Here we go – our very own little blog! Susan and I thought we would keep you current with all of the happenings at the shop this way. And, we want to hear your thoughts, too. We all have opinions and ideas and they are always welcome!
For those of you who don’t know us, we are Linda Van Arkel and Susan Wahlsten. We own ABC’s of Quilting in Grand Rapids, MN and love what we do. Both of us have had careers in other fields, but, we think this is the BEST job in the world. We get to do what we love: quilt and buy fabric!
In addition to having a Retail shop, we also have a Quilting Studio and an On-line store. We take great pride in providing great customer service for all the ‘divisions’ of our shop. If we do something wrong, please let us know.  Susie is in charge of the Quilting Studio and she does some awesome work. We also have another Long-Arm Quilter, Edna, so we keep the machine going seven days a week. That lets us be very responsive to your needs. And, just in case the rest of the staff is reading this, I will mention your outstanding responsibilities next blog, okay?
Since my hubby, Doug, also had a former career ( he was in telecommunications), we decided that he could handle all of our website work. He is great at it and keeps the site current. Right now he is busy trying to keep up with a couple of ‘special’ projects I thought we should do. Yup, he gets a little frustrated at times, but he can be bought with a cheesecake!
No blog would be complete without mentioning our latest project and that is Gee’s Bend Quilts. We are very excited to be able to offer these quilt kits (and the yardage and patterns, too) so check them out at our website: www.abcsofquilting.com they are under the ‘Featured Products’ section.
I think that is it for today – once I get more comfortable with this ‘blogging’, I know I will have a LOT more to say. Anyone who knows me will be nodding their head!!
