It's finally here!
The spring issue of the Sampler Magazine
by American Patchwork and Quilting.
Why I am so excited?
Because the shop I work at for 18 years
was chosen to be one of the shops featured.
I had started the process of nominating
The Fig Leaf and many of the loyal
customers added their comments to get the
shop included.
The shop opened in 1982 and has
weathered the ups and downs of the quilting industry,
the economy and the whims and desires of quilters.
That's a great testimony of the shop and owner, the staff,
and the customers who have continued to call
the Fig Leaf their quilt shop of choice.
Take a look at the magazine and check
out the shop.
The magazine doesn't include a staff picture anymore
so I have.
That's me in the red.
We had a great time getting the shop all spiffed up and
looking it's best.
Several of the quilts that I sewed are included in the first photo.
Tah Dah!
Tah Dah!
One of the quilts that's highlighted used Kate Spain"s fabric, Good Fortune.
See it way in the back.
Congrats to the Fig Leaf for joining a list of
prestigious quilt shops.
If you're ever in the area stop by.
