Wow!!! What a neat haul y'all made!! Love the choices.

Eddie it looks like you & Melissa had a wonderful time on your Shop Hop. Certainly got some fabulous fabrics, books & goodies. Can't wait to see these in some quilts! The fabrics for your DD's room are gorgeous! Thank You for sharing. Happy Stitching.

Beautiful stuff! I love the batiks and the shabby chic best - hey Eddie, I think you should take us ALL shopping! LOL

What a haul! That Strip Tubing book looks like something I need to find. And I can't wait to see what you do with the Sew It panel, as well as all the other goodies.

wow, don't you just love shop hops.

Love your daughter's room fabric.

Hi, Eddie! Love your haul. I tell you what, you have fabulous taste in fabrics.

What fun, Eddie! I have the Clover tube thingies. They are great when making a certain size. Love the colors you picked. What does your wife's fabrics look like?

What a great way for you and Melissa to spend quality time together! I am drooling over the batiks!

Oooh, beautiful selection. I love paisley fabrics.

She bought a lot of brights and her batiks were a lot louder than mine. That's generally the way she leans. :D

What fun you must have had'

Beautiful and so Fun! I'm Jealous for sure!

My the selection of fabric is grand! love the shabby chic :) Looking fwd to seeing what it becomes!

Oh my, you really got a lot of great fabrics! Love all of them.

Ok, so I really like all your fabric. But, I'm a quilter, and as quilters, we all really like all fabric. But what I love is how clean and clear and crisp your photos came out! Please, tell me how you did that! What camera do you have? Inquiring minds want to know!
BTW, the retros are my favorite!

I have a Nikon D-50 digital SLR, which I love almost as much as I love my sewing machine. :) It really is a nice camera, bought it about 3 years ago. Here's a stock pic. It takes great pics!

I love that book, "Your Turn to Churn" planning a quilt right now.

I always enjoy looking at your work, you have such a great taste in colors and fabrics :-) and you certainly got yourself a great haul!!!

Looks like you are getting ready to try your hand at some applique? The fabrics you chose for your daughter are delicious,does she like them?

I can tell you had a really good time! Fabrics are great!

Yes, to both. I really like the look of applique, so am working on a wall hanging now that is applique.

And my daughter's immediate reaction was a :thumbup: on the fabrics. I figured she'd like them. :D

Nice haul, Eddie. I love a good shop hop!

Oh, you will love the book "Your turn to Churn" I made the table topper and I smiled the whole time while I was sewing it, it was so fun. I have the fabric to do the quilt, but haven't started it. I also just pieced together another table topper using the Tube Quilting ruler. I need to sandwich it and quilt it yet. You got a lot of nice treasures.

Beautiful fabrics and a wonderful way to spend time together. I am so tickled to see your avitar up again with the 2 of you together. You guys are so cute together & the picture is so wonderful! Are you guys on the beach somewhere?

I'm thinking your daughter is gonna love her new cuddlies made by her daddy. Too sweet. I think a picture of Dad sewing on her quilt would be pretty on her quilt lable. Just a thought.

I love hearing of couples enjoying each other, it just is so sweet and the way it should be! :thumbup:

Eddie, My teenage daughter wants a room makeover as well. What are you going to make for her room with those lovely fabrics?? I think I might do the same for my daughter. Are you following any patterns etc? Thanks so much for sharing. BTW, I think you are "cool" for quilting and being proud of it!!

Yes, we were on the beach in Ft. Walton, FL. Beautiful place!

I'm thinking of making some drapes out of that fabric on the left, and a tablecloth out of that one in the center, and then maybe a drape over her bookcase from the ceiling with that fabric on the right. Don't have any patterns for it, will have to wing it! :D

To bad I ain't going to benton this week i'd bring you a pattern that I picked up for .30 an let you use it.I always pick up patterns when I go to thrift stores an find something I might use later on.I even have baby girl patterns an don't have a granddaughter yet but in hopes that I will have in a couple of years.I also have patterns for little boys to since I do have them two.The one just turned one the 19th of march an the otherone turns six in just a week.

eddie, you have GOT to tell me more about the 2 turquoise lace fabrics on the right for daughters room, love them so much it makes my head spin!!! who is the mfg, where can i find it?

You must have a marriage made in heaven!
