Want to know the best way to beat the summer heatā¦? Go on a shop hop of your own. This weekend, we took the time to go visit my brother and his lovey wife in Bozeman and of course we had to stop at every shop along the way. Makes for a more comfortable trip if you stop often and stretch your legs. A 2 1/2 drive might have taken us 5 hours. Even better, we got him to chauffeur us around to a few more shops. He was a champ. Might have to owe him one after this. We met some amazing quilters and shop owners in our travels. The quilting world is smaller than you think. While we were shopping in Whitehall we ended up chatting with a gal from our home town. The owner there was such a delight she took the time to show us an awesome ruler and technique developed by a fellow Montanian. Each place we stopped at greeted us with friendly smiles. Any and every quilt shop is always a wonderful place to visit and chat with fellow fabric lovers. Side note, donāt leave the child unattended with the uncle, she might return with a fun drink with whipped cream.
