i did laugh about it. not gonna tell anybody at home what i did! i made the circuit of quilt shops and then went to harry hines blvd where there are some fabric "wholesalers". golden d or had some quiliting fabric on clearance for 1.99 yd. really! i found some fabric i'd seen in quilt magazine and one in particular that i hadn't been able to find but really wanted. it was some good stuff, not a lot of selection, but way way better than the walmart $2 a yard.
i had a fun time looking and some buying. i also went to sam moons, a costume jewelry and hand bag store. of course, i bought some stuff.
having a good time so far and leave for nicaragua tomorrow morning. won't be quilting there!
