Great stash building. Did you make it to the Quilted Strait in Port Gamble?

Yes, I did. That was one of my destination spots for this trip and fortunately my dad and his wife accommodated me by taking me there. We made a day of it. The Quilted Strait is a fabulous quilt store. I had lots of fun looking and buying!

Very pretty choices. I would really be in trouble as I mainly buy Large quantities of each kind. I would need a very large suitcase and leave my clothes there.

Gorgeous fabrics. Guess you aren't too crazy about batiks though, huh?

I was afraid I might have to mail stuff home, but fortunately I got it to fit with some creative packing. There was no extra room. The funny thing is my DH suggested taking another suitcase just in case, but I didn't want to check two bags. Next time I'll listen to him!

If you ever have a problem fitting stuff into your suitcase, get a Large Flat Rate box, from the post office. You can stuff a LOT into those things and, "If it fits, it ships!" Might be worth taking a few with you, just in case.
