Alice Essinger couldn’t find out-of-print fabric she needed for several quilting projects, so she started her own business.
The story of her Bluffton-based business, Fresh Modern Fabric, is more complicated than that, but it’s close.
Essinger operates an Etsy-based fabric business above the Bluffton Karate Center. The shop’s address is 103 ½ Vine St. (Across Main Street from Greg's Pharmacy.)
Fresh Modern Fabric invites Icon viewers to the shop’s first-ever open house. It is from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 24. Essinger said that in addition to viewing over 1,500 bolts of fabric there will be refreshments and door prizes.

Owlsburg - once a school, a church, a tractor dealership, and most recently a bar - gets a new lease on life as a family restaurant.
New owner David "Rico" Rodriguez plans to open Cherico's Restaurant at the corner of State Route 235 and Old Route 30. Target date for opening is November.
A major renovation is underway on the structure, probably 150 years old, with efforts to save some of the past handiwork such as the yellow pine floor and the stamped tile ceiling made of tin.
In addition to the first floor, a large room upstairs will be available for dining. Outdoor patios will be built on three sides.
