We had the Heart of the Valley Quilt Shop Hop in the Central Valley of California from Friday-Sunday. Three friends and I did part of the hop on Saturday. We only made it to 5 stores before we ran out of money and energy!! But, boy did we have the most wonderful time together, shopping, eating, talking, sharing,.....it was just AWESOME!! We have been friends for a long, long time, and it's been a couple of years since we have spent any amount of time all 4 of us together. We were SOOO blessed!!!

I also got to meet QuiltinCowgirl at one of the shops in Fresno, where we exchanged our doll quilts for the swap. Here are a couple of pictures from our very fun day!!

We did have so much fun. And luckily the weather was great. Sometimes at end of May in Central Valley it can be in the 90's...we had upper 70's, so loved it!!
