    I've been to the museum many times. That wood quilt is amazing! When I drove into town yesterday, I was soooo tired I didn't even stop at Hancocks. The back room is where most of my money goes - usually on trims for junk journals LOLThat is usually a must stop for me. I didn't wander the downtown art district (usually a must walk for me). Their BBQ on the river in September is a must see but if you plan to attend, book your room WAY in advance. Creative Blessings!

    I’ve made 10+ Rag Quilts and after the first one, I went to the laundromat to wash and dry mine. I would wash it twice and dry it 2 or 3 times. It became a lil pricey, but totally worth not ruining my washer/dryer. Oh, and I always told the attendant what I was doing and they would make sure it was cleaned.

    Getting quilty goodness packages makes my day! And I can tell you were very happy with your purchases, thanks for taking the time to show us all the goods! I just placed an online order with Keepsake Quilting. Keepsake was purchased by the family who owned Pineapple Fabrics, right here in my home state of NC so they're close by, and, they have open warehouse days too! Like many online stores they give promotional cash to spend on future purchases - that keeps me going back! :) I ordered 9 yds of a beautiful boysenberry colored solid, that was on sale for half off, to use with the 'Ring Cycles' quilt pattern I purchased earlier in the week from Etsy as a download. I've been thinking about making this quilt for a while, so I finally committed. I've always wanted to make an EPP quilt and Keepsake had Tula Pink's - 'Tula's Bloomers' pattern & papers set as well as the acrylic templates to cut the fabric shapes with - wish me luck, it's a big quilt! I LOVE the ruler rack you have - 'Doohiky' was my late mother's favorite word for anything she didn't know the word for! I will be ordering one tonight! I too love Woolies flannels, have used them for years and have a stash of them. They stay soft and their colors don't fade like some flannels I've used. The Fiskar's rag scissors are the best, I even bought a spare pair in case I lose/misplace one of them. Can one ever have enough CG rulers? Nope! LOL! Best around although I do have a couple of the Olfa brand non-slip rulers as well. Happy quilting! Kitty Ann >^,,^<

    I noticed that as quilting cotton has become more in demand it has gone up in price and down in quality. I have seen clothing quality decline too. I always prewash everything not just because of bleeding but because of all the chemicals they use on the fabrics. There are more chemicals used in fabrics and clothing these days. Anti fungal for shipping, pre-dye chemicals, finishing, sizing, dyes etc. Many chemicals are carcinogenic or can trigger allergies. Pre-washing is good for your health and those you give your creations to.
