Mini-shop Hop!

No not for miniatures- though that would be fun!

So your second guess would be for fabric and that would be correct!

After dropping Miss Quinn off at camp for the day I headed north for an hour and a half-give or take some minutes!  (Missed having Quinn next to me in the truck!)

First I went to Crossroads Quilting in Cameron, MO.  I have been there before and its a nice little shop but nothing fell off the shelves and into my hands there!  

Then if was off to - wait for it. . . 

Yep, Quiltown USA!

They have several buildings-one for wools, one for batiks, one for brights, 

you get the picture.

So I wandered about and bought these:

Two fat quarter bundles and a piece of blue.

The bundles for projects that will be gifts.

The blue is an alternative for the blue I have now run out of for Brayden's Trip!

Oh, NO!

A closer look at the fabric in the fall bundle.

And here are the holiday ones.

I bought some bits and bobs as well-they have really cute things!

It's fun to go there but I don't go often as it's a bit overwhelming as well.

There's the "Which shop did I see that print in again?" thing going on.

After lunch, where I had a nice chat with some folks from Grand Prairie, Texas.

(I really must be a Hickam as I will chat with most anyone-as will most any other Hickam!)

Then I was off to Chillicothe!

The shop there is called Cuts and Bolts, fun name.

These also fell into my hands and also have projects they are needed for!

Then, I nearly did cartwheels!

I went on this little jaunt looking for a specific blue stonehenge fabric,

They had it!

Why was I so excited?

This is the last square of this fabric in Brayden's Trip-which is almost 2/3 complete.

I really didn't think I'd find it so I was thrilled!

I had another shop on the list for today, but with the late start and all the fun I had shopping and chatting plus driving on back roads the store would have closed before I could get there.

Oh well, another trip!
