4/29/17: Nimble Thimbles Shop Hop

Nine members of the Nimble Thimbles and Cherry Creek Lane Quilters enjoyed the Sixth Annual Scenic Route Shop Hop this year! A big thank you to Britt for organizing this Shop Hop and to Carol and Linda for driving!

   Here's the brochure posted in the window of a Thread Runs Thru It  shop in Rustburg, VA.  If you click on the link, it will take you to their FaceBook page where you'll see the Nimble Thimbles in their teal blue t-shirts! Thanks to Joanna for designing the 
t-shirts and to Britt and Joanna for making the shirts!

Happy shop hoppers wait in line to purchase fabric!

With three shops to cover, our group spread out and we did not get a group photo at Quilt Lizzy's.

The Scenic Route Shop Hop was delightful adventure! We had a beautiful day, gorgeous scenery, excellent fabric choices and time to bee with quilting friends!  Next week, quilters will reveal their purchases and share ideas about what to make with all that fabric!!!!!
