Hi everyone! I just discovered this board today, and it looks like I'm going to learn a lot. My husband and I are in the process of opening a small quilt store, and I was searching the Internet for message boards in hopes of getting some additional ideas...I think I came to the right place. :)

Thanks for the warm welcome! The shop will be in West Branch (waving hi to Solon!). And also waving hi to SW Iowa (I grew up in Lenox).

Hello from Northwest Iowa, where we are having snow this morning. This is a great site, the members are so talented, and so willing to share. When will your shop open, and where are you located? Hope it is not too far off our route to visit family in Southeast Iowa. piecefully, the old one

Our shop will be in West Branch, just off 1-80 near Iowa City, and we're hoping to open by the end of May (earlier if at all possible).

I spent so much time on the site last night looking at everything here...so much information and so many beautiful quilts to look at. I am so inspired!

Oh awesome, yes you will definately be seeing me. Finally one so close, which for my DH is not a good thing, but for me...I am going to love it.
