As Olde Glory Is Created!


Busy is the word!! The last week and a half has seen God do miracles in setting up our new endeavor at Olde Glory Quilt Shoppe in Lebanon, Ohio at 19 Sycamore Street...We had closing and then got busy with painting and figuring out where to put new windows, doors, etc. This week we finished painting, continued to clean dusty, old musty places others thought forever forgotten; two sets of windows, a new side door where a warehouse door was located, and a big big crane came and took the steel pulley apparatus off the building. The guys have been busy and the gals too!..it is LOOKIN" GOOD IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD!!!!!...people have walked by, drove by and even stopped to check out what is going on! One car came to a complete stop and looked into the windows from the parking lot next by and GW gave her a big smile and wave from inside. News is getting out through Lori while she is working in the school system prn in the offices that WE ARE HERE!!...most everyone we meet is positive...We want to continue to keep our focus in strengthening others, being a gathering place for quilters and crafters alike, really. Nothing really has to be in "granite", atleast, not anymore, since it is not a memorial business..opps, I guess that was kind of tachy...but we want to stay simple and see how God directs us. We are excited and just very busy getting ready to open by the 1st of December when Lebanon has its' Christmas or Winter Parade......the little bird in the picture is so beautiful..she was outside the backdoor of the shop today when we went by to pick up a few tools that my hubby my need to work on our cabin while we are home in Indiana for a few day...and she was just sitting there..not sure if she was in migration or what..she did not stir when Shiloh, our Golden retriever walked over her..but her colors were just to wonderfully placed at the end of her feathers in different areas of her body, purple, yellow, red and white. The picture, of course, does not give her justice. Continue to check in our progress and have a Blessed Thanksgiving!!!! Quilted Blessings! Karie
