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.
That's interesting. Quilt Corner in Pensecola is the first Quilt shop I went to. I was on vacation, got drug in there and found the fabric for my Yellow Brick Road Quilt. They also had the pattern for sale. At the time, the people seemed nice. This was in about 2003 or 2004. I had never been to Florida before.
I bring my Queen size quilts to work to sandwich, but have been offered tables down at Eddie's Quilting Bee (here in California) if I need them for an hour or two and they don't have a class going.
