My quilting daughter and her family are visiting from New Jersey here in South Carolina. We only see each other twice a year, up there at Christmastime, and in August each year here. Yesterday was a day I will fondly remember always. We took a 2 1/2 hour ride to Mary Jo's fabric store in North Carolina. We got there in the morning, just looked around at what was there, then went to lunch. After lunch we went back and did some serious shopping! What a wonderful way to spend some quality time with a very special person in my life.

Mary Jo's is the best!

What fun!

so glad you are having a nice visit with all of them and enjoying shopping

So happy for you!

How nice! I know you enjoyed it.

Treasure those memories. It sounds like you had such a fabulous time together. I can still remember those times when my mom and I would have outings together......

Nothing better than time with our children.

Nothing better than spending time with your daughter.

My goodness! Mary Jo's and a loved one to share the joy. . . BLISS!

Aaahh...how wonderful for you!!...an additional great memory for you...thanks for sharing...

Thanks for sharing your day. Made me smile :D

That sounds like a wonderful way to spend a day. I'm glad you had fun.

Those days r the best!!

I so wish I could do that with my mom...

I'm glad you had an enjoyable day with your daughter....and hope you have many more! :)

That must have been a wonderful day for you...memories,memories....

what a lovely day!!!!!!! good for you!!

What a wonderful, memorable day you had, so happy for you!

I love spending that kind of day with my daughter.

I enjoy just spending time with my daughters too. I was in NC last month because I have 2 daughters, 6 GKs and 10 GGD in New Bern. Where is Mary Jos located?

I am so glad you were able to share that time with your daughter... it is such fun to be with our kids.

Sounds like my idea of an ideal day too. mary jo's is fabulous! Love it.

How delightful!

What a nice way to spend time with your daughter! Now if I could only get my two daughters interested in quilting/sewing. (they are 20 and 16). However, my son, at age 10, loves to make pillowcases and embroidery cars on them.

I love going to Mary Jo's in Gastonia, NC. My daughter will go with me but she doesn't sew or quilt so she doesn't understand the ooohs and aaahs. Glad you had a great day.

I was so overwhelmed by Mary Jo's the first time I visited that I walked in and walked out. Had to get prepared to look at so much fabric.

So glad you were able to enjoy the time with your daughter. I was so happy when my daughter became interested in quilting - it's such a special bond and such a wonderful way to spend time together. Hope you can keep enjoying it for a loooooong time!!

What special memories you will have from the day!

Lucky you! Wish I had a daughter. My boys are great but they aren't interested in quilting and their wives are too busy. I'm working on my grandchildren!

Wow.... so glad you had some real quality time with your daughter.

Hugs

So glad you are having a nice visit with your daughter and family. Those memories you will cherish forever.

Never been to Mary Jo's but have known about it for years. I'm only about 2.5 hours from there. HMMMMM.....maybe a short road trip on Labor Day weekend????

What a nice post. Thanks for sharing. Glad you had a good time. Time with loved ones are the best. BrendaK
