Off to NH & Boston

Well, we'll be leaving in about 30 mins for the long awaited trip. I'll be seeing Cheryl and having a meet & greet with several of the other stitchers who live in that neck o' the woods :-). I have THREE bags to schlepp so I'm glad DH, my sherpa, will be along. I'm hoping to have some needlework shopping fun with Cheryl if we can manage to have the time. I WILL go to northern NH where Keepsake Quilting and, and, and -- oh **&#$&%*& I can't remember the name of the LNS who puts out the great catalogue but it's owned & operated by the same folks who do K.Q. Should be an expensive trip, to say the least :-}}} The nephew is getting married on 10/10/10 so I have to have "nice" duds to wear for all of the family gatherings with fancy shoes, etc. Plus I have a whole passel of souvenirs for everyone. The Mother of the Bride (who prefers whiskey as her drink of choice) is paying for hotel rooms for ALL of us -- that's SIX rooms for three nights and a load of $$$. As a thank you I have three bottles of different whiskies and a large box of chocolate liqueurs for her -- all of which I got while in Scotland. That stuff is HEAVY so I have it distributed in two of the suitcases. Let's hope the Federales who do the security don't abscond with it!!!!! Stay safe and have fun while I am away. CiaoMeow >^;;^<

BTW, the LNS in Meredith, NH, Hunters, has closed as a bricks and mortar shop. They do sell on Ebay. I was disappointed when DH finally found a parking place...........and they were empty.I believe the daughter who owned it teaches at a college somewhere, and her parents were manning it last summer (2009). Her mother was having to go to dialysis twice a week........which probably prompted the closing. I used to enjoy stopping by.

Keepsake NeedleArts, at Center Harbor, NH is all part of the Keepsake Quilting. It only sells kits, some real books (not charts) and cute accessories...and part of that shop has been taken over by quilting supplies. I needed QSnaps, and the sales lady didn't know what they were. So, we found some hoops in a corner of the larger quilting section, and low and behold I found the last set of 8 inch Q Snaps I needed. I also needed a skein of DMC floss..but they had very little of that, and not the color I needed.

On the plus side...it is certainly a quilting mecca....and there are tables of marked down cross-stitch kits on the porch.

Adjacent is a very knitting shop, and the rest of the building is scrapbooking.

Thee is a Quilting shop in Plymouth NH, adjacent to a Knitting shop. They are both on Tenney Mtn Highway. The quilting shop does sell DMC; she is closed either Monday or Tuesday..I think Tuesday.

You can tell where I go each summer when we are up in God's Country!!
