Do most people bring home fabric as souvenirs of a vacation??
I do!
Courtney and I hit up a few Austin quilt shops, with some excellent clearance sections...
Clockwise from top left: Blooms, some Halloween prints, a print each from Pop Garden and Katie Jump Rope, and some Eric Carle prints.
....and we came up with an AWESOME idea for a simultaneous challenge using these fabrics as a jumping off point.
Two rainbow prints from Timeless Treasures and, for my challenge quilt, orange Katie Jump Rope and red something with no selvage.And when one fabric-aholic visits another, the stash infects them both. Courtney sent me home with some of hers.
A funky skirt I'll be wearing as a capelet, a retro vintage sheet, and my infatuation with Christmas prints continues.I did come home with some "finished" souvenirs. My favorites:
Three Mexican glass bracelets from El Mercado, and THE BEST fabric bag made by Benjamin. I'm hoping it will fit my new iPad.

You've got some beautiful fabrics there. I really enjoy all the dots!
I can't keep my hands off my new fabric stash! We got some amazing treasures! Yippee :-)
This must have been procured at the famous Quilt Store in the Village, no? I used to live in Austin and no fabric store has measured up.
