I had a very fun day yesterday. I took part in my first Shop Hop! I went to 5 different quilt shops.

There was lots of driving involved! We started out in Massachusetts, drove north into New Hampshire and ended up back in Massachusetts again. 


Every shop gave us a free fat quarter as well as a quilt pattern. At the end of visiting the 5 featured shops, we were given a coupon for 20% off total purchase at each of the participating shops. We were also given a blue zippered case where you can place your quilting tools if you're taking a class or sewing at a friend's house.

There were some great sales going on at each of the shops. This is the stuff I ended up buying! I'm so glad I can return to these shops and use my coupon. I saw so many other things I want! 

All in all, it was a great day. We ate lunch at Daniel's in Henniker, NH. This was the view while we were eating.

We were tired when we got home but it was well worth it. Quilt days are always fun!!

  2. Fun! Looks like you got some nice goodies, but showed restraint, too! Not easy when you’re visiting new quilt stores! It’s a fun day to spend with like-minded fabric-enablers, I mean, friends! 😉

The Christmas table runners have their binding! I started sewing the binding on the runner on the left. They're not very large so it'...
