My DH took me for a ride upstate to Walton, NY to one of my favorite quilt store. Everything was on sale. MMM, that's odd so I asked the important question and received the news I so hoped wasn't true.... They are closing the store.

Well, 2 hours later, this is what got. There's so much more I want. :(

Well happy birthday anyway, it is so sad to hear of the LQS closing. It seems so many are closing these days, or discontinuing their fabric departments.

Nice gift though.

Oh, great haul.... To bad they are closing.

craftybear 08-10-2010 03:58 PM

wow, awesome birthday! can you tell your hubby that you want to go back and stock up on fabric for Christmas and other gifts in the future

thanks for sharing, see if the quilt shop has any fixtures for sale if you need any cutting tables etc.

Happy Quilting

Love your fabric. It makes me sad when I hear about another fabric store closing it's doors.

Oh, that's a good idea. I didn't look in their classroom. They do have a number of beautiful quilts and things that are for sale. I simply ran out of $$

Happy Birthday! Sorry that your favorite store is closing.

dkabasketlady 08-10-2010 10:02 PM

Happy Be-lated Birthday to you!! You had a great shopping trip by the looks of the beautiful fabric. Sorry to hear that the LQS is closing. Maybe before the doors are closed you might have some extra $$$ to buy some more fabric at even more discounted prices!

sharon b 08-10-2010 10:31 PM

Belated Happy Birthday ! Looks like you got exactly what you wanted :wink:

Happy birthday....what a nice DH you have to think of giving you an outing to a LQS for your birthday.

mygirl66 08-11-2010 03:43 AM

A fantastic surprise!! Happy birthday to you!! Love that haul -- especially those blues and greens are luscious! Can't wait to see what you do with those!! :D :D :thumbup:

SharonAnne 08-11-2010 02:41 PM

Always a sad day when a LQS closes. I wouldn't assume you have much choice of places to shop there (I went to college in Delhi, NY) unless maybe Oneonta? Love the blueberry fabric and the Santa fabric. Happy birthday.

Jingle 08-11-2010 03:32 PM

Late Happy birthday and beautiful fabrics. I'm not surprised quilt shops are closing, with people watching their money in these hard times, it's hard to pay the kind of money they charge for things.

pab58 08-12-2010 09:00 PM

Wonderful birthday goodies!!! It's so sad about your quilt store. :-( That happens far too often anymore.

annette1952 08-12-2010 09:36 PM

Happy late birthday! Have fun with all your new fabric!
