Checking Out Quilt Shops

Today I went to Raleigh area to check out motels and quilt fabric shops for my local quilt guild's  fall retreat.

I visited 3 very nice shops. The workers were so helpful and friendly. All the shops had plenty of beautiful fabric, patterns, notions and completed samples. I was inspired...I bought several patterns and rulers...and even a newly released Christmas panel!! Gotta get busy sewing!!! The shops were the Carolin Sew-N-Vac Plus, Bernina World of Sewing and Wish Upon A Quilt. They all have websites. I know I'll be visiting all 3 again.
