mountainmanda Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 looking back at what i had then and what i have now is so much fun for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmanda Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 this space was a realty office before i got it so everything is divided into sections. It works for the store thus far! I put Precious in the conference room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmanda Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 this section was originally as you see it, now this is full of flannels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmanda Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 ok I won't bore you any further with my pictures! I am just so proud of my shop. I have to say I have rearranged the 'corners' several times since these were taken and have received in about 50 more bolts of fabric. I am just starting out with everything for the moment so inventory is limited at this time. Take Care! Manda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GERRY Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Great shop Manda: There should be a beautiful quilt on every wall, so you can show case the quilting you do. My parents are dutch so in our house there wasn't a wall that wasn't covered with something, plank spaces are a waste of retail space. My 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlene Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Very nice, I enjoyed "visiting" your shop. It looks like you have some good lightening. Nothing worse than going into a shop and not being to see the fabrics well. Good luck, Charlene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizziesgirl Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Cute shop. Please keep showing pictures. I have a very small quilt shop also and love to see ideas. My shop building is only 12 by 24 but packed to the gills and the community is very supportive. My Lizzie is in the house which connects to the shop with breeze ways.

mountainmanda Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I am located in Silver Cliff Colorado, just northwest of Laveta where Ricky Timms is located. NOPE, i haven't had the opportunity to visit Laveta and I could just kick myself for it. Gerry-much has changed in the decorating aspect of the shop since i got my Precious! I practice on muslin and fabrics in the store and am using those as wall hangings and sell pieces! I completely understand what you are saying, any unused space is space going to waste! Thanks for all your input! I'll update ya'll with what it looks like now in a few. Happy Quilting! Manda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountainmanda Posted September 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Myrna-Can't wait to see u 2, girlie! Barb-the only thing that comes before my quilting and my shop is my family! I received my Millie-aka Precious-about a month ago, I have already been commissioned to make 3 quilts-start to finish-and quilt 19 tops from one woman in a nearby town. She knows that I am a beginner and sat with me for a few hours and we just hit it off! The rest is history! Take Care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLRtoQuilt Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Manda, Your shop is wonderful, can't wait to see the new pics of it now. I love the antiques you used for decorating! It really sets it off as to what your shop is all about from the beginning. You Go Girl!!!!!! Some day I will have my own building on our property, that is the plan.

mountainmanda Posted September 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Best of Luck to you Char! My plan wasn't to rent a place but hey the best made plans, yadda yadda:cool: We actually bought commercial undeveloped property last year, now its on the market! Hopefully my landlord will sell because i do NOT want to have to move Precious! I have everything EXACTLY where I want in my workspace-Thanks to my loving husband. Take Care to all-off to the shop!
