Grand Country Quilters

A Newsletter from Grand Country Quilters in San Marcos, CA advertising their after Christmas SALE had Kim and I heading for the HILLS…literally!!  We piled into our truck…my hubby driving, Kim’s hubby, Don as co-pilot and of course our dogs for encouraging licks and guidance…we made ‘er to the shop bright and early!!

While we shopped the guys were off to a park to give the dogs a much needed run!  We had ONE HOUR to get the job done…and man, did we get ‘er done!!

Seeing this sign was all the encouragement we needed to get into the spirit of the season!!  The Boxing Day-After Christmas SALE Season!!

This quilt was STUNNING…and reminded me of the wee mat that Glynis just finished (I will be showing you pics of Glynis’ mat SOON!!)  This was a huge quilt designed by 7 Potatoes More…a new designer?

Yes, that’s Summertime above it…looking spectacular!

We will finish the tour with this sweet Cheri mat…LOVE this mat!!  Yes, this pattern came home with me LAST YEAR!!  Must make it!

So how did we do??  …all I can say is…. “START THE CAR!!  START THE CAR!!” 

Kim and I were both carrying big bags and we were just a couple of minutes late…nothing to fret about apparently because after this shop it was off to The Fat Quarters Shop in Vista…and YES, there was a SALE happening there too!! “ SCORE!!” 

Tomorrow I will show you what we found at The Fat Quarters Shop…believe me..you will want to come back for this…be prepared for tons of eye candy!!  In fact it was eye candy OVER LOAD!!

Whew…that was like shopping all over again!!

Thanks for coming along…see ya’ all tomorrow? ~P

    Your road trips are costing me money! I love it! I would never get to see these shops if not for your photos (especially enjoyed all past photos from Temecula). Thank you so very much for all the time and work you put into your blog. Best wishes for the best new year ever filled with joy, good health, and lots of stitches!!!!!

    Taking all those pictures cut into your one hour shopping time. But I am glad you took the time as I enjoyed seeing all the shop has to offer.
