    I hope you find The Quilt Patch in good shape. It's a charming shop in old town Fairfax but it recently had a busted pipe flooding the shop and they just reopened. It's funny that I know this while I'm in Michigan but it was in my old guild's newsletter.

      We went to the Quilt Patch today! It was wonderful! I found some King Tut thread for my convergence quilt, and some brown for leaf stems for the fusible quilt I'll make with my mom next month. I plan on checking out G Street Fabrics next pay day!

        Wouldn't it be wild if I know her? What neighborhood does she live in?

          My husband said Glen Alen, but I've been down to her place and short Pump was all over the place. and I cannot remember what high school Thomas goes to. we went down to see his band practice their routine for football games. She doesn't quilt, and her two boys are in 6th and 9th grade, she is busy with their schedules and works at a hospital.

            when did G Street in Potomac Mills close? [sob]
            I don't know but boy was I surprised last time I went there, I think that was late June. I had bought all the fabric for my BOM's there (block, sashing, borders, etc.) Breaks my heart!
            The funny thing was that my boys were always more than willing to go to Potomac Mills b/c there was a Lego Outlet, but we heard they had closed, but I wanted to stop by for fabric... so we pull in, NO G Street! But, we needed lunch so went in anyway, and what do we find? A NEW Lego Store! No longer an Outlet, only a few stores down from where it had been... My loss, their gain :roll:

            Anyway, I do love Quilting Adventures too. If ya'll are ever headed up or down 95, Fredericksburg's only LQS is just a mile or so west on Rt. 3, Quilt and Sewing Center. They've just moved into a new, larger space & have some beautiful stuff...
