The family that works together stays together, right? Last night Jason said to me, “You know it’s a family business when we are all working together on a Friday night!”

This week was pretty busy for us as my hired helper was out of town and we had an uptick in fabric sales. To make up the slack, everyone pitched in to get those orders filled and out the door!

My husband and older son are in charge of pulling fabrics for orders and putting the bolts away when cut. My younger son likes to count the orders and attach mailing labels to the packages.

My favorite thing to do when not sewing is to cut out fat quarter bundles and quilt kits. That way I get to fondle the fabric and see how the colors work together.

Last night I cut out 20 sets of 10 fat quarters from 4 different colorways of Paula Nadelstern’s Deja Vu. That makes for 2oo yards of cutting!! Whew am I tired!

Needless to say, when we have help again next week, I will be very grateful.
