My home away from home has changed owners. I'm so excited for my friend Marby who has purchased, Quilter's Inn in Danville, CA (125-F Railroad Ave).
I have to tell you, without this store, and the ladies who work there, I'm not sure I'd be doing what I am today. Jane, the previous owner and Marby, the new owner are two of the sweetest, most supportive people you could know.
The new name of the shop is Wooden Gate Quilts. It's currently closed for the week as it gets a few updates: paint etc, but when it opens I'm sure it's going to be better than ever. I was lucky enough to be asked to create the new logo for the shop. Marby has such pretty, simple taste. The new logo fits her just perfectly.
I hope you'll visit when it reopens (next week if all goes as planned, I believe). There are still drop-ins on Mondays and Tuesdays from 10 to 2 with Janis and Margaret. I try to make at least one of those days each week. And I hope to teach a couple classes there soon too. So, I'll let you know when that happens.
You've stopped at the online journal of Bari Ackerman (the J. is for Jill, my middle name). I am a fabric, sewing pattern and surface designer. I love to create. And, I love to share ideas and dreams with other creative people. I hope you'll stay for a visit. And, feel free to chime in on the conversation. You know, so I don't think I'm talking to myself. Thanks for stopping by!
