I'm glad that so many people are enjoying the previews!
Just so you know, I post whatever I think is interesting... whether or not I'm inclined to buy it for my shop, and whether or not I even like it personally.
If you'd like to know if I did decide to carry a particular fabric, I'd feel a whole lot more comfortable to receive a PM, rather than have the question posted in the thread. I'd be grateful for the business, of course, but I'm trying to walk a narrow line between a community member asking "Hey, this is new, what do you think of it?" and a business person. I'm trying very hard not to blur that distinction. This forum is a wonderful, lively place, but it would be totally ruined if it became just a place full of commercial posts and advertising. I hope you all understand.

I think it is great that we can give our opinions about what we like and don't like and feel that it is being heard by a quilt store owner. I have been in too many quilt stores where it is obvious that the owner's tastes in fabric prevail throughout the shop. I like variety and having an eclectic selection to choose from. I don't like Thimbleberries, for example, so when I walk into a quiltstore and it looks like it showcases mostly these types of fabric, I don't spend much time in the shop. (I went on the Washington Shop Hop a few years ago and some stores I spent a good hour in and bought lots, whereas other stores I spent less than ten minutes in and left empty handed.)

Today's look at the Garden Song (think that was the one) was very much appreciated.
I actually was hoping that you worked in a storefront LQS. As I have reason to go to Buffalo frequently, I'd have SOOO been there in a heartbeat. Even online, your selections are nicer than the other shop (that has two locations) in the Buffalo area.
