Well, we had a blast. . .Fabric, Food, and Fun. . .it doesn't get much better than this for a quilter! Of course, going to Market would be my dream!!! For me, it would be like going to Disney World! I'd have to run from ride to ride until my feet fell off and than get up early and do it the next day! That would be so FUN. I love being around creativity and seeing all of the beautiful things that people create!!! It's a real charge for me! I'm sure you can tell from all of the exclamation points. I guess it's kinda like watching Mary Murphy on "So You Think You Can Dance." If you know what I mean, LOL!
Drum Roll. . . Please!

Ok never mind my last comment. You went where I did too!! It was fun. I didn't get to Elaines. I only went one day and had other errands to run too. But its fun to see your pictures too. I didn't make it to Pine Needles either and I love them.
Wow, I need to take a lesson from you on taking pictures of the shop hop. I took hardly any pictures this year and I am so disappointed.
Guess what? That picture of the Thumbelina quilts on the board? My quilt is there =0P It was fun to see my quilt on your blog LOL
I just found your blog today through the quilt bloggers website, I will definately be back!
Love all the shops and their quilts are amazing!! Very detailed. Thanks for the tour. I remember going to the Mormon's Handicraft store when my hubby used to travel Utah. I love it.
