Quilt Tours of Vegas


I don't have any sewing to show you, but I want to tell you about this great tour. Have you ever been in a city and wanted to visit all the quilt shops? There is a great quilt shop tour of Las Vegas. call Susan Tracy.
My friend and I took her tour this week and Susan picked us up at the Hotel. We drove to Boulder City, Henderson and then back into Las Vegas. Susan offers different levels of shop hopping. We took the five shop and lunch package. I want to ramble and tell you everything, but I really want you to take the tour and experience it for yourself. This was a great business plan to have a quilt tour of the city. I wish every city I visit had one.
I was on the hunt for Minkee. My friend wasn't sure what she was looking for, until she found this great pattern for napkins and a table runner. Then the hunt for fruit fabric was on. Our companion on the tour was hunting for Pear fabric. We all found what we wanted. I would show off pictures, but Susan also offers shipping via flat rate boxes, so I boxed my fabric and goodies and had her mail it home. The fabric will be there when I get home.
I had lunch with two other Embroiderers that live here in Las Vegas. Three hour lunches are great. It was fun to put faces to names on one of the Yahoo Groups I belong to. We talked and laughed and brianstormed problems we have with different things. I have a ton of new ideas to try when I get home. I miss my sewing machine. I want to be sewing right now, but I'm in Vegas until Monday and then I fly out on Tuesday to Ft Leonard Wood Missouri.
