Also,Pamela, Mary Maxims in Port Huron has some nice material. It's not real big but they also have scrapbooking things too, so you can support both habits at one visit!!!

Yes, I've been to the quilt store in Paradise. It's a very nice shop, although I'm always disappointed that there's so few sale fabrics! I'm definitely a sale shopper! I've been to Mary Maxims too, in fact that's where I got the fabric for the quilt in my avatar pic.

Sewmom,

I was going to be, but this is performance weekend at Garber HS of the musical Annie and my daughter is playing Miss Hanigan. They have a matinee and an evening show tomorrow, and I will not be able to make it (need to get the gypsy robe done for the cast party on Sunday, and have to go to the florist to pick up her bouquet). Wish I could be there, but motherhood duties will prevent.

That's what moms do-kids coMe first. We can plan fabric buying trips anytime. Yesterday I was consoling my daughter aafter the vet killed her cat. She was sooo upset. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to go to FF and everyone else would be there and I'd miss them.
