yet made it seem so real. surreal might be a better description. i'd already seen the magazine, read the article, yet seeing it here in the newspaper, gave it a new energy.
just in case you can't see the fine print...
JEllen’s house of
fabric has been chosen as one of the 10 featured shops across the US for the
Fall 2013 issue of Quilt Sampler magazine published by Better Homes and
Gardens. Competition to be included is
keen. Nearly 3,000 quilt shops were eligible to apply for this honor. JEllen’s
and the other nine shops chosen were photographed and interviewed by a team
from Quilt Sampler and a multi page profile of the shop appears in this issue
now for sale in this shop and on newsstands September 3rd.
The art of quilting
has changed dramatically since the days of quilting bees in church basements,
with quilting enjoying a major renaissance across the country. Chosen shops are inundated with visitors and
requests for the shop’s quilt patterns and fabric. Quilters are known to try
and visit all the shops in each issue, getting the signature of each shop owner
in their copy of the issue. This is the
first time in the eighteen year history of the magazine that a mother/daughter
team has been chosen who advocate for hiring young adults with Down syndrome
and other developmental disabilities.
