Paradise? Yep, my Thursdays are my day in paradise...I get to go to work in a QUILT SHOP!!!

| This was Pinwheels $5 Block for 2010 (You pay $5 for the first block, bring it back the following month done, and you get the next months block for FREE!) All you gotta do is stay for a short promo....I started mine, but it's still in the works!! |

| This is going to be our 2011 $5 Block...you get the 12 star blocks, then you have several setting options (of course that's extra$$) |

Normal days are pretty relaxing, but today was CRAZY.....We are having an AFTER CHRISTMAS sale, Fabrics/notions/books 25% off, patterns 35% OFF, and some fabrics marked to $4 per yard, and all Christmas fabrics were 50% OFF!! I did bring home several (4) yards of Basic Grey Fruitcake by Moda...for my Snowbound BOM(Bunny Hill)....I just LOVE my Thursdays, especially when my co-worker Missy P is there with me, but we do get into some trouble when we're there TOGETHER...She somehow how this way to persuade me to bring home MORE FABRIC!! Guess that's why I LOVE her...I sometimes think we were separated at birth, she's just too funny!...But I was going to post pictures of the quilt shop I took today...ON MY PHONE, so pardon them if they are a little blurry...Normally I would use my Canon7D, but as crazy as it was today, I was lucky to snap a few with my iPhone... The shop is Pinwheel Fabrics...owned by Charlotte Williams. I think she has been open for 6 or 7 yrs now...Sadly to say we are few and FAR between quilt shops...We have another about 40 min away close to Hot Springs (Hickory Hills), and another about 45min away in Conway(Circle C), BUT due to the economy, this is her last week of business....:( She's closing!..Really sweet young lady, but she just can't pay the bills......But on the upside, hopefully with the sales at Pinwheel this week, we're looking forward to the new year and NEW FABRICS!! Here's my pics!
