Anything with a “Q”
Yup, I will definitely stop at ALL quilt shops (at least once) But I also stop at any shop with a "Q" in it. Guess what? That includes antiQue shops!

“Stuffers” “Testers” . . . . . . “FRIENDS”
I am a very fortunate person; I have Stuffers and Testers!

Those Wonderful Little Country Quilt Shops
Hubby & I went camping over the past weekend, and being the avid quilter that I am, I naturally researched quilt shops in the "camping area". Sure enough, there were three within "reasonable" driving distance. (I don’t know about you, but reasonable to me equals one hundred miles) All three shops were wonderful; one…

Keepsake Quilting!
Some exciting news for Sweet Season Quilts and The Painted Ladies. The patterns will be available from Keepsake Quilting in their fall catalog. I should mention that I’m still a bit dazed by this news. The only thing I could say when their purchasing agent called, was “Wow”. She laughed and said that was the…

All wonderful stores, and well worth the trip if you live…
