It’s always fun to visit different quilt shops. Earlier this week some friends and I took a road trip to Buffalo. We discovered the coolest quilt shop on Elmwood Avenue, Elmwood Village Fabrics.

One of the things that makes the Quilt Get-Away so much fun is all of the great food we have at Bristol Harbour. I think everyone who attends is probably as creative in the kitchen as they are with their quilting. I missed the conversation at the retreat about the Ice Cream Sandwich Cake, but [...]

Thanks to everyone who attended for being so cooperative and making my job so easy. If you have [...]
