    Wow, I just came on here after a very long two days of cooking, to prepare for 45 Christmas Eve guests. I am amazed at the response, it makes me so happy I'll be going through each and will private message some of the questions. But just to answer a few, we opened the shop June 1st. 2010. The name "The Quilted Cow", well basically I moved here to the country and just thought the cows were adorable and they peaked my curiosity Yes we will be selling on-line soon, we are moving to a bigger space in March and plan on getting online shopping started at the same time.
    Again thank you for helping me out. Happy holidays

    I'll be looking for rosy pinks and cream, but also turquoise and browns.

    The 1st place I head for in a quilt shop is the Batiks. It can be a real challenge to find batiks in softer colors, which I like to use as backgrounds for the bright bold patterns.

    I love florals with black backgrounds. White on white, creams, and taupe for blenders. I also like blue and yellow fabric combos. I also tend to go for the darker colors like the ones called Kansas Troubles. As for greens, I like sage and hunter.
    Just my humble opinions.

    I like t he traditional colors, batiks nature colors, not into the bright 70's color, was visiting Andover thought I would gag, could make a cute contemporary quilt, but mine are made for life, and the new colors will outdate themselves just like them did in t he 70's.

    I have the hardest time finding just the right color "blue" Not a deep navy..but not a cornflower. I keep searching and know that I will "know" it when I see it.
