Yeah it's had. My quilt shop is closing, I shouldn't say 'my' because I don't own it but I do feel so very comfortable there. This is the first shop I went into when I started to learn to quilt. They have all been so friendly and patient with me and the mistakes I have made while learning. I know them all by name and they definitely know me!
I was so looking forward to the 'block-month' this year. Actually I like the colour selection so much that when she said she was closing and had a special sale for us regulars, I bought all the fabric needed to make a quilt. I just finished the top and will 'borrow' her tables next week to sandwich. I just don't have the room in a small townhouse to layout a twin quilt to sandwich. I have told them all how much I'll miss their friendly faces.
Now I need to find a new place to feed this new addiction called quilting.
