I went on spring break. We visited California... my SIL lives outside of San Diego and my aunt lives near Disneyland.
I went on a Segway tour of San Diego:
It really was a lot of fun and no one wrecked, either! I decided that if I lived in a metro area, I'd have a Segway to ride around :)
I also went to a discount fabric shop by my aunt's house. I had gone there two years ago, also. I went a bit crazy....
Some of these pieces, I already have a plan for and some I don't.... I've been wanting to get them organized with my other fabrics, but I wanted to take photos and share them, first. Mainly, I just couldn't resist. I think I ended up paying an average of about $4/yd for the fabrics and there are a few pieces that are even organic cotton.
What else have I been doing? hmmm... Well, I went on a quilt retreat weekend with the Chicago Modern Quilt Guild. We went to a place in Racine, Wisconsin called the Siena Center. I had a good time getting to know a bunch of the other guild members. My friend, Emily, was kind enough to let me pick her up and ride along with me. She thought that I was doing her a favor by giving her a ride to the retreat. Really, I was delighted because then I didn't have to arrive all by myself, especially since I've never been there before and didn't know the routine.
I know there is so much more to tell, but I'm getting a bit foggy (it being all of 9:30 pm and all....). I am counting down the days until the end of the school year, and I'm getting ready to write along list of all the things I would love to accomplish over the summer! I probably won't get even half of them done, but it will at least give me some direction.

That Segway tour looks really fun! Were you worried you'd fall off it? I'm so clumsy I'd probably be awful!
I'm very jealous of your fabric haul too, maybe when I move into my new sewing room I'll have to work out how to convince Dus I need some more fabric :)
a segway tour! what a blast. love your fabric choices of course!
A Segway tour sounds like a BLAST - I'd be nervous about running into something though, LOL!
Love your fabric haul - you have the makings of some really fun projects there - that zebra/panda/penguin fabric is particularly cute!
It's a great idea to make plans for what you want to accomplish over the summer - even if you only get HALF of the stuff done, it's probably more than you would have completed if you hadn't gone in with a plan!
All those fabrics are so beautiful! Can't wait to see what you do with them. :-)
Have a great weekend.
I'd love to do a Segway tour one day, they look like so much fun! Love all your new fabulous fabrics!
