Open House

I wasn't expecting to wake to snow this morning.  I was so
upset when I looked out my window because my friend,
JoAnn, and I had been planning on driving down to our
favorite quilt shop, Pine Needles, to their Open House.
Several phone calls were made back and forth trying to
decide what to do.  Even got on the computer to check the
hourly forecast and road conditions.

Should we or shouldn't we?  What were the conditions
coming down Sardine Canyon?  Even checked with my
son to see what the freeway was like as I knew he would be
on it.  Apparently, our area was really getting it and once
we drove further south, conditions were better.

Finally, a decision was made, and JoAnn was on her way.
And how happy we were to head out.  Roads were wet
but the skies seemed to be lightning.

Pine Needles recently moved into a new renovated space
and we were so anxious to see everything.  It was
worth the drive.  Their new shop is wonderful and so
open and spacious.  With Holly's permission I snapped
a few pictures:

 

Don't you just love it!

We actually held ourselves down quite well, I thought.
Only bought a few pieces of fabric to go with a project
we are wanting to make.  Oh and a couple of patterns
which I'll share later.

While there my son called to say the roads were clear
and dry and the storm had passed.  By the time we
headed back home, the sun was shining.  So glad we
made the decision to go.
