    Pantego was a sweet little shop. Loved the ideas at Quilt Country in Lewisville. Minding your PS and Qs on 380 had some great items.
    Resting for a couple of days then hitting it again.

    I guess I'm going to make it a three day in and out next weekend and hit up the as many in my region as I can on the Quilt Across Texas that overlap or are near by. There isn't a piece of fabric that I need but who ever let that stop them?

    So the hop begins this coming Thursday... since it's my first time, what is the best driving path to visit all shops? I'd not have 3 full days to visit the shops so I'm wondering if it's even possible to visit them all.

    How nice it would be to have a whole month to complete a shop hop. In upstate NY, the most shops in a shop hop that I participated in had 12 shops. However, we only had 5 days to complete the shop hop. That was one day more than what they usually give us.

    Probably why I have the stash that I do. I hope you find a few people to go with and that you have a great time completing your shop hop!

    There are two shop hops in TX. The one this weekend is 3 days. Some of the stores are participating in both.

    It's possible to do in less. It depends on where you live as to how you plan your route. I started out doing the far north ones and then started a loop and ended up with with most eastern on last. Waxahachie wasn't on them so I'll have to adjust my route for that.

    Some of the shops are so nice that you might want to spend quite a bit of time.

    I only like the Lewisville shop having all of Regional 4 done did not know about the North Texas one until now. All the shops were great but some more to my taste we are all different when it comes to fabric I live in Caddo Mills do any of you live close.
