    I started very small and all I had was a bit of fabric in a shoe box and I only buy on sale unless I am gushing about a specific fabric and my sweetheart says "go ahead and buy what you want" I am very frugal...very frugal!
    Have a wonderful Christmas

    Looks like you have your own quilt shop going there. The display is very pleasant to look at and must be a pleasure to work with. Excellent job.

    2 QUESTIONS: CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE "SIGN MATERIAL"
    ( HAD BEEN THINKING OF USING FOAM FILLED BOARD )? & WHERE CAN I FIND "BOLT BUDDIES"?

    NICE ORGANIZATION! ONCE I START GETTING SHELVING - WILL BE ABLE TO EMPTY THE FIVE TRUNKS & 6 LARGE PLASTIC TOTES SO I CAN SEE WHAT I HAVE TO WORK WITH.

    THANKS YOU!

    I went all around looking for the coroplast boards. I found one sign shop willing to sell me a sheet for 115 dollars. NOT in my life time. So, I got foam core. I am going to give it a shot and see how that works. Its going to snow this weekend so, i'll be stuck in the house and it'll be a good thing to do. thanks for the idea of doing this to my stash too.

    I'm using the foam board from my local craft store. Able to cut it with an exacto knife. It works great! I'll load pictures as soon as I'm done with the last little batch.
