    Here's the link:

    DH is driving us around today, he'll get his passport stamped and pick up blocks as we go, too.
    Absolutely he needs to get his blocks too. Has he done that before with you? The GPS is a great thing to have to when you are doing the shop hops. :-P

    I'm really jealous! I have a very small one about 45 minutes north and a small one about l hour south. Since nether one has a lot to choose from I seldom go. Do most of my buying online.

    I only got to ten. Not enough to get into the drawing, but I took my 8yr old daughter with me and we had a blast. Two days of shopping and my neck is killing me! But we had lots of fun together. She picked out a book called "Horsing Around" that has all these adorable patterns for applique horses! There are nine different sleeping or lying down foals we are going to put on her quilt. And yes, I spent way too much money and still didn't get all the fabric I wanted! Such pretty colors!

    I love the fabric that you have pick up. You wouldn't believe it, but I use to be apprehensive with color. Now I gravitate to oranges and red all the bright colors. Way to go girl :thumbup: :thumbup:

    18 more shops today. Think we can make it to 12 more tomorrow?

    I was very well behaved. Only gave in to one more orange and bought a few for a retreat I'm going on next month.

    Saw several shops I don't want to ever go back to, today! :thumbdown:

    Saw a few I just love! :thumbup:

    Did you go north or south today? There were a couple I wouldn't make the trip for, that's for sure. And some I would drive a ways to get to.

    I just had a thought.
    When I lived in Utah, our online group would wear identical name patches, or a ribbon the same color somewhere on our shirt, or the same shopping bags, or the same color hat, something like that, so we would know one another when we met on our shop hop.
    That might be a way to know "Konstantiners" on a Hop!

    Gorgeous collection! I made an orange quilt a couple of years ago and as I was putting it together, realized that it was just too monochromatic....so I added a 2" square of vivid turquoise solid in the middle of each block and then a thin inner border of the same turquoise.....made the orange ZING even more! One of my favorites to make, though now I am over my orange addiction---which was the point of the quilt! :)
