Back from Alaska and more shopping

 I am back from my second trip this summer, to Alaska.  Hubby and I had a wonderful time, but I won't bore you with details.  Except, my fabric shopping!  Of course!

From Shop #1, Northern Threads in Fairbanks:

A beautiful kit with panel and fabric.  No we did not see the northern lights (nights are only 4 hours long in Fairbanks in the summer!) but it will be a memory anyways.

Shop #2 in McKinley Park (just outside Denali):

A set of Fat quarters.  Some of the fabrics are from a line of Texas wildflowers, but so what - they remind me of the flowers I saw in AK.

Shops #3 and #4, Quilt Tree and Quilted Raven in Anchorage:

Cedar waxwing fabric, and on the right, fabric with ravens and salmon pictured.  So pretty.  Now to get to work on finding coordinating fabric and start on some AK projects.  But first, a UFO - the Dutchman's Puzzle project I blogged about previously.

I've been shopping!

 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.
