Lucky girl, I'm sure you will all have a fun time. When I was recovering from surgery and couldn't work for a few weeks, my best friend (who loves to drive, by the way) would call me up and say we're going fabric shopping. We went to JoAnn's, Ben Franklin's, and 3 or 4 other quilt shops in the area, one had discounted some of their bolts of fabric to $2.99/yd. - $3.99/yd., so needless to say we had fun. It was the same fabric that had been on their shelves, but they were making room for new fabric. We had a blast, searching the shops, having lunch, then going home to "fondle" our fabric. I remember one fabric in particular I had purchased as a quilt backing, however, it had other ideas, wanted center stage and I made a gorgeous quilt which I donated to my church for their Harvest Fair Raffle and it was very successful. Does anyone else have fabric speak to you?
