Hey everybody! These are sad times in La Veta. The Mountain Valley Quilt Shop closed this week. In this case, it was not due to economic problems, but the owner's husband left retirement and took a job in another state - so she closed to move to be with him. However, the emptiness here reminds me about how vital quilt shops are to quilters all over the world. What would we do without them? So, when you can, support your local quilt shop. Tell the owner and workers how much it means to you that you have them there for supplies and support!
Oh - and if you are looking to move to La Veta - there's now a great location to open a quilt shop that really did amazingly well in this little town.
