Do you think my son will notice if I skip his college graduation at UMass and join you? After all, I did promise each of my kids a quilt for graduation and I am 3 behind already! Maybe I can just text you all day and you can send me pictures of all the goodies ( this seems to work for all the teenagers, why not us?) Hee hee. Have a great time !

I'm guessing "yes" to the graduation! As far as the texting? Let's just say my phone is one step up from a rotary dial. hehe, no pictures. I've had my plan since the bag phone days and the price is right. haha

It looks like the weather will be nice, just have to get an apple or two to bring for munching.

Oh! Lucky you! Keepsake AND a tent sale! Hmmm! do I feel a cold coming on? Maybe I should play it safe and call out sick and then leave for camp -- in the morning instead of after work (and after the sale!)

I'll be there. The sales are no longer what they used to be, but I just can't resist!

Yes, I have gone a long time ago. It's a lovely shop. Don't remember finding a particular bargain there though. Hubby and I were coming home from Maine and in close proximity. He needed a restroom and I needed a fabric fix. Even if you purchased nothing, it's wonderful to walk through, and such pretty area.

You guys are just downright MEAN! I'd give my eye-teeth to go to their sale... whether it's as good as it used to be or not. It's KEEPSAKE! I just got the newest catalog yesterday & I'm "saving it" till my next MD's appointment (next week) as a treat! I'm rewarding myself with a medley! Y'all have fun at the sale & spend some $$$ in my name!

Hanging my head low.....catch the red-eye??

southpstitches, I agree, their regular prices are no bargain that is why the tent sale is so great. My favorite is the make your own scrap bags. Whatever you can stuff in a bag they hand out is $5. I average about 86 cents a yard this way. It is odd sized pieces, not quite FQs, end of bolts etc. The under the tent fabric is usually about half price.

Debbie, I am so sorry you are suffering from allergies. *sneeze* you must head North for the fresher air. It will clear your head, brighten the complexion and put a hop in your step. I think your doctor will write you a note.

Idoquilts, not sure what I'll be wearing but I'll probably have my green totes for the scrap bag fabric. C'mon up (Friday) and say Hi!!
