Road trip and fun

What a fun morning I’ve had! Swimming as usual, and then to Panera - nothing new here. But then we got to talking about a relatively new quilt shop in North Georgia that also sells yarn. Some had been there, some hadn’t. FIELD TRIP!!!!

As it turned out, four of us piled into one of our cars, left the others in the Panera parking lot, and headed out. This place is incredibly dangerous. Especially when going with a bunch of “enablers”. There are two rooms of wonderful fabrics - for quilts, of course, but would certainly do for general sewing. And books and supplies for other thread-based crafts. And then there’s the yarn room. OMG!!!

Well, I’ve been looking to start on a project other than socks - and now I have two. One is a semi-lace cardigan (white), and the other is an entrelac (interlocking diamonds) shawl (ruby red). Nothing like finding things to spend money on - and a terrific place wanting to help you do just that. And then we went out to lunch at a nearby tearoom.

John wound my skeins of yarn into balls, but that was about all the work that happened this afternoon.

Then Allan called, and we met Allan & Tina and Vicki & Roger for dinner at Biba’s Italian restaurant. Another delicious meal, then home for some more conversation to close out the day.

A terrific day with good friends!

What a wonderful day with its dangerous discovery. I could have a glorious time in this shop with my quilter Mum!
