    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.
    You know that feeling when you've finished all your quilting projects and your studio is perfectly clean???? Me neither.

    It's not how fast you sew, it's how well you sew fast! Wait, I think that's supposed to be MOW!

    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.

    Thanks for sharing such a nice story. Quilters are special people.
