I am very excited to share great news with you: I am now the new owner of The Quilt Merchant, a quilt store in Winfield, IL!!! Docia wanted to retire so I took that as an opportunity to go back to the US and do what I love! Quilting and everything around quilts!
You can visit the website: www.thequiltmerchant.com
or visit the store.
I am not there yet as I have to pack here. But Docia and Beth are running the store; I thank them a lot for that!
I am moving my long arm and will be offering long arm quilting also. And for those of you in Europe,  my oldest daughter is staying in France to finish her school year but is going to visit me so will be able to take any quilts from France to the US and vice versa!

And please if you have any suggestions about things I should do, I should carry or...whatever, just shoot me an email, my email address is still going to be the same!!! Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you and have a great day!
