    I enjoyed the videos of quilt shops. I have discovered new shops to buy from and follow. I have so much new fabric and notion and patterns. Thanks for making quilt shopping so much fun. I now have new places And friends to shop at across the country.

      Hi Katie,
      Glad that it is working out for you. That was exactly the point of what we were trying to do.
      Be well.

    Thank you, Scott, for encouraging the shops to show us their stuff in these awesome video tours. Thanks, too, to everyone who participated. I loved visiting them all, even if it was just via my computer or phone. It’s really fun to see how creative some shop owners are and I’ve added a lot of new “must visit” shops to my ever-growing list. Vanessa’s Google Earth grand finale tour was way cool! Thank goodness for the internet, debit cards, and free shipping! 😀

    Loved all the videos! I plan to spread the love ($$$) and order from several of the shops featured – the videos make it so easy! Thanks El Jefe!
