This year's trip was a great success, thanks to Sally Nimblett's organizational skills
and hard work along with the program committee's efforts. Friday night's pizza was
delicious. (Even the second time around!!) Dottie Macomber headed up the
games and awards and all who attended had great fun visiting local shops, sewing,
and having a good time! (Can't wait till 2010!!!)

| MYSTERY TRIP/SHOP HOP - MAY 30, 2009 |
We were blessed with the one good day of this week - glorious sunshine and warm temperatures!! With 30 gals
on board a luxurious bus, Norm took us first to Candlelite Quilts, an absolutely charming shop in Chelmsford, MA.
Lots of yummy fabric, a second floor just for Redwork and Wools. Owner, Kathy Ruggiero, is a most gracious
hostess! We all did out part to bolster the economy and Kathy saw us off with a gift for everyone. Great visit!!
(For those of you who haven't been there, it's well worth the trip.) Please check their website for directions, class
schedules, etc. Click on the link www.candlelitequilts.com

Next stop was the Quilt Patch, in Bedford, NH. More fabric, patterns and boosting the economy. The gals
there held a drawing for us. Trish Horgan and Pat McIntire were the winners - congrats! Check out the Quilt

On to the Chestnut Quilter in Hooksett, NH. A unique shope in a house, with (guess what?) fabrics, kits,
patterns (and antique sewing machines) in every room. AND a long arm machine in the kitchen-dining area.
Very interesting. Link to their website here - check out the quilted wing chair!! www.thechestnutquilter.com
Our last stop was at the Pine tree Quilt Shop in Salem, NH. HUGE. Even though it was the last stop of the day
we all did our best in the economy stimulation department. Below are pictures of the shop taken at another
time. It's an easy drive if you need a quick fabric fix! www.pintreequiltshop.com
