Has it truly been a year (actually longer than a year!) since Mary was here visiting her sister? Has it truly been a year since I had the opportunity to meet her and get to know she and Mike and her sister Dorothy? Mary's blog is
Faith Fabric and Photos and she also has a quilting blog called
FFP Quilt Corner. Visit her at both! Also, last year I posted pictures of her visit to Tucson from Indiana on my main blog A Colorful World...see that post
HERE. Today I want to share on my quilting blog because, after a marvelous lunch at Union, we all headed to Cactus Quilt Shop to do some looking and buying! Cactus Quilt Shop is located on the corner of Orange Grove Rd. and Oracle Rd. on the west side of town, and has been my "place to go." They had been to the shop before as well. We all had a great time getting caught up and visiting, enjoying our marvelous lunch, and then doing that little bit of shopping. So good to see them again!

| We three ladies....Notice how colorful we all were with our shirts!My hubby did not join us, since he so kindly takes care of our grandson so I can get away. He's such a sweetheart, that way! I was a little disappointed he got left out both times, so NEXT year! :-) |

How nice it is to be with friends and enjoy good food, fellowship and quilts. I mean, who could ask for more?
ReplyDeleteJust found this post! I don't usually like photos of myself, but am glad to have these. Hope you don't mind that I copied them. I didn't get any decent photos of Dorothy and I while I was there, and it is nice to have one of you and Dorothy and me, as well. I do enjoy my visits with you and know we would have a lot of fun together if we lived closer. Wish we had time to actually get together and quilt when I am there. Keep me posted on joining the guild there. I really like that quilt shop....one of my 2 favorites there in Tucson. Wish you could visit me here in Indiana some time! See you again next year, I hope.
ReplyDeleteHow much fun this looks to be. Such a pretty shop!
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to been there with you! What a great looking shop!
