Yesterday a new Quilt Shop opened up in my neck of the woods… I think I’ll go and check it out…I’ll take my camera and give you a full report tomorrow!  In my dream last night, it was stocked with Civil War Fabrics , homespun and wool…and looked an awful lot like The Country Loft…! :o)  Fingers crossed…

Have a wonderful Wednesday…Hope to see you tomorrow!!  Same time, same place? ~P
