Birdie Sling
I work part time at a fun quilt shop: Whimsy Cottage . Occasionally I work in the store but generally I send out the email newsletters, keep the website up to date (click on the words Whimsy Cottage and you will visit the website) and I also get to make fun samples like the Koala I made last week and this Amy Butler Birdie Sling Purse I finished up today. Whimsy is unique because Nancy, the owner, loves pure color and it shows in every part of the store. I have enjoyed being allowed the freedom to explore color while working at Whimsy. I have amazed myself as I have helped cutomers pick fabrics for their quilts. I think it is easier to help others pick their fabrics but I am also much more confident with my own color choices. I have grown as a quilter and an artist over the past few years and I attribute a lot of that growth to my associations with the owner, employees and customers at Whimsy.
