Today is National Quilting Day. How are you spending the day?
I am doing a little quilting as I have some projects on a deadline. More about that tomorrow. But, it only seems right to visit a quilt shop on National Quilting Day.
So today I am going to Snappy Quilts.
It is their last day. They are closing which makes many of locals here so sad. Nancy the owner has health issues and can no longer run the store. No one bought it so it is closing. Nancy created a great store- it was only three years old and in the Quilt Sampler magazine last spring.
So many people loved the feeling she brought to her store, her wonderful staff and her mix of fabrics, well, you can’t find that anywhere else around here.
So, on the day to celebrate quilting, I will go and celebrate (and mourn) a wonderful shop that was close enough to walk to from my house. But I would have traveled to it. It was that good.
happy National Quilting Day,
Kate
