On the Road Again

My Jane Stickle quilt has been hibernating at home this winter, but come early March, she'll be out and about again -- I received word last week that she's been accepted in the AQS show in Lancaster! It's only about 3 hours from here, so I plan to go down and see the show in person.

A Quilter's Definition of Heaven

On my way home from the AQS show in Lancaster earlier this month, I was lucky enough to spend a little time at a new-to-me fabric shop. 

The first thing you see is sale fabric outside....

 ...then more sale fabric in a trailer....

...and then you step inside to see more fabric....

...and more fabric....

...and still more fabric....

No, this following photo is not sideways...the fabric along one wall is stored on a clever hanging system where the bolts slide off and on very easily. You can see it a bit in a couple of the photos above.

Even though a busload of quilters had just arrived when I did, there was plenty of room for me to look around and the shop was fully staffed, so there were no dreadful lines at the cutting counters or checkout.

I was drunk on fabric when I saw this place, but it wasn't any fun being drunk by myself. I really wished some of my quilting girlfriends were there with me.
