Why does jet lag have to hurt so much?

I think I am almost over it....

I had such a fantastic time in Portland at the Spring Market! I could NOT have done it if my sister hadn't come with me. It was overwhelming and idea provoking. The fabrics were fantastic, the designers, friendly. I have yet to really go over what fabric I purchased. If I remember right, it was a lot. I just hope that what I am remembering is as wonderful as I thought it was at the show....... ha ha. Jennifer, Katelyn and I did manage to get most of the fabric rearranged in the shop today. I am expecting the first shipment of the bali batiks to be here soon.

So now, here at home, I have all these ideas running through my head. Things I am dying to try. Have I written all of them down?? Ha! I will, but before I do that, I am trying to finish something I started. It will be a baby quilt. I used a new (to me) template that I thought people here might like. The fabric is Basic Blue by Paintbrush Studio. I didn't order this fabric, but I might... what do you think?

I'm so tired.......

This is hard. I mean really hard. I was able to get a few of the things I wanted, a few things I didn't know I wanted, some really good ideas (I hope), and a really achy back! One of my scores was Metro Blue goes Green..... The Marcus people were less than kind but I walked on down to E.E. Schenck, convinced them there was actually such a fabric and put it on order... just don't know when it will get there.

There is too much great stuff here. The fabrics this year are absolutely gorgeous and I hope you all will like my choices......
