My To-Do list is getting smaller?

Hello! I am Kathryn and this is my first Blog (is it capitalized or not?). I have worked at The Attic Window Quilt Shoppe since January 2006. I am a customer service person, coordinate our Trunk Shows, teach Scrap Therapy (http://www.scrap-therapy.com/), and make lots of store samples. It truly is a wonderful place to call work.

I finished the wedding quilt and it's in the mail, check; the graduation quilt is ready to go to the Wenatchee High School graduate next week, check ; AND I finished my girlfriend's 55th birthday quilt and it's ready to go to Barb our shop quilter, check! That's three items OFF of my list....now let me see, I've got 2 tablerunner store samples to make, Color School (I graduated in May!!!!) blocks to put together, Girl's Night Out Mystery Quilt to put together, my friend's 80th birthday quilt needs to be put together and I know if I poke around in my sewing room there are lots more that I have forgotten. Since our hot weather seems to have arrived spending time in the air conditioned house finishing even more projects is just the ticket. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Dream job

Hi, I have the dream job of working at this great quilt store, The Attic Window Quilt Shoppe. My title, "Special Projects" - doesn't that sound fun. I get to cut many of the kits we sell and use the die-cut machine. We cut our own 5" charm packs, 2.5" strips, dresden plate pieces and feathers. Our Christmas tree and heart kits made from feathers have been a big hit.

People always ask if I take home any of my paycheck and I have to say yes. Of course, I take it home and put it on the credit card to pay for my habit. My name is Jan and I am a Fab-aholic. I learned to quilt while stationed in Japan. While the Japanese do beautiful quilting and piecing, most of the quilt fabric was expensive. So when I could find something on sale at the base or local stores, I grabbed it up - you wouldn't find it there later. And so started my addiction. I fondly call my fabric stash, "Jan's House of Fabric". If I don't have it, I know where to search to find it.

Our shop offers some great classes of which I have taken many. We have great teachers and a fun group of co-workers. Check us out when you are traveling thru north central WA or online at www.theatticwindowquiltshoppe.com
