Green Tomato Soup

I’ve kept myself entertained for three weeks with what I saw and did during the Wasatch Quilt Shop Hop. Now I’d like to mention what didn’t happen. I didn’t visit Material Girls in South Jordan. They were originally part of the shop hop, but at the last minute they pulled out without an explanation. They made this decision after some of the materials for the shop hop had been printed, so I know Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café by Fannie Flagg would have been their book. It’s a shame. I loved the book. I suspect I’d have liked the store, too. Other shops I missed on this trip were Red Rooster in Providence, Threads of Time in Centerville, and Gentler Times in Cottonwood. Gardiner’s Sew & Quilt was also missing from the shop hop, though it’s still in business. I wish I’d known that before we drove past Ogden.
