Default Reindeer Dash So Cal Haul

Ok. Confession time. I have not been to any LQS since I began quilting as they are 90 min away in good California traffic.The one shop and only shop I went to ( and feel in love with) was in Anchorage.
Well today, I got up early, kissed DH goodbye and said I was going to take myself on what is being called a Reindeer Dash. Eight LQS were participating in this three day event and giving away free fat quarters and patterns. So after 5 hours and 300 miles, I visited 6 LQS. Wow!
the free fat quarters were mostly from Red Rooster's Here Comes Santa line. OMG so so cute - Santa and bunnies with a bunny's letter to Santa.
i received 7 free fat quarters, 10 free patterns and ended up buying a panel ( didn't know it at the time but it's from the Same fabric line), a bunch of fat quarters for a table runner, and a kit. The border fabric was all sold out at each the LQS I visited so ended up buying on line. ...least I knew the quality of the fabric. So here's my stash. The right side is what I bought and the left side was free.
Happy happy happy.

Great Haul! I hope you had fun and would consider a shop hop again. I got with my quilting friends on one about once a year and we have a plans. Love all your fabrics and the cat and pumpkin pattern.

Score! I live in the sticks and buy most of my fabrics on line. It is always great to see, feel, smell and touch the fabrics in the store. It looks like you had a great time. Be sure to show us what you do with these finds
