Vacation Fabric Purchases... 9 new projects
 
2 Attachment(s)
While on Vacation here in Delaware I have purchased 9 new projects. Some will be Christmas gifts others will be just because.

I had fun shoping in 4 shops all over the state. (Delaware is only 90 miles north and south)

I have met the nicest people and they were very helpful and I look forward to the next trip.

You got some great fabrics! Some of them look very interesting and unique. I love the Dick and Jane fabrics.

Looks like you did have a great time shopping. When we vacation in New Hampshire I always make a stop in Keepsake Quilting shop. It sure is hard to leave it.

Looks like you had fun. I love the Dick and Jane and the Wizard of Oz fabric the most.

You got a nice assortment! Glad you had a great trip. I have always wanted to visit DE but just haven't made it there yet. Someday!! :)

Nice selection! In April, I spent 3 days in Dover, DE @ Bonnie Hunter workshops. Only got to stop @ one shop as our days were pretty full. Since then, the joke has been that I'm retiring to DE, as I loved it so much. Beautiful state, nice people, no sales tax. Yeah, retiring there is a "joke."...

I laughed at the fabric on the right(as you are looking at the picture). My husband is a golfer too.

I used to love DE, it's where I had grown up but anymore, it's too crowded.

lfstamper 07-21-2012 04:22 AM

How fun!!!

Serendipity is my second home. Love it. Great fabrics and great people. Live in DE about 30 minutes away.

Nothing is better that vacations that quilt shops are included. I love seeing new shops and finding things that will be a memory of a great vacation! Have fun with your purchases!

I love getting new fabric, not much of an inventory area so I pretty much plan one project at a time. Love your selection.

Nice Fabrics! It's always fun when you can check out new fabric stores while on vacation.

AZ Jane 07-21-2012 05:40 AM

Dose it have a fabric brand name on the side, I sure would love to get hands on some of it..

Awe, very cute fabrics!

I love the Dick and Jane fabric, it brings back a lot of learning to read memories. I made a quilt for my youngest grandson from the original Dick and Jane fabric . It is always fun to shop in a different state and see what they have that your own state does not carry. I find that even my lqs carry different fabric and are not all that far apart.

anniesews 07-21-2012 08:10 AM

What fun these projects will be. Be sure to show us.

Nanaquilts44 07-21-2012 09:22 AM

Your projects look like so much fun! I love going on the road and stopping at different. Quilters are wonderful people and it is a joy to meet them.

bigdogmom 07-21-2012 09:50 AM

Looks like you had a great time! We were visiting daughter while she was in Madison,WI (at the Epic training center) so I went to Mill House Quilts,loved it so many samples very friendly and the Stitchers Crossing which had great selection,many samples and very friendly salesperson. I always look up quilt shops on my travels. next I want to travel to Missouri Star shop! Road trip! keep busy with your new projects and you can remember your travels while you see.

I did the same thing while in North Carolina a few weeks ago...have to finish others before I start on my "Carolina" quilt...love your choices especially the golfer...what a hoot...

QandE2010 07-21-2012 12:49 PM

Oh, you are going to be really busy. Nice fabric choices. Thanks for sharing and be sure to post pictures of the completed projects.

Sewfine 07-21-2012 04:52 PM

You have beautiful fabric. Especially the Dick & Jane.
