Scarlet and Gray fabric shopping! My Christmas in July!!

On my way to Columbus I stopped in Ashland,Ohio at Country Charm Fabrics.  I found a great

Lakehouse Fabric LH05019B 'Saturns' to use for my Buckeye Quilts.  It's Black with a Gray Planet that has Red rings around it. 

I also stopped at Glass Thimble and picked up some great Robert Kaufman 10220 Red and Black stripes.

At Quilt Trends I found Dimples for Andover Fabrics.

While in Columbus I visted the Ohio Union on the campus of The Ohio State University, I will post a separate blog about that and Eddie George's Grill.

On my way home I dropped off 4 quilt tops to be quilted by Jennifer McCann.  I can't wait to pick them up this fall!!

Why would a Buckeye Quilter travel to Kalamazoo Michigan?

Carmen and Coach Jenny

To attend the Region 5 Level 8 Gymnastics Meet.  My friend Claire's 12 year old daughter Carmen was competing.  She placed 7th All Around in her session of 50 girls.  Way to go Carmen!!!

I took the oppourtunity on the way to Michigan to stop at The Door Mouse in Bettsville, Ohio. http://www.thedoormouse.com/index.html

All I can say about The Door Mouse is that you have a large selection of fabric to choose from!!
I found 4 more Grays to add to my stash.
