In October of 2014, just shy of my 21st birthday, I started an adventure with my husband. The adventure: trucking across the United States. The goal: visit every quilt shop I can (at least one from every state) and bring home souvenirs. I wasn't able to make that goal in the 8 months we were out, but now I'm happily home and sewing more than ever :)

South Dakota: A World of Endless Wonders
We finally got to another state, and another fabric store! This one is in South Dakota, called Fabric City:

Nebraska, Nebraska
On our way back down to Texas, we stopped in Valentine, NE, which was a really cute little
town with a really cute little fabric store. The shop we visited was
called Country Fabrics and Crafts. They had quite an array of
fabric types, including some denim fabric that I got to patch some of our
pants.
Howdy, Y'all!
Yep, I’m cheesy like that.
Sorry for such a long hiatus, I’m not very good at this
whole blogging thing. But I got to another shop! It was about a mile away from
where we parked, and it was in Texas so it was really hot (even in January) but
it was worth it. A cute little shop called B & B Quilting in Buda, but it had quite
a few bolts of fabric. I got to meet one of the owners, and she helped check me
out, which was pretty awesome.

Montana, woo!
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season this year, no
matter what you celebrate! We got back on the road on the 28th, and
spent our new years in Casper, WY. Didn’t do anything special really, but I did
try deep-fried Oreos a couple hours before the new year…pretty great last meal
of 2014, if I do say so maself :)
Before we stopped for the night on the 31st, I
was lucky enough to find a quilt store in Montana, just a couple blocks from
our delivery. That was pretty cool, it usually doesn’t work out that well. That
shop was Thimbelina’s, in Livingston, MT:

Delaware
I finally got to a quilt shop after Hawaii!
It's been almost a month, but I got to run away from the truck long enough to visit a shop in Delaware.

Hawaii!
We had a wonderful 8 days in Hawaii! I know this year hasn’t
been all that cold yet, but it was still nice to take a break in the never
ending sun and enjoy some sand =)
While there, we were lucky enough to visit 5 quilt shops,
including a shop that actually sells traditional, hand-sewn Hawaiian quilts. I
was good and didn’t buy too much fabric, but what I did buy was very fitting.

Back on the West Coast!
11/12/14 2:21 PM
So we made it back to the West Coast before I got to another shop, and that shop was in Washington (where I visit all the time, but I've never been to this one!). We had to go through that "arctic storm" in North Dakota and Montana, which was awesome 'cause I love snow. Of course, it was REALLY dangerous and often scary, but I like to look at the positive things in life :)
