    My DH took me and the kids to Lancaster Monday and Tuesday for a short vacation close to home. Plus, my son had to be in Gettysburg both days for a test. But we spent all afternoon Monday and Tuesday going through the quilt shops and buying fabric. :D My DH had a blast helping me pick out fabric for my quilt. I met some wonderful English and German ladies who were here for the quilt show over the weekend. (I missed it) :cry:

    But if anyone is going to be going out to Lancaster, Zook's and Old Country Store are great. I went to a few others, but these 2 really impressed me with their selection and prices. As soon as I am finished using all this fabric I will be going back for more. It is worth the drive.

    That is some great fabric. My favorite is the brown with flowers.

    My DH is worse than me about fabric. He is great. He cuts all my pieces out and I sew. Last night we stayed up cutting out moms quilt pieces and I had a chance to start piecing it.

    The "Holly Hobby" is going to be made into a lap quilt for my sister. When we were kids my mom decorated our entire bedroom in it. I thought she would get a kick out of it.

    How fun! Gorgeous material!

    I think there's gonna be a lot of women wishing their husband had your husband's enthusiasm.

    I just wish I could go on a road trip to Lancaster.
    I love the Holly Hobbie bundle. I have one bundle that I got at walmart before the fabric died, but not enough to make a quilt,at least I know that it's not impossable to find more. Thanks for sharing.

    Fantastic!! I keep promising myself a trip to Lancaster but I just keep getting sidetracked.

    Love the fabric. I'll keep those places on my "list" to visit.
