Hello!
The weeks seem to fly by, and this has been another busy one at Quilter's JEM!
Wednesday morning I had the fun privilege of being the guest on Coffee with Kay, a Facebook live interview that Kay Derry, owner of Northern Roots Boutique. Kay's goal is to promote local businesses run by women. I enjoyed sharing with her how the shop started and what we've been up to in our first 2-1/2 years of business.
If you'd like to see the interview, go to facebook and check it out!! Also, visit Kay's shop, Northern Roots Boutique, in person or online-she carries super cute clothes!
