If you are in Oklahoma City, and you are a quilter, take the time to drive out to Hennessey, OK and visit the Prairie Quilt Shop.  Randa Parrish and the folks working there are so friendly and helpful.  I had the opportunity to visit with them for a book signing of Just A Quilt?  I have to admit that I got more and more nervous about this adventure to this rural small town the closer I got.  It reminded me of those summer vacation trips to visit my Grandparents in Kinsley, KS.  When I pulled up in front of the building (my worries about a wasted day being fortified by being able to park right in front of the store) it was just one more old store along a Main Street that seemed to have plenty of businesses that were struggling.  But then I stepped inside.  Now, don't take me wrong, it was still an old store but the friendliness of everyone immediately brushed away my fears.  It was clear that the fabric selection was great as you browse the three rooms of fabric and  walk over a wonderful creaking wood floor and enjoy the old tin ceiling overhead.  Do ask to see the classroom upstairs.

Thanks Randa for inviting me!
