N. Texas shop hop

The North Texas Shop Hop starts tomorrow (Sept 9 - Sept 12)
I'm talking 17 shops all giving out a fat quarter
to everyone with a shop hop passport. My driver, DH takes this
as a challenge and tries to finish all 17 shops in one day. Its his
day off and if he chooses to chauffer me around so be it. I will
at least buy him lunch that's just fair.

Sounds like fun!! My hubby would love a challenge like that. What a nice way to
get the guys involved in quilting.

If you get as far west as Weatherford, my DH is helping out at Peachtree
Quilts. Just ask for Bob and tell him hi.

No fair - I can manage about 3, possibly 4 if I drive fast enough and
the traffic isn't too bad (and the M1 isn't crowded with caravans...)

Have a lovely time - and let us know how far you get! We're all drooling
here this side of the pond you realise...

Trust me, Suzie,

This shop hop isn't easy, even for us natives. I did it once a few
years ago with a friend, but there are too many shops too spread out.
We didn't make it to all of them.

Diana is lucky to have her DH drive her. I think mine would rather gnaw
off his arm! Plus, he wouldn't want me to spend any money.

Happy Stitching,
Janet of Gar

Wow, how exciting. I don't think I have 17 shops close enough to visit in
one day. I am so envious. Hope you have a wonderful day.

Love in Stitches,

Coleen
