A Quick Trip to Lancaster, PA

 My sister and I decided to take a quick trip to Lancaster last Friday.

I booked a hotel room because there was a big quilt show going on

and all the stores were open until late Friday night.  We managed to

hit all 'regular' shops that night.  On Saturday morning we

went to check out a new fabric store [to use] called Weaver's

Dry Goods.  This was nicest, brightest, and most perfectly laid out

 fabric shop we have seen but there were few bargains. 

 The buggies were out in full force on Saturday morning.

 I didn't buy anything near the amount of fabric I have in the

past.  The prices were higher in Lancaster than I wanted to pay

and actually since I shop on-line for fabric I was seeing a lot of

the same fabric there but at a higher price [then on-line].

 My purchases were mostly in one yard cuts.

 I have a friend who only drinks champagne so I will be

making her a quilt from this fabric which was on sale for

$3.99 per yard.  This fabric was one of the few bargains

I snagged.  The other fabric you see in this group was priced

at $8.99/yard so what I saved in the sale fabric I had

to spend to get fabric that worked with it.

 This Layer Cake [which are 10" blocks of fabric] was on sale

for $19.00 at the Old Country Store.  These usually run

about $38 [and sometimes more] per package so I

felt I got a deal plus the color combination is beautiful.

 The Jelly Roll

I found this on-sale at the Fabric Shack for around $20

[maybe a little more since I don't remember exactly] but I 

was willing to spend the $'s since the fabric was unique.

 The jelly roll strips.

 One of my main accomplishments on this trip was to go

to Log Cabin Quilts and buy more doll panels.

I have Coral almost done - I just need to stuff her.

 This was the last Super Hero panel set they had so I received

a discount which was nice.  I started the girl yesterday and 

since these are printed on a very thick fabric [think duck fabric]

it took me an extreme amount of time to turn her right

side out after sewing.  The Super Boy is going to

have to wait until I have more time.  Moda's decision

 to switch the printing from duck to 100% cotton

was a good one.

 I've made Lil' Red before but gave away.

 I made Just Another Walk In the Woods as well and gave away.

 The Spring Bunny Fun panel is new and I can't wait

to make this one.

Pearl the Mermaid panels were found in Zook's and

I purchased the last two on the bolt.  These dolls

are big so I'll need to buy more bags of fiberfill.

That's it for my shopping in Lancaster.  It was nice to get

away and spend time with my sister.  Wishing you

a Happy Easter Bunny day, Katie
