Successful Trip to the Quilt Shop

I had to go to the quilt shop yesterday. Yes, I HAD to go! I try to go once a month to pick up and deliver quilts that I've quilted. It's about a 40 mile drive to the shop and it's mostly back roads but it's a pretty drive and I always enjoy going. A friend went with me and we went to Evansville, IN first so we could go to JoAnn's. I had a 40% off coupon and I bought some heavy duty fabric to replace the leaders on the longarm. Then we headed to Boonville to Village Mercantile. I needed fabric for three projects. The blue/pink stack at the top is for a project that I hope to submit to a magazine and if they don't want it, I'll maybe publish it as a single pattern. The bottom stack with the greens, ecru, black, etc. is for a Christmas quilt and I had no Christmas fabric in my stash. The pieces on the left are a panel and coordinating fabric for a panel quilt for a baby quilt for a gift for the lady/baby in Lake Charles whose husband was injured just before Rita hit. That is all I bought . . nothing I didn't *need*! Are you proud of me? I'm proud of myself! Judy L.
