But the ultimate shop hopping was happening last week. You see I left on this-
went here -
here -
We also found some great bargain fabrics here -
It was so exciting to find name brand fabric for $4.99 a yard! Red Rooster, Benartex, P & B, South Sea Imports and lots more. We almost could not get out of there. I had to be really good, because I would be taking things back on a plane :-(
I did get to see a little bit of this -
So that is what I have been doing for the last five days. I had so much fun with my BFF. We talked, and sewed, and talked, and ate, and talked, and sewed, and just had a grand old girlfriend time.
I'll catch up more the next time. I'm glad to be home, although a little tired.
Happy quilting :-)

It is always so nice to spend some time with a sewing friend. Nice to get away and shop shop shop. :o)
Yes.....let's see all the goodies you bought.
Oh my, sounds like the perfect girlfriend trip!
What a hop that was, Jocelyn - so glad to hear you had a grand time! :)
Blessings.
Gotta love the Amish fabric shops.....spent a good part of last week in the Amish (and Mennonite) shops in the Lancaster, PA, area. Their prices can't be beat. I plan to go back frequently now that I've discovered them!!! I'm glad you had a great trip, too. (At least I had a car and could buy a LOT.....no luggage restrictions for me...LOL)
I would dearly love to visit an Amish community and see their quilts. Over the years, all of our fabric stores have disappeared...we have JoAnn's and 3 quilt stores, and that's it for almost the entire county. If I ever get to travel, I'm definitely going to check all the quilt shops along the way. You are a lucky girl...now show us what you got!
That really is the "ultimate" shop hop. Can't wait to see what you bought. Rest up because I think you have a lot of sewing to do, LOL
Loved your post about the Amish shop hop. I was back in that area in July of 2008. I recognize the first shop on your post - Miller's Dry Goods. That was a fun store.
It sounds like you had a great time.....now lets see the loot.
Good for you! What fun to go to all of those shops (good therapy!). ; )

P.S. Like your KJV Bible verse on the sidebar.
Sounds like an absolutely fantastic trip! I'm jealous!
Oh you lucky ducky! A BFF and Amish Country! Sounds like a dream to me.

The last shop hop I participated in I covered over 300 miles in two days and visited about 26 quilt shops. Talk about exhausting! Lots of fun though. One of the complaints I often hear about our shop hops is that the shops are not allowed to have sales during the event. Kind of puts a damper on everyone's pocketbook, but fun nonetheless.
