Good morning everyone! I just checked out the web site for Rainbow's End Quilt Shoppe recommended above and it looks like one to add to your must-see list! Their web site (http://www.rainbowsendquiltshoppe.com) is great and easy to navigate, and if you click on "about us" they have a wonderful fast slide show of their products arranged beautifully in their store. I signed up for their online newsletter and will definitely try to visit them the next time we're in the Tampa area in May. Thanx for this great quilt shop suggestion!
Happy quilting and shopping,

Back home safe and sound. Wonderful week with my blood sisters on the east coast of Canada but I missed my triangle sisters. Quick visit to LQS in Digby NS quilt fix to hold me until I got home. Happy I didn't miss sort day. Joan

Hats off to you lovely ladies who have been doing all the work!!
It has been a really fun part of TQS.

I was in Florida in February and went to Rainbow's End Quilt Shoppe. They have a wonderful, large selection of batiks. In fact, some of my purchases ended up in my HSTs (like I needed more batiks or fabric of any kind). And they have the largest selection of Christmas fabrics I have seen anywhere.

If you have the time, stop for lunch at Bon Appetit. It's just down the block and on the bay. The food was fabulous and the service was perfect. The ladies at Rainbow's End can direct you there.

Enjoy your trip and fabric shopping! No trip is complete without a stop at a quilt shop or two.

If you are in the Tampa area or FL don't miss Rainbow's End Quilt Shoppe in Dunedin, FL an amazing selection of quality fabrics and the rest of the community has great shops and good eats. Enjoy our sunshine!

oow! Don't ever stop travelling. Ever. That's my 2 cents.

You're right quiltzgirl. As it happens I'm going to FL to visit my quilt buddy who moved there two years ago. She said she knows where all the good places are. As long as I have my plastic with me I'm happy and of course I add on frequent flyer miles while using it.

Shirley, Never stop traveling. It's always an opportunity to visit another LQS. Nancy

I watch F & P but the show here wasn't on triangles last week. I checked their website, it is 1501, but is only available on TV and if they get it on video you have to pay.

I'm looking forward to my triangles but in no hurry because I have two graduation quilts to make by the end of May. I'm getting close to finishing one top but haven't started the other. I also do my own quilting and next week I leave for FL for a week. I need to stop traveling.

I just saw Fons & Porter on our PBS station in Houston this past Saturday - they said it's series 1600 - is that the same series? The show I saw was a totally different topic.

Well, phooey! I don't get it on TV either and I certainly don't need another time sucker!

I don't get that program on my TV but I noticed on their web site that you can subscribe for a year for $19.95.
Not something I can do right now but maybe later.
