Happy quilt makes me Happy!!

My Aunt Twila sent me a message the other day reminding me of Gods gentle mercy in putting me at a base with a coffee shop! Today I am reminded of that same mercy..... Today I found a fabric store!! I took the short 25 minute trip with my friend Kristi and her 3 sweet kiddos... There it was, "Happy Quilt" I could almost hear God giggle as I walked in....My eyes were wide, my heart was beating..... I was ecstatic... It was what I always thought a fabric store should look like... It was beautiful and inexpensive....

I bought 18 yards of fabric for 60,000 won = $51.50 which is 2.86/yard... Expensive stuff like Vera Bradley, Michael Miller, Amy Butler.. all there... I had to walk away and remind myself that I could come back later..... That these were not closeout prices... These were their regular prices..I didn't need to buy it all today..... But oh how I wanted to...

I am smiling as I type!

For my fellow creators... Take a breathe, because these pictures might just leave you breatheless!!

Wow that is AMAZING! Why can't Turlock have a store like that? Will you be making bible bags? You could make some sweet little dresses with that fabric.
