Happy customers make me happy. It’s always nice to receive a thank you note from customers to whom I ship quilts since I don’t get to show them their quilts in person. I got the following today: “Dear Sharon, I just wanted to let you know that I am well pleased with the quilt. My…

Read MoreIt’s just a few days till Thanksgiving and then everyone who hasn’t already thought about Christmas shopping is going to be rushing around to get it all done in time for the holidays.
