I have a quilt guide for the SW region. If you let me know what larger towns you are passing by...I'll look up the shops for you. We got the book at the first LQS we stopped at and that's how we found all these wonderful shops. It was my husbands idea to get the book....so he can't blame me for all the shopping activity. He was such a good sport about it. I did a lot of historical sites with him, so I got to do the QS. When you marry a history major be prepared to see every piece of history that you pass by!

Every shop was unique and special. There are SO many wonderful shops.
This is my haul....I'm not looking at the credit card bill until next month, then you'll hear me screaming from Florida.

Great shopping - wish I was with you - we could have had lots of fun - great choices - enjoy !!!

Oh, I don't know. In my eyes this looks like a lot of control and feeling great (as you do I am sure) about helping out their local economy. If I had gone to all those shops my table would be about a foot or so high all around with stacks of good stuff. I am terrible when it comes to visiting quilting shops! Stacks would be higher if it was all bought on clearance. I just like and love it all.
Enjoy your wonderful purchases! I see a lot of projects in there I wouldn't mind doing myself.
