Florida Breeze Shop Hop-stop #1

We are back in Daytona Beach for the month of January.  This week I am participating in the Third Annual Florida Breeze Shop Hop.  6 days...6 shops.  At each shop you pick up a kit to create a12 inch square.

My first stop was to The Sewing Garret in Daytona Beach.  I needed to sign up and get my Shop Hop Passport.  After handing over $6.00 I got my passport stamped and was soon holding the contents of my first quilt square.  The shop was bustling with ladies.  Pina coladas and cookies were available as well as a $5.00 calendar created by local realtors to benefit the American Cancer Society.  The picture each month is an embellished bra.

After filling out my ticket for the hourly prize and a chance to win a quilt, I was off.

Here is the quilt The Sewing Garret created from the 6 blocks.  The square from their store is the Sandman at the top left.  The lady in the picture is actually a cardboard cut-out.
