Although I take my stitching, sewing machine, and thread with me on the road, there is a crucial piece of my quilting life I leave behind. Girlfriends!
On some trips I try to find a class or workshop along the way. And on this adventure, I was gifted a unique experience. One of my Instagram friends invited me to her wool stitch group! I was worried because of our breakdown that I would miss this opportunity, but G worked hard to make it happen...I so needed the time with girlfriends. Little did I know that this stitch group met at the most incredible quilt store!!! The Olde World Quilt Shoppe, was, in a word...INCREDIBLE!!! If you are in to wool, primitive, home...with a dash of this or that...this is the spot for you.
Dee, the shop owner, has to take a rest from what it takes for her and Cheryl to create this wonderful environment.
I can't believe what a boost to my quilting emotions the invitation by Debbie to come play, did for my quilting soul. It was like being back home with my stitch group. The same banter, lovely personalities, sharing and help for each other. Kathy even ran me to the grocery store afterwards!!!
I left with a pocketbook that was empty, but a quilting soul that was full, and I highly recommend when you are on the road to seek out and be open to a new quilting adventure that includes new girlfriends! And so I am a new member of the Wooley Bees (I got to name their group) and I know I have a home away from home! Thanks you from the bottom of my thread box for your kindness!
