Aloha, y'all. Both the trip and the birthday were fabulous. YES, I did go to the quilt stores, and YES I shopped. Got a rainbow from the Maui Quilt Shop (F4 bundle of yellow to orange, 1/2 yd bundles of red and pink, green, blue, and purple) I call it my Maui colors. I did find a beautiful batik kit for a pineapple applique top but it was too pricey for my taste. Guess what: DH bought it for me. He says it made my face light up and since it was my Birthday, he HAD to get it. LOVE THAT MAN!!!!! I also found a Jade thimble for my collection. So my shopping mojo was utterly fulfilled.
The bad news is that my Mom sent me $50 to use for something quilty AND I am going to a retreat this coming weekend. EEK. Will I be strong? It's not that I NEED anything.
