Wagner's Quilts and Conversations in Arapahoe was a nice airy, well lit shop with an adorable Mary Englebreit display as well as many other appealing displays.

You might not be able to tell from the picture, but the upper left picture has a pair of shoes that are used as planters for some succulent plants.

To simply state that the Quilter's Delight in Holdrege would be an extreme understatement! I spent my time sorting through the buttons and left with a bunch!

I love the quilt that Quilter's Cottage in Kearney made with this year's Shop Hop fabric line. Big, easy blocks that let the prints play!

OK, I've tried to be somewhat impartial while reporting the shops to you, will you forgive me if I have a favorite? The Material Girl in Grand Island is amazing! It's set up like a high end fashion boutique.

And if you love Kaffe Fassett, they've probably got every fabric and book he's come up with and lots of samples made up!!

If you're in the area, ya gots ta go to The Material Girl - it's even worth a special trip!

The Calico Cottage in Hastings was a great shop in and of itself, but it also had beads, scrapbook, and yarn! You could spend your whole vacation right in this shop!
