This one is for Sue!

My pal Shellie and I went to check out a new quilt shop that opened up in my town. It is called Cafe Sewciety Quilts. LOVED the shop! Just what this town needed. Anywho, as I am scoping out the place, guess what I see?



Pick Four by our own Sue Abrey!! Of course I just SNATCHED up the book and had to tell the owner about "knowing" Sue! She said that a friend of hers..I believe her name was Dorothy...at Martingale told her that this was a book she had to sell! So..she is!! I had been trying like the dickens to win a copy, but I bought mine at this fine shop and am thrilled with it!

I did also buy a few pieces of fabric that I needed for a block swap. Great trip!

Then Shellie and I headed off to the older quilt shop in town. I have never been a fan of this one...not very friendly if you are not part of their little clique. anywho..nothing there.

So, off to Joann's. Shellie was in search for a tote for her machine and I still needed to get some material for a retreat we are going on in a month. Guess what???!!




MORE Pick Four!!!! At Joann's!!!!????? That is HUGE, Sue..to be picked up by a big chain like this!!!! Unfortunately, there was no one around there that we could brag that we "knew" the author! (DRAT!!) lol

Sue...I am soooooo THRILLED for you that I can't even tell ya!!! Hope this made your day!!
