We were just talking at work yesterday about opening a donut shop. That had fresh donuts all day. LOL So funny that you brought that up. Donuts give me heart burn so don't have to worry about eating the profit.

QuiltingGrannie 06-07-2010 06:22 PM

My goodness, I had to work today and missed all the prep work for the fabric/donut shop! Whew!

But I'm off for the next three days, so will be at the grand opening.

Since I work at WM in fabrics I can handle the fabric portion of the new store.... How much would everyone like cut?

See you in the morning.....

Coffee by IV, donuts, muffins, fruit and tea should cover it for everyone????/

cjomomma 06-07-2010 06:56 PM

If I came to the US and just took awhile to get back to Canada do you think customs is gonna believe me when I tell them I was busy eating donuts, and drinking coffee in AK??? And that the reason my car was full of fabric is cause somebody forced me to buy it???

Do you think the boy's dad would believe me?

Highly doubtful, but worth a try I think!

Let me know when you are opening up.

Just tell them to measure your thighs and look in your wallet! :thumbup: Everybody knows, any smart donut eater is a fabric lover too! ;-)

Marsye, if you get an espresso machine I will make "coffee's" for everyone :wink:

lfw045 06-07-2010 07:15 PM

Hey Marsye, my first ever job when I was a teenager was shift leader at Dunkin Donuts........LOL!

dotcomdtcm 06-07-2010 07:19 PM

Designer donuts would be cool- you know Margarita Donuts,
Black Forest Donuts, Pina Colada Donuts, Dark Chocolate Donuts have to be 70% cacao.. groovey! The world seems to have peaked on cupcakes and fancy ice creams are already out there. So go for donuts. Yummo!

How about donuts with quilt designs on top?

hey, that's an idea...but we would cry while eating and get them all soggy...guess that's an idea,...but might not be a good one, lol! :lol:
I know...make two of each design...one to eat and one to ...save? oh, I'm such a fabicdonut-a-holic!
Got a support group for that?

cjomomma 06-07-2010 07:36 PM

Well if we don't eat them because of the design then we won't get fat or in my case fatter.

I guess it's a good thing I don't eat donuts. Who knew they bite back !!

Heh Marsye,
Thanks for the morning giggle..love this thread!!!! :-)

Fast or Slow - no other choices?

I like consistant and efficient. Everything's lined up ready to go through the machine at an Even Pace...don't want to do UNsewing.

Just a radio - NO tv - NO computer - heck sometimes I don't have a phone or a window!

quiltingfan 06-08-2010 03:42 AM

Is this donuts/ fabric shop will there also be a place to sit down and sew? that would be a great place to be with wonderful people that can help with all the rip, rip that I seem to be doing lately. Love the idea. I drink coffee and tea, so you would not have to place anything extra on the menu for me.

You know they have this wonderful kitchen utensil called a fork. Never get your fingers sticky again and enjoy the donut. Marsye maybe you better add an exercise room too.

dotcomdtcm 06-08-2010 04:52 AM

You eat a donut with a fork?

For this shop, we need a library where we can browse a big collection of quilting books & mags!

cjomomma 06-08-2010 04:54 AM

I do and pizza too. I know I'm strange. :/

cjomomma 06-08-2010 04:57 AM

Oh Wait I got an idea exercise machines with sewing machines attached to them. Keep the donut shop, fabric, coffee and tea and it will be the best LQS ever.

Funny you should mention WM fabric......donuts is not all you missed today!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I read the WM fabric thread, just didn't comment on it.
