Word of advice...when parking in downtown lots
be sure to keep track of your parking ticket.
I almost had to pay $60.00 to get out of the lot
or bust down the exit barrier and go directly to jail.

I found my ticket and no handcuffs were required!
(and just when I thought the fun was about to begin)
A great thing about shopping with Kathy is
we like most of the same fabrics.
So when we find something we really like, we split it.

And Kathy has been using these pressing sticks
to help press seams open (for less bulk)...

Pressing sticks... hmmm that looks like something I need to check out as I find open pressing to be not so fun! Love those stitched fabrics among your fun haul of goodies.
ReplyDeleteQuilts, LQSs (plural of LQS), fabric searches, good food, good company, happy hours, roads less travelled to not so local quilt shops and yarn shops, lots of laughs, and tons of fun. What a perfect trip! Need to do it again soon.
