Spring Fling 2013…

Our first stop was ‘The Stars and Scraps Quilt Shop’ in Corona, CA!  There were five of us in Siena’s truck barrelling down the I-10 Freeway!  Siena was weaving in and out of traffic like a real pro…yup, she really knew what she was doing!!   We were gone from  sunup to sundown and we did ALL EIGHT shops in one day and lived to tell about it! 

There were a total of eleven Clubhouse quilters in total…in two vehicles…and man we had fun!!  All eight shops were fantastic and gave each participating quilter a square from a Monet panel and a fat 1/8th of matching fabric.  So in total, if you went to all eight shops, you would end up getting the full Monet panel and 1 yard of coordinating fabric.  Very generous of them as fabric sure isn’t cheap!

So here we are arriving at the ‘Stars and Scraps’…this is the picture that I got when I asked them to line up for their annual Shop Hop Photo! Sheesh…anxious to get shopping or what!P1220534

I can see why they were in such a hurry…wow…what an incredible shop!!  So much to see, so much to touch…so much to buy!

Seattle Judy was excited to see Cheryl Wall’s quilt hanging on the wall!  This is the quilt that Judy is currently working on!

Nice shop…eh!  So wave good-bye to the ‘Bluebird of Happiness’ and the ‘Stars and Scraps’… as it’s off to the next shop! 

See you tomorrow for more shops to see, more fabric to touch and more things to buy!!  Are you having fun yet??

Have a Fantastic Friday and Happy Quilting!~P
