What a wonderful day it was for our June 15, 2009, Shop Hop! Kudos to Michaele J. and Kerry D. for their work organizing this trip! Thanks, also, to the four shops which welcomed us so nicely. Most of us thought we would go back to visit these shops on our own. We just wish the discounts (up to 25% on regularly-priced items and fabric) offered to us on this shopping trip would still be in effect!
Stores on the Shop Hop:
Quilt 'N Sew Studio, 829 So. Mason Rd., Suite 224, Katy, TX 77450
Quilters Cottage, 920 FM 359 Rd., Richmond, TX 77406
Quilter's Emporium, 11925 Southwest Freeway, Suite 11, Stafford, TX 77477
Quiltworks, 250 NW Freeway (at Skinner Rd.), Cypress, TX 77429
Quilt 'N Sew Studio was our first stop. They had many people available to cut fabric at several locations in the shop, which was especially wonderful.
Quilters Cottage was the second stop. You cannot imagine the extent of this shop from the front...several buildings are connected together! They had a great selection on sale, too.
A definite advantage of shopping with other quilters is the advice you can seek from them. Folks at the shops were good about offering that kind of help, too.
Quilter's Emporium didn't allow additional photos. We were grateful that they allowed us to eat lunch in their classroom. Some also ate on the bus.
Quiltworks was the fourth and last stop. It was HUGE with the largest classroom we had ever seen. One of the co-owners (three sisters) demonstrated silk ribbon sewing on pin cushions.
Lynn T. found a major project, and we can't wait to see it!
