Ok, last one.
There is ONE other piece I bought, but not posting it as of yet.
It will be sent to a certain someone and once we hear the squeals from him/her, I'm sure he/she will post the picture. :)
I just love surprises!! :)

this is my fav besides the air balloons

Jim's Gem 08-27-2008 06:56 PM

Wow!! What a catch. I bet you had a lot of fun finding all those!! I am currently going through my stash,(seeing what I have, etc) no small project.

tlrnhi 08-27-2008 07:10 PM

The bird one is actually a wall hanging square. Not sure when I will get to it, but the colors were what made me buy it. Then it had coordination fabric to boot! HAD to get it!!

The ones with the hot air balloons will be totes. I bought it especially for that purpose. I'm thinking the colors will be what sells it.

pocoellie 08-27-2008 07:39 PM

WOW!WOW! If you don't have room to keep your new fabric, let me give you my address.LOL Beautiful, gorgeous!!!!!

bj 08-27-2008 07:53 PM

How will you sleep with all those quilts to plan/start! I love the kitty quotes fabric. Although, the licking the bowl one could be my dog. He loves to lick the bowl!

Moonpi 08-27-2008 08:00 PM

Oooh, ooh, the balloons! And the macaw! And the red! The florals! Funny cat notes!

Oh my, I needed that!

purplemem 08-27-2008 09:13 PM

Terri,
Not the parrots, the songbirds with fruit....

pennylayne 08-27-2008 09:16 PM

Fun!! did you get that at swap meet? I used to love going there. I miss it alot :( that was my favorite place we've been sationed so far :) I made a futon cover once from some fabric i got at swap meet.

Joan 08-27-2008 09:24 PM

You must have brought over an empty suitcase for all your finds, Terri! (Your DH is probably just glad that you got a flight and weren't delayed longer......I always tell my DH that I plan to shop until the numbers wear off my charge card.....LOL

Regardless, we're glad you're back!

Celeste 08-27-2008 09:34 PM

Glad you're back! LOVE the fabric!

I actually DID have an empty suitcase.
All my clothes, not much, actually fit in my carry on. Courtney used all the room in 4 suitcases for her things. I just took my smaller suitcase and put it in my bigger one. Then packed all my findings in that. My clothes went back into my carry on. Yes, I packed lightly. Had 2 pairs of shorts, 2 pairs of jeans, 5 shirts and my undies. :) Did laundry while I was there.

zyxquilts 08-27-2008 09:40 PM

Amazing buys Terri! That last bird fabric - it looks almost 3-D! Love all the colors, I can tell how much fun you had shopping, the smiles come through :D:D:D

Thanks all!

Yes, Izy, I had a blast buying that fabric. Who knows...you might have some scraps of that coming your way in a future box....that is IF I cut that stuff. lol

Oh, no excess charge. I'm allowed 2 suitcases at 70 pounds each. My one suitcase was 68 pounds. You should have heard the man when he took it off the bus. He was groaning....asked me what I had in it. Told him it was all fabric. lol
He asked me where my clothes were. I told him...in my carry on! :)

Izy 08-28-2008 12:37 AM

Now I bet he doesn't hear that very often - a woman with hardly any clothes packed :D !!!

OOOOhhh getting cutting quick, I could make some lovely postcards with alot of that fabric tee hee!!

No Penny...I didn't get to the swap meet. Nothing there I really want. Plus, was a bit too hot, always is and didn't feel like walking around it.
They do have some nice fabric, but I preferred buying my fabric (Hawaiian) from Fabric Mart.

I bet you could! I went looking for the Hawaiian stuff like what I sent you, but all they had was black and brown colors. Didn't want that.
Oh well...maybe next time.

Izy 08-28-2008 12:49 AM
