My aunt and I had a great time and we're already planning for another one maybe next year. I had been planning this trip for 6-8 months. There are only 4-5 stores on Oahu with quilt fabric. I knew I had to make the most of it while on the mainland and I knew that I would draw a blank when I entered a "real" quilt store. I had put together a 3-ring binder with about 15 projects I would like to complete and included a photo of the project and the fabric requirements for each project. My aunt was so impressed with the binder that she usually had everyone in the store take a look. Was kinda funny, but it sure kept me focused.
