Oklahoma Quiltworks was the first place I went to when we moved (almost two years ago! My goodness time flies.) that I felt like I belonged. They immediately welcomed me into their fold. They understood the "modern quilting" consumer. I was in heaven. Since that first visit I have gone on to form friendships with some of the people who work there, I have taken a class, joined a hand stitching group, found my guild, and frankly when I just feel like I'm going to burst because I haven't talked to a grown up in a day or two...they're there for me. And on top of all of that...they even welcome my kids! Not every store is happy to have a 2 and 3 year old walking through the establishment.
So, do I love my local quilt shop? Whole heartedly. The ladies at Quiltworks are part of my Oklahoma family. So, any day that celebrates them is totally worth it in my book.

| I stopped by today and left with my totally awesome "Make and Take" pincushion in "Comma", and I WON (WOOOOOO!!!) this Jelly Roll of Denyse Schmidt's "Chicopee". |
Yay for winning! My LQS is called Quiltworks too! How funny. I jumped the gun and visited them yesterday. It was my only kid free moment! :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, lucky you. It's so nice when you find such a great place. As they say in the "Cheers" song--"Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name and they're always glad you came."
ReplyDeletehow cute are YOU?! so cute.
ReplyDeleteand totally jealous of your chicopee design roll, i need another one but no one seems to have any more! I'm going to hit up MO star quilt co (kind of my LQS, only an hour away!) this weekend while driving through this weekend.
