Love that pattern! Is it available to purchase, or ??
My F8s are being mailed this morning (Monday), and the tracking number has been sent via e-mail and PM.
We got back into town Saturday evening. DH was rather unexpectedly able to take a week off work. Normally he works 60+ hours a week, and vacations are "frowned upon" even though he's MORE than earned the vacation hours, so we had to jump on the chance! We drove the Natchez Trace Parkway from Alabama to Nashville, then we spent the rest of the time at Land Between The Lakes in Kentucky ... which ... conveniently!
... is very near Paducah, home of Hancock's of Paducah! Oh my word! If you've never been, you gotta go! That was my first time, and as soon as I went in the door, my jaw hit the floor. You name it, they have it! It was almost overwhelming!
I managed to spend "only" $150, but could've easily blown the budget right out of the water. They had many of their batiks on sale for $5.99 and $6.99 a yard, so I got several one-yard cuts, and I also picked up three FQ bundles ... two Kaffe Fassett ones and a Benartex one with big, realistic flowers. It took 2-1/2 hours to take it all in and decide what I wanted. But, as I reminded DH, it took him THREE hours the first time he went into our new Cabelas, so he couldn't say anything! LOL!
He wanted me to spend more, and kept putting stuff into the shopping cart (he's such a sweetie), but unfortunately we don't have a money tree growing in the yard.
Here's a pic of my goodies!

We had a blast riding the backroads at LBL (170,000 acres of rugged terrain), and saw lots of wildlife ... deer, elks, bison, bald eagles, many hawks, turkeys, owls, a bobcat, coyotes, etc. A deer at their nature center licked my hand!
We took over 1,900 pics and videos. Haven't had a chance to go through them yet.
