So…. a crazy thing has happened, and part of me still can’t believe it.
As you know, I recently opened Bearbottom Quilts in an effort to sell some of my beautiful creations.
Well, not long after I opened the shop, I got an email from someone who was interested in buying all the quilts I had in stock (yes, ALL!!!!), to sell at a winter market in the coming months.
At first, I was a little reluctant. 1) It seemed way too good to be true. 2) I just opened the shop and did I really want to sell everything out… it would make it hard to gain a following while I was replenishing the stock.
But, we corresponded back and forth for a bit, and the offer became more real. So now, the shop look likes this…

Sad and empty! But I’m pretty darn happy. As you read this, Mom and I are probably on our way to deliver the quilts (it’s in a town about an hour and a half from us). My quilt ladder is empty, and I have a pile of space back in the studio!
Of course, as soon as I get back from delivering them, I’ll be making more quilts! Got to get that store stocked again!
That is wonderful! Congratulations. Now you’ll have lots of fun putting together new color combos and patterns AND you’ll be busy through the winter! YAY!

That is amazing and wonderful! Your quilts are treasures for sure and I know that whoever recieves them will be so happy to get them. I guess if anyone here wants one we’ll have to do a speical order! š
Now you have lots of space to start stocking up again.
Blessings,
Betsy

And we all know that you cannot tolerate the void, so between you and your Mom, you’ll be snipping and piecing and creating and sewing like demons ‘ere long!

Congratulations! That is so wonderful and exciting! I can’t think of a better start to a business than selling all the inventory within a short period of time. You will have to let us know about the person purchasing the quilts and the event. So happy for you.
