I was so sick about it!!!

What a great haul you made! :-) I can totally understand the "shock and awe" when you first enter the doors at Keepsake. Still happens to me every time I go!
Beachlady, what are you waiting for? Consider yourself personally invited and get on over here. It's Route 1 to 22 to 25, simple as can be...75 miles, tops...and great foliage all along the way!!
Last time I was there, a man gave me $200 in cash and asked me to buy a gift certificate for his wife. He was afraid she would catch him at the register and he wanted it to be a surprise for her birthday. I bet she was plenty surprised!!

I love keepsake Quilting. Been there several times. Each time I emptied my pockets. lol
That is where I bought my paper pcs kits.
You need to have a couple of hours to brouse... and then you can go to the knit shop and the craft shop. Oh. maybe a day would do it.
Glad you had the chance to enjoy.... :wink:

Nice haul Hissunshine!
I reeeeeally love the fall fabrics! If you don't have anything in mind for them, and just can't find the room to put them somewhere, I will GLADLY take them off your hands!!! :)

Very nice fabric. I don't pre wash (hate the idea) but I did see on some quilting show if you don't want to prewash iron with the steam on and that will pre shrink your fabric. But you need alot of steam so maybe mist if you don't have an expensive steam iron.
