Change Can be a Very Good Thing!


Change can be a lot of things.  Right now--- I'm doin' the Happy Dance because I'm making some changes to my website that are VERY EXCITING!


My wonderful web designer (we'll just call him Amazing John) is doing some upgrades for us.  DH and I met with him a few weeks ago and talked about some enhancements we'd like to see on the website.  The changes will be put in place over the next few weeks, but the first one happened today.  (Me, doing a little twirl).

Previously, The Alderwood Quilts website has been set up such that we only offered full yards of fabric.  You could always contact me and ask for partial yard cuts, but most people didn't do that.  Now, when you view a particular fabric, you can select the quantity you want in increments of 1/4 yards.  Not only that, but he has also put the option in there for people to select Fat Quarters.  AND... the Fat Quarters are priced the same as a regular 1/4 yard cut- no additional cutting/folding fee for FQ's.  Woo Hoo!!!

It looks like this.....

This is something that customers have been requesting and I'm pleased to be able to offer it now!

More changes to come, and I'm still cutting Double Wedding Ring pieces.  I took a little trip to the beach over the weekend and slacked off on my projects.  And today, we are having beautiful weather, so I just can't resist spending some time in the lavender field.  They're threatening frost this week so I want to clean the plants up a bit and put them to bed for the winter.  I'll be sewing bunches this week....

Thanks to all who have entered the giveaway.  I have read all of your comments and I am thrilled to have so many new readers and followers.  WELCOME!
