I haven't taken a stitch ...!

It is so unlike me to not be creating with needle, thread and fabric. In all honesty, I have been preoccupied with life in general. Lots of decisions to make and new directions to plan out.

One thing I have learned, there is a lot more to closing a business than just attempting to sell your inventory and move out! Lots of odds and end to button up. The experience I am acquiring in invaluable.

On another note, I now have quite the stash! lol

Oh, there is just a bit more in another room, but in all honesty, these are my favourites! Ok, all the fabrics at Fibre were my favourite! lol

I never really quite grasped the notion that I had a lot of inventory, all beautiful inventory, until I decided to close!  Most of it is gone and I am thankful for the customers that helped me liquidate. 

Although I would have liked to have been left with nothing, I can live with some of the left over inventory, just not all of it! 

For those of you who use Etsy and/or eBay, which one would you recommend? Which platform is more successful for you. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your comments, they are must appreciated! Cheers!

It's a done deal!

Wow, it is truly official ... Fibre is closed!

It looks so empty!

What a difference fixtures, samples and fabric makes! I see the Fibre touch gone, but the space still holds lots of potential for a new tenant!

As I stood there, it suddenly occurred to me, this is it! 

Thank you to all that were part of the Fibre Junction chapter. It has been quite the adventure. An adventure I enjoyed tremendously and wouldn't trade for anything.

It is now time to begin writing my new life chapter. See you on a new page of the Book of Life!

Fibre and its closing ...!

Today is the last "official" day that Fibre Junction will be open.

I had some dear friends drop by at 4:00 p.m. to celebrate a new beginning. Nancy, the shoppe Troll, brought dinner, Cathy brought cake and wine, Mary and Diane were there for the moral support!

It will be quite the change in my life but it is the choice I made.

I am grateful for the eight wonderful years of serving my customers in the quilting industry. Here's to a new chapter in my life! Cheers!

The time has come ....!

It's official!

The time has come for me to move on to my new pursuit!

You can help me liquidate by visiting the shop, Fibre Junction, or shop online.

All regular in stock items are 30% off.  Minimum 1 yard cuts on the fabric. Shipping will be calculated based on total at regular price. Use code FIBRECLOSING.

Thank you to all who patronized Fibre Junction.

Yours in Fibre,

Carole

Learning from my mistakes ....!

Hum ... When it comes to setting quilting goals, I seem to have a difficult time learning from my mistakes.

I finished the quilt Bobbins, which is from that great book 12-Pack Quilts by Me & My Sister. You can read about the blog entry here.

The quilt has been hanging on my design wall for a couple of weeks. Excuse the messy photo!

I used fabrics from Chestnut Street by Fig Tree & Co - Available from Fibre Junction here.

Below is a close up of the block.

Late Sunday afternoon, I decided that I had enough motivation to machine quilt the top. The goal ... hit the sack once it was all machine quilted.

By ... yawn ... 11:30 p.m. it was completed!

Today's goal, machine sew the binding, making it ready for hand sewing! Another of my favourite part of quilting!

What's quilting with you?

Thank you for stopping by my little corner in cyber space! Catch you later! Cheers!
