The touch of spring we are enjoying makes me want to be out of the house, and luckily for me, I have a trip planned. Tomorrow morning, my daughter Nicki and I will be headed to the Des Moines, Iowa area to give a lecture and workshop, do some shop hopping, meet with Prairie Women, and have some fun!
While Friday will be a travel day, I do plan on stopping at The Woolen Needle in Williamsburg, IA....a shop that was featured in the last Quilt Sampler issue and one I really want to see. It's my kind of shop and has not only lovely cottons but wool, too!
Saturday will bring me to two special quilt shops where I will not only get to shop, but also get to spend time with the ladies who belong to the Prairie Women's Sewing Circle clubs. In the morning, I will visit The Quilting Connection in Ames, IA, and in the afternoon, I'll be at Adel Quilting & Dry Goods shop in Adel. I am soooo looking forward to meeting everyone!
The ladies from the Eastern Polk Quilter's Guild invited me to give a workshop on Sunday, and a lecture on Monday evening....so, if you're in the area, please join us! I promise that I will take pictures and post blog reports about the goodies I find along the way! I'm also gonna try to post frequently about my trip on Facebook. I'm not too good with Facebook just yet, but Nicki has a masters degree for Facebook, so she can assist her poor, clueless mom! Stay tuned and enjoy your springy weekend! Pam

Have fun Pam! The Woolen Needle is awesome - you will love it - don't forget your credit card!! You will have to report back on the other shops you visit. There are a few others in the area that are nice - you should be able to entertain yourself all the way to Des Moines!
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip!
ReplyDeleteOh!! I wish I could come. It sounds like my kind of trip!! Have fun and be safe. Karen Schultz
ReplyDeleteYou are going to have such a great time. I visited all those shops last summer and thought I had died and gone to heaven! There's a great shop in Ankeny too....between Ames and Des Moines....if you have a chance.
