I HAVE A CARD AND I WILL SHOP

What a wonderful day today!  Visited 3 quilting stores!  This is truly heaven for me.  I did some damage and came home with 3 bags of treasures.

Sharon and I visited a store called 35th Avenue Sew and Vac!  It was huge - as huge as Fabric Depot was in Oregon.  Can't believe how wonderful and it was to be there.  I fondly remembered being down in Oregon with Kit and Rachel in Fabric Depot.  Those were wonderful times we shared...and now I have this wonderful time to remember with Sharon!  

The other store we hit was Modern Quilting.  In this store I realized just how different Sharon's and my favourite patterns and fabrics are.  It was fun to see our differences.  She like bright colours and bolder geometric prints and I am small prints and earth tones.  I bought a pattern with cactus and quail on it - applique.  The Arizona colours are really quite stunning and restful.

The last place we visited with fabric was Hobby Lobby and it was another spot to buy some special items.  All in all it was a fabulous stop and a perfect end to our shopping day!

This evening was an amazing sunset - I did get a picture of it...but seeing it outside is probably better.  Course it didn't hurt to have the beautiful saguaro in the foreground!  Thanks. Arizona!  You lived up to your reputation!
