The quilt shop is just west of Jays' sporting goods on Surrey road North of Clare. It is on the turn that goes over the x-way. Ring the bell and go in. Great shop.

Once we get settled and chat there are a couple of quilt shops, a yarn shop and a gift shop that we can go to. I think that we can play it by ear.

I will let the Big Boy know that we are coming, pm me so I can get a head count. I also need to let Rebecca at the Amish quilt shop know so she might like to get someone to help her. The rest will be ok with us coming in unannounce

I am looking forward to meeting all of you. Maybe we can get a group of Michigan Quilters started.

We had a great time. Lots of shopping. After the Brighton event, we are planning a Bay City Trip. Fabric Fair, the antique shops, the candy store and lunch. Stay tuned for more info.

Finally got to download pics from my camera. Had a great time on Wednesday. Met at Big Boy in Clare. We ate breakfast as we waited for everyone to arrive. From there we went to the Surrey Road Quilt Shop. it's a little Amish shop with beautiful fabrics and great prices. We left there and went to Elm Creek, just down the road in Farwell. It's a garden shop/craft store and they had a large selection of fabrics including the unusual. When we left there we headed about 12 miles down the road to Mt. Pleasant to a quilt shop where we were greeted by the owner and they had Pizza waiting. Lots of beautiful quilt samplings and fabrics. Needless to say, I spent my allowance plus some. I was the kid in the candy stores :lol: :lol: :lol:
