njquiltergirl Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Just wanted to send my thanks to our own Connie in Virginia Beach. Before our family vacation over the Fourth of July, Connie send me a list of Local Quilt Shops in the area. It was fabulous to have her personal notes and great contact info on each shop. I had my own personal Shop-Hop! I got to five of the shops, spent too much but got great fabrics for a number of UFO's that will soon be finished! Caught some holiday sales too. Connie you were so sweet to check in on me while I was on the road. The cell phone connection was very, very bad...felt like I missed every other word...it must have been all the bolts of fabric in the way! Our APQS family is a treasure. I thank you again for your kindness...next time let's meet for lunch. Lisa APQS Liberty NW New Jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Lisa, glad to help. I'm lucky to have many great shops in the Va Beach area. Sorry, we didn't get to meet but I was busy getting ready to go on vacation also. I'm in Gettysburg, PA and plan on getting a bunch of fabric before leaving tomorrow.

Gator Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Carol, I placed WYSNS as Number one on the list I gave Lisa. She did go there!! Where are you located? I'm in VA Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol Halstead Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I too live in Virginia Beach, Pungo/Creeds section of the city. I'm hooked on this blog and all it's readings! I'm in the market to purchase my first long arm so I keep checking but in the meantime just getting ideas for peicing projects, and all sorts of other information. Today's best find, the info on Fabric Hut! LOL You are an APQS dealer? Live in Red Mill by chance? If so, I do believe I'd corresponded with you before.

njquiltergirl Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hi. Yes, I did go to WYSNS. A very busy shop. Seemed like a good class or quilt bee was in the works when I was there. Made me want to join in! I felt like I hit the jackpot at Fabric Hut. Wow, there have a ton of fabric! A Different Touch was wonderful also. She is a Bernina dealer and had every foot and attachment made. I was impressed! One other was great...wish I could remember the name. You are lucky to have so many shops. It was fun to visit them...I'll be back in a few months and get to do it again. Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol Halstead Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 That's great Lisa! Glad you enjoyed your trip. WYSNS has sewathons most every weekend. It's a "family" up there for sure. You should come in February for the Quilt Show in Hampton. That's amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Lisa, give a yell next time you come to town, we'll have lunch or coffee or something (Carol too). In the off season we can hit the shops in Hampton, Williamsburg and Newport News!!!!:cool: Carol, yep I'm the APQS dealer here in VA Beach. I live in the Salem area. You're welcome to come by and play on my machine anytime. I love Fabric Hut and WYSNS. I teach at WYSNS but taking the summer quarter off. Have fun on the forum!!!

njquiltergirl Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Hi Carole. That shop did have a family feel...I walked into the big room on the right and everyone was chatting up a storm. It was nice. I have never timed a visit right...I always miss that Hampton quilt show. I think it is run by Mancuso, who does many shows up here, so I did not think I was missing anything. But more and more I keep hearing about how good that show is! I'll have to see if I can arange something for next year so we can all hook up. Hope you get your APQS soon...they are such fun!
