    You'll feel better after the LQS stops tomorrow. Pick up a fat quarter and a book on fabric origami and maybe it will help your withdrawal pangs.

    Welcome to Utah. Utah is a beautiful state and we do have some very nice quilt shops. Take a few minutes and visit some and you will feel better.
    I went to 3 today. Saw and touched some beautiful fabric. I feel better. Utah is very beautiful.

    My entries for the "famous" to visit:

    Cool, I went to Corn Wagon quilts in springville, The Fabric Mill and the Stitching Corner in Orem. Touched and felt lots of fabric and quilts. Bought a quilt magazine so I could just dream and plan. Fell so much better just doing that. If we have time tomorrow or Wednesday I will explore some more shops. Thanks so much for listing the shops. I googled quilt shops and went by the ratings to see which ones I wanted to go to.

    Hi sylviak. Where do you live? That quilt is beautiful. Congratulations on the baby. We are visiting my husbands 3 daughters. And one is expecting, due in September. I will be making her a quilt. Sounds like your trip was wonderful. Good talking to you.

    I go through this every time that I travel. A lot of times lately, I have been taking small projects with me.

    Sorry to hear about your husband. Yes I am addicted. I've only been quilting for a yr and a half but I got addicted real fast. I absolutely love it. Ive always got a project (or 2) going on at home.
