And, now with three people on board things have calmed down, giving more time for things we want to do to get done.<\/p>\n<p>One the things we will be dong over the next couple of weeks are a few articles about the basics of home decorating fabric. Katie, a friend of Taber&#8217;s, had gone to a large fabric retailer, and had been so overwhelmed by the fabric, and no one to ask for help, that she left. We felt it might be helpful to people new to sewing to have some information available. So, I will be writing, Taber will be doing pictures, Christine (who sews) will be offering advise, and Katie will be working on a project. So, we will keep you posted on that project.<\/p>\n<p>We are caught up on listing new fabrics that are currently running from companies. But, over the next two weeks we will be putting a fabric on a day of things as varied as Schumacher fabrics to reef to Oriental fabrics that are out of print or in short supply. So, watch the fabric blog for that!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"noindent\"><b>WEDNESDAY- August 14,2013<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><b>OUTLOOK EXPLORER is DOWN<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Well, the mail service has been down all morning.<br \/>\nWe are not ignoring questions&#8230;<br \/>\nwe literally can&#8217;t see them, and can&#8217;t answer them!<\/p>\n<p>But, not to worry, orders placed have been shipped!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/images\/stories\/flowers\/daylily-500-cream.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\">A pretty cream daylily!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><b>SEWING BASICS 101<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The first of the Sewing Basics 101 articles is up.<br \/>\nFollow Katie as she makes her curtains from start to finish!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/images\/stories\/Fabric-facts\/blogday1-6-700.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">KATIE CHECKS OUT FABRICS!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\">See the first article in the<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/fabric-facts\/about-home-decorating-fabrics\"><b>SEWING NOTIONS,<br \/>\nFABRIC FACTS,<br \/>\nABOUT HOME DECORATING FABRICS,<br \/>\nSEWING BASICS 101<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer is in full glory in Maine!
