Well! Beautiful Bonnie & Krazy Kristie picked me up at 8:30am Saturday and we hit the road! First stop involved eating a huge breakfast at Shari's Restaurant, then we planned our route for the shops in the Boise metro area. First we went to Kuna, to Knit One, Quilt Too - cute place and the $$ spending began with a bang. We then went to A Quilter's Garden in Meridian, Idaho Sewing & Vacuum (Boise), The Country Quilter, The Quilt Crossing and Quilt Expressions (all Boise). With smoking credit cards, we hit Highway 55 on our way to Crouch/Garden Valley to stop at Snips N' Stitches; one of our favorite places.
The Red/White/Black (and ugly) quilt is the featured Shop Hop Blocks quilt - and none of us liked it... However, all of us flipped over the Vintage Valentine Quilt above. More pictures below showing the quilting up close. Bonnie & I both signed up to be included in this Block of the Month program, so will be making this one eventually!
We were here a LONG time and spent way too much! More to come later....

Hi Becky - This is my first visit to your blog, and I WILL be back: we have a lot in common! Quilting... doggies... reading... perimenopause... LOL! Plus, I used to have family in Boise and Emmett, Idaho. Beautiful area!
I wish I could have joined you on the quilt shop hop. It sounds like you three had way too much fun!
OH the quilt shop hop sounded like it was a blast, I wish I could have joined in. We are planning one in the fall for Ada & Canyon County. Did know there are 3 new shops in Nampa?
Which shop did you find the BOM in? I agree it is beautiful. Are you going to post more photos?
