Our Shop Hop included a Bangor's newest
quilt store, The Cotton Cupboard Quilt Shop, that was celebrating
its Grand Opening. Shirley, Pat, Liz, and Theresa taking chances on
the many door prizes |
Members didn't mind (too much) standing in
lines to buy quilting supplies at several of our stops
Sadly, we ran out of time and
didn't make it to Stitches Quilt Shop in Newport. A super
shop, we'll definitely go there next year.

and dinner at the Olive Garden in Bangor completed our day. |
