Hello again, and I am back from a week's vacation. No sewing this week or so, but I have been shopping, and I'd like to share with you my loot.
From Shop # 1:
My mom saw the pattern on the lower left and fell in love with it. The owners helped us pick the array of fabrics on the right, as listed in the pattern, and cut the correct yardages. This will be a Christmas present for my mom. Not shown: a set of bobbins for my Janome.
From Shop #2:
Backing for Mom's quilt, a fat quarter, a Jelly roll, and a gently used book by Gayle Bong.
Store #3:
Mottled batik yardage, for rebinding my son's quilt (red), for sashing my Flying geese project (blue), needles, and fat quarters (of course!)
More travel next week, but not much room in my suitcase, so I will look but probably not buy much.
Linking up with Midweek Makers, Put your foot down at For the love of geese, Needle and Thread Thursday, Can I get a Whoop Whoop, Nina-Marie, Finished or Not at Alycia Quilts, Oh Scrap at Quilting is more Fun than Housework.
I have a page on Facebook: keep up with my infrequent quilt posts at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Viridian61/347674418583948?ref=hl

What wonderful treasurers you found during your shopping trip! Thanks for sharing with us! I'm impressed you already have destinations in mind for much of what you purchased!
I love the selection of fabric from shop 1. Hope your short vacation proved relaxing. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down last week.
