112...My Favorite Things...Young Geets

The title of this little story should be "Geeter Helps Out"...Geeter, aka Kitty is the kind of dog who does her "spin to win" move when she sees me put my shoes on, or if I get the car keys out of the drawer.  She's the best little traveler there ever was.  "Where we goes she goes"...

Here she is on one of our recent moving days...is it just me or is she adorable?  Danielle our trusty dog-loving intern took this pic with her phone.

I know a lot of you are chomping at the bit for pictures of the new office.  We've made lots of plans and are in the midst of implementing them right now.  Paton has been terrific helping us get all of our shelving in place. We now have what seems like miles of new shelving (that will fill up in no time, I'm sure.) 

We looked for over 6 months to find the office space that we finally took.  We had several deals fall through (including our dream space), so don't get too excited.  The space is large and we have windows along three exposures.  But the basics are white walls, new gray industrial carpeting, and "standard issue" 8 foot acoustical ceilings (which I really can't stand!).  I must admit, coming from Manhattan where space is $$$ cha-ching, we are getting a lot of space for our money.  But the perks:  Central Park a block away, latte's on demand on almost every corner, and 6 bakeries including a French pastry chef within an easy walk...They just aren't to be had anywhere near our new digs. What's a spoiled Chub-ette like Moi to do?

Anyhoo, things are moving along, and  I am anticipating a (very small) lull before the last big push for market, so I promise to indulge you with "new place pics" soon.

111...My Favorite Things...Young Fabric Lovers!

I received something intriguing in the mail a couple of days ago, and just had to share it with you all...
This is the handiwork of Genevieve Nitzsche who is the young daughter of Kathleen Nitzsche who helps with some of our show and magazine quilts. Kathleen made the Emma's Garden quilt  that just came out in the 2008 April McCall's Quilting Magazine.

It's a book report on the back of a hand puppet made by Gen...

Isn't it a de-light?   You go girl!

On another note, some of you have written (Bren, Elizabeth & Pam Kitty for starters)...you've noticed that I haven't been posting as much as I usually do...That's because after a really long search...(that started well over a year ago)...We found some new space...WE-HOO...We'll have room for a huge fabric library...(think bolts) and a huge reference library...(as in almost everything I have ever bought at flea markets, from fabric & quilt dealers, etc. in the last 30 years), a graphics studio, a photography studio and our support offices.  We have begun (and only just begun) the arduous task of moving "the stuff".  I will keep my art, sewing and quilting things here at the house for nights and weekends.  I will blog about that little space (my favorite room in the house) as soon as I get it set up.

That's all for now.
