The Great Fabric Round-Up Shop Hop
Quilt stores located in southeast Arizona collaborated to sponsor “The Great Fabric Round Up”, an opportunity to visit their stores this week. At each store, your official Shop Hop Trail Card is stamped and you’re given a free quilt block pattern and other gifts. For example, The Quilt Basket gave us each a copy of Dorothy Kinsley Wray’s book Garden Party: Grandmother’s Flower Garden Quilts and More. I tried to find a source for the book for you, but suspect it’s a now-defunct vanity press formerly operating in Tucson.

Clarice of Storybook Woods made this necklace and named it for me. It’s so wonderful to enjoy handmade blessings from friends. True treasures, that’s what each and every thing is to me. Thank you, dear Clarice. You can find her products at her brand-new Etsy shop.
Amy Butler Softwares
Amy Butler has partnered with The Electric Quilt Company (ECQ) to offer Amy Butler Softwares, a CD with 22 sewing projects you can customize via your computer—slated for release May 15.
I’ve pre-ordered my copy of Amy’s new CD from ECQ. You can see some of the new projects here.
Mama Mia!
The cast of the musical Mama Mia! is here in Tucson as part of their North American Tour. My husband loves this musical, so he and some other folks at work scored tickets for tomorrow—ought to be a blast.

I love shop hops! And thanks for the heads up about Amy Butler's software, it looks really interesting!
June, you were my first and biggest blog supporter, and I was lost without you and your cheery comments. I'm so glad for YOU!
You'll love "Momma Mia" --it's a fun show and definitely a "sing along" :-)!
The quilt trail looks like a fun way to explore a lot of new shops! Clarice's necklace is very pretty too.
Hugs, Pat
That tour was only a 1/3 portion of Brooklyn, NY! It's a big borough and has lots of diversity, some bad, but most good, as you could see! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The shop hop sounds really fun! I'm hoping for a little time to check in on my favorite yarn and fabric shops this weekend!
I don't always comment, but I do always read your blog - really about the most interesting one I follow!

You’re an endless source of fantabulous ideas and projects!!
Yesterday I had a very small quilt trail!
I've always thought it would be fun to do a shop hop. There is one in Wisconsin that I've always wanted to be a part of....'course, that's a ways to go, just to shop! LOL!
Sounds like a wonderful weekend!
