Fabric Match ups

I realize that sometimes it's hard to tell shades of color through a computer monitor. This post was meant to help you decide which fabrics match with which minky. Of course these are just my personal opinions and you may have other ideas that look great as well. I hope this helps!

It's been a while!

Wow! I haven't posted since August! It took a while but I finally got the blog switched over to the new site. I hope you all love the new site design as much as I do.
You all have been keeping me as busy as ever and I appreciate it so much. I have a ton of beautiful new fabrics ordered. I am patiently awaiting their arrival. Until then, I know the pickings are a little slimmer than usual but if you are ever looking for certain colors, patterns...just email me and we can find something suitable and have it here in about a week.

I haven't been blown away...YET!

Tropical storm Fay is expected to affect us here in Orlando beginning overnight tonight. What a coincidence that this is the first day of school for my children. I hope this isn't a reflection of what is to come in the school year. ;)

This MAY affect orders getting filled in a timely fashion. Please know that I am doing everything in my power to ship orders ASAP but Mother Nature's power is much stronger than mine.

We are taking every precaution to stay safe and have plenty of supplies & generators to make it through. We have lived in Orlando for over 20 years and weathered many a storm including the year Charlie & a few others came knocking at our door.

Wow!

I have some extremely awesome customers! I just have to say thank you. I have been so busy lately. I can hardly keep up. I think you all have been telling your friends. I appreciate that!

I'm sorry I haven't been posting much but I just want you to know that I am still here and my lack of blogging doesn't signify my lack of making blankets at all. It's actually the opposite!

I am really enjoying all of the creative ways that everyone is putting their blankets together. It makes my job much more fun & exciting and they look awesome, too! Keep them coming!

Vacation Time

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I will be out of town from May 28th through June 6th. Great Grandma is turning 95, bless her heart. I'll be heading out of state for her birthday party and a much needed vacation.
I have to keep the machines happy too so they will perform at their best. They are hitting the "embroidery spa" for tune ups and upgrades while I am away.
When I get back, the machines and I will be better than new and ready to work for you.
Feel free to order while I am away. As usual, I will be available by email and will be ready to tackle your orders when I return.

It's genius, I tell you! Problem Solved!

I've received a few emails lately that troubled me. Fabrics that were there a few days earlier were sold out when customers were ready to order. Yikes! Our fabrics are purchased in small quantities to make sure that your neighbor doesn't wind up with the same blanket as you. Eww! You wouldn't want that to happen, would you?!

I've been thinking about this and thinking some more. You see, I'm a problem solver, a people pleaser to a fault (well -almost).

You will be excited to know that you can now RESERVE your blanket. If you are visiting today and see a fabric that you love and know that your sister Sue will be delivering sweet niece or nephew in the next month or two you can order a blanket as usual and I will hold the fabrics for you. When Nephew Nicholas or Niece Nycole is born just drop me an email with what you would like embroidered on the blanket. I'll get to work on it straight away!
You get to give the gift that you want (your first choice, numero uno, the best of the best) and I'm a happy camper because I've made you, sister and sweet baby happy as well.

Along with reserving a blankie, our newer fabrics are being purchased in higher quantities so they will stick around just a little longer than usual.

RESERVE your blankie today!
