I went to that quilt shop last summer on vacation. My husband and I were riding bikes and part of the route was to go to the quilt shop! I found so many great fabrics there that we had to go back in the car so I could get it all back to the condo!
We are going to Oklahoma City next weekend for my aunt and uncle's 50th anniversary celebration. My aunt (who sews and used to work for Bernina) has sent me the names and addresses of all the quilt shops in the area so I have "something to do" during the day on Saturday!
My husband asks me before we leave on any trip if I have found quilt shops for us to stop in. I love The Cherry Pit in Seiverville, TN and when we returned to Gatlinburg in January, he remembered exactly how to get to the shop. He's WONDERFUL!!!!
