Small Town Quilting

Some ladies at my church have a quilting group.  They invited me to join them.  The majority of them are in their late 70s with the one closest to my age probably being around mid-50s.  We have little in common except love of quilting.  We even have opposite tastes in fabric, but they are seriously hilarious.  I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy the group.  Two of them took me on a trip to go to a quilting store out in the middle of No Where, Oklahoma about an hour north west of where we live.  It was so much fun.  We drove through small towns.  They look exactly how I would picture old towns off of Route 66.  They are almost stuck in time with their old buildings and one stop light.  It was so charming.  The ladies informed me that other than the military bases, OKC, and Tulsa, this is what the rest of Oklahoma looks like.
The fabric was drool worthy.  I mostly just window shopped, but it's fun to look at all of it.  I loved all the gorgeous quilts that lined the walls.  They were truly stunning.
 This sign outside their shop just cracked me up.  Only in Oklahoma...
The ladies then took me to another small town called City of Kingfisher for lunch.  We stopped at an old school pharmacy that has a little kitchenette in it.  The food was surprisingly good.  They're famous for their orangeade.  It's made with freshly squeezed oranges and it's delish!  BB loved the orangeade and drank most of mine for me.
