The roomie and I are seriously considering/plotting/making plans for opening a quilt store. We have a name, we know what we want to do, what our niche will be, etc. etc. We even know we will probably start with an online store.

Now that faire is out of our lives, we can get started.

Our niche: hand-dyed and batiked fabrics, as well as geeky-themed fabrics and projects. We will also carry batiks and Alexander Henry fabrics, and some designers/lines that other stores do not carry. Over the weekend we also decided that we would have a cosplay fabric area and patterns. Apparently there is a place in the area which does the foam and stuff like that, but no one carries good fabrics. So that's now on the list as well.

A friend of ours wants to one day open a used bookstore. Our plans are so similar, and our outlooks so similar, that if we could find a place to have both stores with a little cafe between them, we would find a way to do it.

This spring, we're going to start working towards the goal. Dyeing and batiking comes first - along with the carving of stamps. Wheee! And designing quilts. And fabrics.
