PA Row by Row and Stash Report

I spent a whole $2 on fabric remnants this week.  Most of it was 3/4 yard of a yellow and white print since I'm low on yellows.  I also bought a small bag with some colors I'm low on: red, purple, and orange.

I don't have any fabric used this week to report, but I'm chugging along on Carolina Christmas.  I lost a few sewing days when we went to Pennsylvania to visit our son, but I picked up 5 Row by Row patterns on the way.  We visited:

Log Cabin Quilt Shop in Bird in Hand, PA
Piece by Piece in Ephrata, PA
Stitch & Craft in Manheim, PA
The Quilt Shop at Miller's in Ronks, PA
Brubakers Sewing Center in New Holland, PA

Of course there are patterns I like more than others, but I enjoyed visiting each shop.  At Miller's, there are a lot of finished quilts for sale.  They hand out gloves so you can touch the quilts.  Even DH was entertained in this shop.  Brubakers had a lot of sewing machines, new and used, but no Berninas. They gave out jar openers with their logo and a wrapped gift (mine was a pattern for a felt pin)  too.   Log Cabin Quilt shop handed out recipes along with their quilt pattern. I enjoyed talking to the lady at Piece by Piece.  That's the one place where I bought the kit for the row because her colors were so pretty.  We barely got to Stitch & Craft before closing, but the girl  at the cutting counter was very nice.  I'd have liked to have more time in this shop.

DH was a good sport through all the stops.  Sometimes it is no fun to shop with a non-quilter along, but he kept himself entertained on his iphone while I looked around the stores.  I kept my purchases small:  goats milk soap, aurifil thread, hex n more key chain.
