Quilt Shop Update

Just wanted to let you know that our local shop, Wooden Gate Quilts, changed hands recently and we fabric shoppers are so happy to hear that news. Many thanks and a very fond bye-bye to Marby Bennett who will now have more time to sew her own quilts and play with her granddaughter.
