Default Gone Quiltin'

Every morning I read what the internet says are the news stories of the day, and t0day Huffington post decided this was:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...?ncid=webmail9

It's about the 'Gone Quiltin' shop in Texas, and the story of the people behind it. I don't know about you, but I like reading these kinds of stories, just makes the shop, though I'll probably never visit there, more personable.
A feel good American entrepenuer story.

Whenever I get up to hill country I always try to get to this shop. I was in the old one and her shop definitely is strides above it. They have a very nice selection of fabric and always greet you when you enter the store. I did not know her story, so thank you for sharing this article.
