Snowbirds heading North.

Marc-  We made our first 6 1/2 hour journey North today to Georgia.  It was sad to leave the tropical climate and vegetation.  There were no palm trees by the time we reached Northern Florida.  The long leaf pine forests dominate Northern Florida and Georgia.  We walked around this nice campground on arrival and found ducks and birds including mallards, whistling ducks, swans, geese and loads of egrets.  We also found one section of the campground with cabins and blossoming pear trees.  It is Spring in Georgia.

Sue- We were going to be within 5 miles of The Scrappy Rooster Quilt Shop in Kingsland, GA on our way North today, so we stopped by.  We had been to this shop when we were heading South and staying next door in St. Mary's, GA.  I bought some patriotic fabric there and found that I need more.  Unfortunately, what I wanted was sold out.  I know where I can buy more on line; it just would have been easier to get it here today.  

This is the shop where, on our last visit, we met a nice fellow running the store who is originally from Bridgewater, MA.  He is a long arm quilter.  Today the owner was working, and she is also very nice and welcoming.  She gave me a free pattern for an Easter Egg runner that she had sewn and had hanging in the shop.  I found more of the Alice in Wonderland "Curiouser and Curiouser" fabric line in a bin with 1 yard cuts for $7.99 per cut.  That's a great price for a yard of nice fabric.

I think I have enough fabric now for at least 2 years.  And maybe longer!
