Open Sew for Liz B Quilting

Moving Day for Liz B Quilting!!!

Moving Day for Liz B. Quilting!!! Setting up machines today...cabinets tomorrow...working on Mon at the new shop!!!

Busy Weekend, Now Time to be the Boss!

I had a great weekend!  Since I am working hard on my quilts I have to be longarmed and all the preparations to open the new shop...I decided to take it easy this weekend!

I made this swoon block:

 

 

I also made this quilt I designed...I wrote it up to get to my Mom (my tester).  I know it is a very simple quilt, but maybe people who just want to get something done quickly for a gift might like it...It only took me about 4hours and I was writing up the instructions as I went...

 

 

However, now it is Mon morning and back to the grind!  Sometimes it is hard to be the boss (and the only employee)...I am not feeling 100% today and pushing myself to get things done!  My sinuses are sore with allergies and I kinked my neck by sleeping wrong last night.  The good news is that there is always lots to do!  Not feeling up to longarming...spending today taking care of paperwork...got my permit for my new location and made this snazzy flyer for quilt guild tonight!

 

 

Did it two to a page to save paper and money : D...  I'll keep you posted on the progress!!









Getting the Floors Done Today!!!

And here comes the floors!!!

After this dries, we can hang the wall base and then....(drum roll please)...I can move in!!!  Whooo hooo!

My New Shop is Coming Along....

Well, it is going way slower than I had hoped, but still not too bad...I hatched this crazy idea only a few months ago...it took me several weeks to find the space and now several weeks to get the walls and floor done, but yay got the walls painted!  So excited! 

It looks like I am going to have a Grand Opening around May 17 & 18.  I am going to have lots of cool stuff going on - obviously the longarm will be running, but I am also an authorized Electric Quilts (EQ ) 7 dealer, so I will have that up and running to see how it works, I'll some some notions and maybe a little project or something going on...of course I will have food!  Can't wait!!!

Here is the new wall color...I'll keep you posted on the progress!

New Expansion to My Business!

It is official this week I got my samples from Sew Batik.  I will be offering these beautiful batiks as backing fabric...I will also be selling it to those who would like to buy it!  I am soooo excited - these samples are absolutely beautiful!  They come in 108" lengths and have edges that can be trimmed off and used as borders or you can use it as it is and they become the borders (on two sides- and you can sew them on the other two sides - although us longarmers do NOT like to center backings). 

I am also offering another collection of theirs, but I can get any of their fabrics that you want.  As business goes on I will have more samples to choose from : D.

I am also offering Quilter's Dream Batting!  I can get any of their battings, but will be stocking their polyester - Puff;  their 100% cotton - request, select and deluxe; their black polyester and their 70/30 blend.  I have samples for you to look at when you come to drop off your quilt.
