One great fabric/quilt store
#1
My sweet hubby took me to a great quilt store while we were on vacation in NH. He let me wander around for a couple of hours...while patiently waiting to go to the racetrack. :)
I think I walked in a stood there with my mouth open for a full five minutes. :shock: We don't have many fabric stores around here and none near as big as this one.
Here's what I got from Keepsake Quilting:

Last but not least, I got some beautiful autumn prints. I didn't have a project in mind when I picked them out. I'd like to make a wall hanging and maybe some placemats if there's enough fabric. If anyone has any patterns or suggestions, I'm open. :)
Oh, one other question: I usually prewash fabric, but do you prewash 5" charm squares???

Wow--You got to go to Keepsake Quilting!! I am in awe!! How fun for you. I can understand why you were just standing there with your mouth hanging open!!
Your fabrics are all great--but I am just curious about all the baby fabrics--are you trying to tell us something???

I WOULD wash the squares especially if they are darker colors. Just hand wash them in the sink and lay them out to dry. Better safe than sorry. I was very sorry when I first started quilting , didn't wash some dark green fabric, put it in a wallhanging for daughter and the dark green color bled into the surrounding cream fabric. I was so sick about it!!!
