It has always been my dream too. I have this dream of a victorian house, bed and breakfast, along with a big barn
converted as a quilters retreat haven. I also, wanted to own
a fabric store, it is my dream, I have all the ideas, just no
money. There is a little store down the street to rent...
ha ha, $3000. a month to rent. Yeah, we could make that
work. One thing is you have to have either one floor, or
have a way for people to get up stairs. I think that is so
important, too many people have stair issues these days,
and deters them from even entering places.

Sounds like a great dream. Can your area support a quilt shop?I live in a city with 45,000 people and both shops have closed. One was due to finances and not sure about the other one. Hope your dream comes true and good luck.

Sweet dreams! Before you lock into a name for your quilt shop, Google it. If there is already a business or website with that name, pick another name. You will want to have a website, even if you don't sell anything on it. It's a great place to post class schedules, pictures, directions, etc.

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)
