Customer Feedback for Country N' More

Over a week ago, I received a call from a wonderful woman. She wanted a custom cobbler apron, but wanted it really custom. No problem, that is what custom is all about. The apron below was made 2 inches longer, plus she wanted button straps instead of ties, as well as a loop on the back for hanging up her apron. She would be my tester as I really liked this different version for my cobbler aprons. Well...I heard from her the same day that she received her new apron. It was perfect. I am not trying to brag, but we designed this apron over the phone. I am certainly going to add them to our on line catalog in the near future. Each side had a button. Love this.

I just had another customer call. The customer had purchased an apron back in February by calling our toll free number. Another happy customer. This customer said that they were pleased with the quality and how well made the apron was. I mentioned to a fellow networking business member this morning that I wanted to make quality products. If I made poor quality products, the customers would not order from me again. So many items are mass produced and the quality is just not there. The aprons shrink or fall apart.This customer wanted to know if I made house coats. I have been asked this so many times, but have not had the opportunity to make them. I probably should because as stated above, the mass produced products just don't wear well. I have been sewing for over 45 years and turned my sewing passion into a business back in 1996. It is hard to believe that it has been 20 years ago already.

countrynmore.com Catalog

A question that we often get is, "Do you have a catalog? If so, could you send me one?"  Since we don't mass produce our aprons, an item that is featured in a printed catalog may not be available when the customer received the catalog. We strive to provide quality cobbler aprons and other fine products. Our regular customers know that they will not find 10, 20, 50, or 100 aprons like the one that they find our on our website www.countrynmore.com. This is what makes us stand out from others. We have had customers say, "I saw this apron a few weeks ago, but now it shows that it is sold out." Sometimes, we can make another one and sometimes we can't. Customers can also create unique one-of-a-kind aprons through our custom site by choosing amongst our 600 plus fabrics.

New embroidered aprons at countrynmore.com

New to the store, will be embroidered cupcake aprons and unique barbecue aprons for the men in your life.

Custom Reversible Cobbler Aprons

Customers can choose from over 600 different fabrics to create an unique one-of-a-kind apron, whether it is a barbecue or a cobbler apron. The aprons can be made in sizes small to plus size. A new customer requested custom cobbler aprons. While some customers choose two different prints, some choose to have the same fabric on both sides, which is not unusual. This is one of those customers. I try to match up the designs between the main apron and the pocket on the cobbler aprons. With the barbecue aprons it is more difficult to accomplish. I do not surge edges. I have seen some aprons with exposed shoulder seams. The shoulder seams have been surged. My aprons are completely reversible and the customers get two aprons in one.

I really like these fabrics that the customer chose, although some are no longer available on the website for making aprons.

If you know someone who likes this popular cobbler apron style apron and they want a custom apron, they can visit our custom site at countrynmore.com.

Customers can also e-mail us if they would like another style that can not be ordered through our custom site. We have the vintage style canning aprons, etc. as seen below:

Personalized Baby Name For Blanket

From concept to finished product. The idea was drawn on a piece of paper. The customer chose a different (Curlz) instead. This will be stitched on a baby blanket. It was stitched on white satin. I had a piece of satin, but I didn't like that I could see through it. I decided to find a thicker satin fabric.

The boy's name is going to be Theo.

Apple And Blood Orange Trees

Well...back in August, I harvested the apples from our Fuji apple tree. Thought that I was done for the year. Then...I noticed blossoms again on the apple tree. It was because of the warm weather I suppose. Today, I noticed a new crop of apples on the tree. These apples are not large like our regular crop, rather they are very small in size.

Our small blood orange tree has produced over 40 large oranges.

Pumpkin Cheesecake From Scratch

My family is now wanting me to make homemade pumpkin cheesecake. When I made the cheesecake for Thanksgiving, I used canned pumpkin. For Christmas, I wanted to make the cheesecake from scratch. I used this pumpkin cheesecake recipe, but substituted the fresh pumpkin that I steamed in our steamer. They had a link for individuals who wanted to use fresh pumpkin. I never thought of using the steamer, but it was so easy. There were different methods to cook the pumpkin. I pureed the pumpkin in our food processor. Easy, peasy.

Latest Customer Custom Embroidered Apron Request for Country N' More

I enjoy creating custom embroidered aprons for my customers. I have made numerous aprons for this fellow business group member. Since I make all of the aprons and that I don't use mass produced aprons, I decided to have some already made up. I only had two of the black aprons made up, but plan on having more aprons already made up. I always get approval from the customer before embroidering the apron. These aprons are ready to wrap under the Christmas tree.  Ko Ko Kooks is done in an elegant font, while Uncle Jimmy will be stitched in a baseball font.

 This lovely waitress is modeling the Ko Ko apron.

Country N More and Project Linus

I am so thankful for Suzanne from who is in charge of the local chapters of Project Linus. I have been donating my fabric scraps and larger fabrics to this worthy cause. I have been collecting fabric scraps and fabric for another donation. I forgot how many boxes I took this time, but that doesn't really matter. What really matters is that they use everything from the larger pieces, bolted fabric, to the small threads and tiny scraps. The tiny fabric scraps and thread are used to stuff pillowcases, etc. for animal beds. I didn't realize this until we took a donation last year. When I find those pictures, I will post all the quilts on display. These women are awesome and they take time to make these quilts for children. Usually, the room is buzzing with the sounds of women sewing on their machines, women knitting or crocheting blankets, and the sounds of women enjoying their time together.

Helping Children in Need

At Project Linus, a non-profit organization, we provide homemade blankets to children in need. Our blankets are lovingly made by adults and children from all walks of life and many different sources.

Here are some of the pictures that were taken yesterday.

 The back of our car loaded with boxes of fabric and scraps.

 This quilt is gorgeous. I should have taken a picture of the gorgeous fabric on the other side.

San Gabriel Rotary Fund-raiser Event

Well....it has been 10 years since I did a craft show at Hillside Farm in Norco, CA., and 15 years since I did a small show event. I was asked by a friend if I would like to sell some of my items at their fund raiser. They raise funds for different organizations, plus donate money for needy children that need shoes.

I thought that this would be fun, since it has been a while. I forgot how much work it was preparing and setting up. Albeit, this was not the 10 x 10 booth in Norco, just a table. I decided to take one of our grids to hang some cobbler aprons, waist aprons, and oven door towels. I had made a couple of embroidered Christmas aprons. The aprons were not yet put on our website, so one will be added.

The visitors and customers really liked our cobbler aprons.
