns published.  It’s time for me to do more of what I want to do than what I have to do.  Now don’t get me wrong, I love what I do but……well…..I want to take it a step farther. I want to explore my options.  I want to quilt for myself.  Selfish as that may seem it’s what I want to do.  I want to take my time and make something fantastic, creative and without a deadline. Something special, challenging and just for me.

 

Now that our shoppe has closed and I am totally overwhelmed with how many quilts I actually have, I’ve opened a store on etsy.  I’m slowly listing some of the 600 or so quilts I’ve managed to make over the years that were in books, magazines, newsletters, store samples or quilts I just had to make.  If you’d like to visit my shop the address is   https://www.etsy.com/shop/VillageQuilt

I’ve also sorting a stack of quilts for my favorite charity, Genesys Health Foundation, I haven’t forgotten them.  I owe them so much.

I will also be adding some of my patterns as PDF downloads in the coming months to the etsy store along with rebuilding our shoppe website.  It’s a work in progress.  As I’ve mentioned before, computers and I are not on the best of terms.  I choose to think it has to do with my age or maybe that I tend to be creative more that technical, so bear with me. 

If you have suggestions about… What to do with 600 quilts, I’m all ears.  I'm interested in your opinion.   Feel free to leave a comment. Let me know what you think.  What you’d like to see me address on this blog.  I want to craft a site for quilters about quilters.  A place to sound off, get information, share information and of course be inspired.  

 

After all, It Takes a Village…
