Country Living Fair 2011 Columbus Ohio PART 1

So I was going through my pictures and decided to make this a two part blog! The first group of pictures shows how crazy I have been and then the second part will show it all put together. I feel like I am a NASCAR driver put never get to stop... and if it was up to mom we wouldn't be sleeping now in the preparation to get ready for Atlanta... only about a month away... CRAZY!

Here are some of the pictures I took pre-show and the booth before it was pretty! I had this thing about writing on my hand! These two quilt got finished and were very popular in the booth wait till you see them hanging up!

It was such a whirlwind leading up to we got 2 quilts made and a slew of other things! I just wanted to give you a sneak peek of what I did. Then tomorrow I will reveal the booth and talk about what went down and what i am up to now! Hope all is well... Kor

The Olive Grace Story

5 years has come and gone and oh how things have changed!

What is Olive Grace Studios ?
It is a sweet little quilt shop and a pattern and design company!

Who is behind Olive Grace Studios?

Me (Kori Turner-Goodhart) and the people that inspire me and the memory of people who I have loved and lost.

Since I was a little girl my mom and grandmas’ took me in and out of little quilt shops and surrounded me with fabric. I believe this is where the dream of opening a quilt shop all began. When I went away to college this enigma was put on the back burner. I received a B.F.A. in Interior Design from Savannah College of Art and Design and headed off to the corporate world of Interior Architecture. The path of climbing the corporate ladder was not for me and I looked back at the dream I had once envisioned. So I packed my apartment up in Washington D.C. and Dad moved me home to Fowler! I opened my little quilt shop in hopes of sharing my experiences through my pattern, hand picked sewing goods and gifts. Now I am designing and using the Olive Grace Studios brand as a path way to great things in the quilting industry.

Where is olive grace Studios, llc (an eccentric quilt shop)?

The little red school house at my parent’s home and my sewing studio in my home basement!

What is so ironic about my idea is that in the late 50’s the Dewitt sisters who’s family originally built my family’s home saved the schoolhouse from becoming a garage. The sister’s moved the one room schoolhouse to our property to become a retail space and McGuffy Reader Museum. They to had a big idea…Mable’s was to provide our community with music lessons and Evelyn’s was to have a quilt shop and classes. Although the sisters never opened their own shop I hope in some way I am making their dream come true too.
