If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to visit some quilt shops there. If you’re old enough, you can put that sentence in a familiar tune. My husband and I just got back from a week-long visit to the San Francisco area with our best friends of over forty years. Fortunately, my friend Jody…

A few weeks ago when my sisters and I went on our annual Sister Trip, we visited Austin, Texas, and stopped in at several quilt shops. I think at least one of us bought something at every shop and they were all worth visiting.  Our first stop was the Honey Bee Quilt Store in Austin.…

While in Missouri, we really enjoyed the drive to Shearwood Quilts. It is located in Jamesport, Missouri, which is in the heart of Amish country. We saw several Amish horse-drawn wagons on the road and the area was especially scenic. Since we were there in April and it was still cold, everything hadn’t greened up…

Last week I wrote about the first quilt shop that my two friends and I visited on our week long quilt journey. But one of our main destinations on the trip was the Missouri Star Quilt Company in Hamilton, Missouri. Jenny Doan has created a mecca for quilters and it did not disappoint. We were…

A couple of weeks ago, I went on a quilting trip to end all quilting trips. Two friends and I flew from Houston to St. Louis and then started our own private shop hop. We flew in on a Sunday when most quilt shops are closed. But fortunately for us, we had heard about the…

I talked in my last post about our bee retreat at “And Sew It Began-Pieceful Stitches” and mentioned how much fun it was shopping in our pajamas. So I thought I would add a couple of photos. The face has been hidden to protect the innocent! I wanted you to see more of the quilt…

It was our first stay at “And Sew It Began-Pieceful Stitches”  in LaPorte, Texas, and it is a fabulous place to retreat. Ronda Stockton, the owner, could host her own remodeling and decorating TV show. The house is a beautifully…

As mentioned in my last post, I can not go a week without my quilting fix, even if it is just to fondle fabric. If you’re a quilter, you can relate. So on one of our day trips, I found another quilt shop. This one is called Fabricate and it is located in Bar Harbor,…

My niece was getting married in Maine last week, so my siblings and I rented a large house and spent the whole week in Castine, Maine. It was such a beautiful area and there was a lot to see and do. However, as a quilter, I guess I have to admit that it is impossible…

Every year, we visit my sister and brother-in-law in Pensacola, Florida. People are always surprised that we don’t go to the beach while we are there. We spent a lot of hours on the beach when our kids were growing up, but now there’s somewhere else that I can’t miss every time I make the…
