today was nancy's day to check out another quilt shop, this time in parker, colorado. and it was a day for us to spend some time with nancy's stepdaughter, chrissy, who lives, coincidentally, in parker, colorado. but first, i had to take care of truck business and get the oil changed in the explorer, which was slightly overdue. after leaving the grease monkey (an oil change place) we were on our way to the high prairie quilt shop, when nancy and chrissy decided they needed a break at starbuck's for a caffeine fix first. when we arrived at the quilt shop nancy had all the time she needed to find fat quarters, patterns, and what-have-you that can be found in quilt shops (you all who quilt know what i mean). more goodies than you can shake a stick at and then some. as you all can see, nancy and chrissy just had to model some t-shirts that the quilt shop had for sale: the pink one says "lead me not into temptation, except quilt shops" and the white one just says "inventory control" showing a quilter not sharing her stash. nancy and chrissy also found stuff to make a quilted bag for chrissy, and lucky me, i found a quilt piece about 2-ft.x2-ft. of a horse head, so i guess maybe this'll be a start for a new "western" quilt for me. ple-e-e-e-ease, honey, i need a quilt, too...
