I had so much fun

Having @marsha32 along encouraged me to visit more stores. I need a shopping buddy. The shop hop is a success as far as I am concerned.
Neat little incidentals: In the second shop we visited in a really small town, I ran into someone who I had enjoyed working with in McPherson. Her mother-in-law owned the shop. Such a fun visit.
In the town where we began to have car trouble my niece came to see if she could help us out.
Marsha had never visited a yarn shop so we went into one near a quilt shop.
I can hardly wait to start sewing more. I was combining some pieces this evening.

I think the one in her town closed down several years ago.

Yes, we had one in town, and yes it closed down. They had open knitting group time that I was always going to check out but never got around to it.

Do you do a lot of needle work? The yarns have such rich colors.

@GardenGerty not as much as I used to but I still manage to do some. I love to knit and crochet.

Sounds like a very enjoyable outing. That is so nice. I haven't been in a yarn shop in years.

There were some really neat shops in little towns. It was a good time.

All I want to do now is sew, sew, and keep on sewing. I have my day at home today, but still not doing much online around sewing, but that is how I like it.
I put together the disappearing 9 patch and the disappearing 4 patch blocks from the patterns just to see how they are.
Now I'm working on finding strips for that pattern card I bought. But, I am also cutting strips for the rug and squares for the soscrappy blocks. I'm doing my usual...jumping around from project to project.

I don't think I saw the pattern card. Maybe when I come to Hutch in a week or so I can get with you.

She does not get too many breaks from family so I bet she did. It is easier to visit in person.

If I would stay off the computer I might start sewing more. You do really lovely work.

@GardenGerty yesterday I didn't accomplish much. I spent a lot of time on the computer. I was upset and then I knew I had no more than 15 minutes to work before I was headed out of the door again. Today should be a little better.

I feel like it is a really motivating factor and I learn a lot as well.

I like sewing very much. I stitch personally all my sofa cushions.

Those are fun projects. It is great to be creative and add personal touches like sofa cushions.

When I first met marsha she did not have a machine and she made many things with hand sewing.

I have never even heard of a yarn shop. Sounds neat I might have to see if there is anything like that around me.

The colors and textures of the special yarns is impressive.

It seems that your trip was not only fun but productive

I think it was quite productive. I know that one shop is going to be on my frequent list.
