Despite our mega pre-stock take sale, there was and is still a lot of counting to do! The haberdashery and books are done, but I am still plodding through the fabrics! It is like the horn of plenty, just when you think you have finished you find another rack that needs counting!
In our current shop we have approx 18 racks of fabric - mostly double stacked. In the new shop I am planning approx double that capacity. Goodness knows how long it will take us to count the fabric next year!
I have spent most of my Easter weekend doing this and am starting to feel like I need to get a life! However, if truth be told I love it, just coming across fabric I forgot was in the shop, and my mind goes off to various possibilities for it, so far in my head I have constructed over 100 quilts this weekend, I just need an army of willing slaves to make them all up. The fabric I am counting now is at home, so has never even seen the shop shelf, can't wait for the new place to show it off.
OK approx another 200 bolts to go and then I am done. Total - around the 2000 mark.
Oh Boy!

- I am a fabriholic. I confess, I just love fabric and stitching. I started sewing so long ago I don't care to remember and opened the shop in August 2001. The shop is stuffed full of fabric, notions, needlecraft kits, threads and most of all inspiration! I have a fantastic staff, including Rowena, Chris and Kath. Plus numerous talented teachers who teach needlecraft classes in my workshop above the shop.
