I don't know if you've heard (snicker), but there's a hurricane heading up the East Coast right now. Earl is already clouding up the skies over Boston, and the rains are supposed to start in earnest sometime late this afternoon. We're fortunate that we live in days like this where we have 7x24 access to satellite data, doppler radar, and experts on the Weather Channel to whip into a frenzy ("Nail your shutters! Nail your roof! Nail your cat to your dog!")
But since I don't want anyone caught in terrible traffic, and so my folks can put their lawn chairs and other potential flying objects away before the storm hits, we'll probably close Gorgeous Fabrics' offices just a wee bit early tonight. But not until the orders from yesterday ship, so don't worry!
Also, our offices will be closed in observance of Labor Day on Monday. There's no UPS or postal service that day, so everything may get to you a little slower than usual. But it will be on its way, promise!
I'm hoping to spend much of the weekend working on my Lady Gray coat. Speaking of which, check Gertie's New Blog for Better Sewing later today, to read a fascinating article on fabrics for said coat, by an awesome writer (wink, wink)!
If you're in the path of Earl, be safe. And to all, have a great weekend and
Happy sewing!

Stay safe Ann!
Give my regards to Earl, it appears that he's going to ignore the D.C. area. Hope he doesn't treat you badly!!!
Interesting article. nice done!
The inch and a half of rain we got today will be the closest we ever get to a hurricane in Ontario! Batten down your hatches and I'll head on over to Gertie's for some reading!
you are an awesome writer.
I hate hurricane season. Thankfully, we've escaped the Cone of Death so far this year! Stay safe!
Off to Gertie's...
Your post on Gertie's blog was great! It almost motivates me to make one of those coats . . . but I've just got too much on my plate right now!!! Still, the idea of making it out of a fabulous dressy fabric is awfully tempting . . .
Stay safe and enjoy your sewing! Thanks so much for the fabulous guest post today; I already have requests for more from you. (Hint, hint.) And you convinced me that I need to make my coat in that black and white tweed. Can't wait to get it! (Though I'll be very patient what with the holiday weekend and hurricanes and all. :)
Hah! I live in the Boston area too, and that was really some hurricaine, wasn't it?
I just had to comment that I love your blog and your store. I am a new sewer kind of obsessed with learning how to sew some of my own clothes. I knit quite a bit and love making sweaters, but they take so long.
I really like that you suggest patterns for many of the fabrics. That is very helpful! If you ever sell patterns with suggested fabrics, I think that would be great too.
I'm glad the storm wasn't too terrible. I lived in Boston for many years before moving to the southwest. I remember some crazy hurricanes.
I will keep visiting! Thank you.
