Back from a vacation to visit a sister in Omaha, Ne. Stopped at MSQC and Marshals dry goods on the way home. Both were great, MSQC had lots of construction going on, putting in new wide sidewalks. Loved looking thru all the shops, bought a few things. My favorite was Marshals. What awesome prices!!!! If I had a lot of money I could really go wild in there. As it is I bought 22 yards of fabric for 61.00. I will definitely be going back! We visited the quilt museum in Lincoln , Ne. Beautiful! There was an awesome display of quilts from Israel and one from China, inspiring seeing different techniques, got lots of ideas. I drove over 2000 miles over the last week, got home late last night so today is definitely going to be a lazy day, but am anxious to get started on some new projects. Have a great day quilting all!

I want to go to those shops! I do plan to do it on our next driving trip-but not this summer. I have been to the museum in Lincoln and highly recommend it to anyone who loves fabric and quilts. It is masterfully done. I would have loved to see the featured presentation you saw. I would go there every time I go through that area if I had the chance. So, I'm glad you enjoyed your trip and you deserve a lazy day!

I'm envious! I would love to visit both places. Enjoy your rest then get started sewing!

Oh I would love to do a road trip to MSQC, but it is a 30+ hour drive from where I live. Definitely need to plan a 3 week holiday to give myself lots of time to stop along the way.

It is on my 3 year out plan. Once I get my degree, I plan to give myself a nice holiday.

Oh - so you went on a F.A.R.T - Fabric Acquisition Road Trip - LOL

Wish that you would have gone to Paducah, KY to see the Quilt Museum there and to the famous Hancock's of Paducah.
