Finally got together with my quilty friends yesterday for a long overdue FART. We went to a newly opened LQS. Really neat place. It's in an old established neighborhood with large homes, well maintained, gorgeous. But--they put a 4 lane highway right down the middle of the neighborhood (all in the name of progress). Now all these old beautiful homes are offices or small businesses. They did keep the historic exteriors. The LQS is on the first floor of home that was built in 1815. She kept a lot of the architectural details but still has a large selection of fabrics and notions. Lots of Civil War repros; that may be my next project. I like the colors a lot, remind me of fall colors. Only bought 2 FQs--I practiced such restraint LOL but we had a good time. This is the first we've gotten together all summer. Weather was perfect--cool upper 60s; maybe that's why I was thinking fall. Today it's 80*.
