Nothing like the real thing…

I finally got my hot, sweaty hands on the latest Quilt Sampler’s Magazine!  I have been waiting for this magazine ever since I shopped at Quilter’s Haven in Bounty, (Salt Lake City) Utah in April!! 

      

While I was chit chatting with Joni, the owner of the shop, it came up that Quilt Sampler was going to be doing a feature article on them and in this issue!

So here it is~Tadah~

Now IN REAL LIFE this shop is WAY nicer!!  The pictures do not do it justice…which must mean that all the shops featured in the magazine are even better than the pictures indicate!!  Don’t get me wrong…the pictures are fantastic…BUT the shop is OUT OF THIS WORLD!! 

Check out this picture of Hollyhill Quilt Shoppe in West Linn, Oregon…they have a WOOL section…see the quilt in the left hand corner…the pattern for this lovely little quilt is in my give away (check yesterday’s post).  Hmmm, West Linn, Oregon…we will be driving through Oregon next winter when we start our Snowbirding trek down south…I must get a map out…I think a detour is in order…don’t you?

I think it’s time I met Jan and Brian Hill…owners of Hollyhill Quilt Shoppe. 

I do love this magazine…it’s like visiting the shops all over again…OMG… I see the Stitchin’ Post!!  I loved visiting the Stitchin’ Post…(twice)…think I’ll need to pour another coffee as I ponder our next trip south…hmmmm…Livermore, California (In Between Stitches)?…Livermore..has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?!

Speaking of visiting~ Did you have fun yesterday visiting all the Give Away Blogs?  A little overwhelming, wasn’t it?!  Some of the comments were well into the hundreds!  Yikes!

To those people who entered my Give Away I am sorry I didn’t send a comment back… but I was/am too busy visiting everyone else’s blogs!!  Hope you understand…I’m sure you’re doing the same!  Good thing we have a few days to enter…so what are we waiting for~ let’s get those running shoes on and get back at it.. AND good luck!

Have a terrific Tuesday and Happy Quilting!!
