Quilt Shop Hop - Day 4

Got back on the road today with the intent of visiting 11 communities. Unfortunately got a late start (8:15 a.m.) with first stop 1.5 hours away, opening at 9:00 a.m. I obviously am a poor planner? I did, however, get to visit seven fabric shops in seven communities, even taking the time to stroll through each shop admiring all of the fabrics, patterns and finished quilts. It's amazing that no shop duplicates another -- each one is unique matching the personality of the owner.


So 12 hours and 554 miles later these are the fat quarters I scored for Noah's quilt. Fabric shops getting my money today were: Sew Bee It in Hebron, Quilters Delight in Holdrege, Wagner's Quilts in Arapahoe, Cottage Inspirations in Cambridge, Sew Little Time in McCook, The Quilt Rack in North Platte, and Prairie Point Junction in Cozad (where I was reminded that closing time was 5 p.m.!)

Five shops remain in south central Nebraska -- so, tomorrow I will get up earlier, leave at "x" hour, arriving at first stop of day at 9:00 a.m.!!!
