After being on this board and meeting all the nice quilters, I've decided that someday I want to own my very own quilt shop. It's just a dream of course, (well I think it is) but its been fun to think about. What do you think? Could I make this dream a reality? And of course it will need a name. My DH wants to call it "Material Things" . What do you think? My name is Leesa. I'm a country gal. Any more suggestions? (since its a dream, be inventive)

Ok, add a big screen room for the guys who might drive us to the classes :) I was going to say beer too, but that might be more difficult. In Massachusetts there is a brew bar that has an open space with a rug and rocking chairs. On Tuesday nights the guys come in to have a beer and watch TV and the ladies sit in the rockers, have a beer (or whatever) and knit! I think its sooooo cool!!!

Dreams can turn into reality if we work at them....keep dreaming, start working, and you may have your shop!!
How about 10,000 bolts of fabric in that shop? That's a BIG dream!! :-)

I think you have a great dream. While you're dreaming about your quilt shop why not do something constructive--take classes on how to start a business or something like that. I did the same in order to know how to go about selling the purses that I make. It was fun learning all about selling and marketing and I did have a measure of success. The hardest thing I learned (because it took a long time to realize) is that since it was my dream, if I didn't get off my butt, it would never have come true.
