This morning my dad watched the boy and my mom took me to Patchwork Plus, an amazing quilt shop (that was featured in Better Homes and Gardens) in the Finger Lakes area just South of Syracuse. I basically died and went straight to fabric heaven. I have never seen so many incredible fabrics in my life! Wow- you could drop some serious cash in that place. My husband made me pinkie swear that I wouldn't purchase the entire store and luckily for him my frugal side kicked in and I felt bad about how much it cost a yard, so there were only 2 purchases.
The funny thing about it is that I'm currently looking for fabrics for pillows and a hanging quilt for our playroom, so I'm looking for fun kid stuff when there are all these exquisite "adult" materials everywhere. I feel a bit like walking into a couture shop and looking for a clearance rack. It's still a lot of fun to oogle the merchandise though. I got a fun words material for my pillow to match with the Cat in the Hat decal and quote that will be going up in the playroom this coming week. The other farm animal material I just fell in love with and had to have. I'm going to figure out a way to include it. Nathan's love of animals is starting to rub off on me (as you will soon see in his room next week). The most exciting part about this experience is that they are getting Dr. Seuss material in September! I've been looking all over for it without any luck. Looks like I know what I'm asking for from Joel for my birthday. :)
