First I went shopping on Cape Cod at Tumbleweed Quilts in West Barnstable - a very nice store, with lots of nooks and crannies. I was pretty restrained here, just picked up four fat quarters, two half yards, a couple of copies of Quiltmaker, a Q-Clip frame, and The X Bag pattern, which is for a very nifty shoulder bag.

(The flower-thing is a magnetic pin cushion, which I thought would be useful to attach to my sewing machine. Then I discovered when I got home that my sewing machine is not metal...)
I decided not to buy too much here, because on my teacher's advice, I planned to visit a Joann's store. I checked on the web before we went, and found that there was one in the town where Otto had to go for his business meeting, so he dropped me there, and disappeared off to his meeting for the next four hours...
And this is the result:
One hundred and thirty fat quarters, three full yards, two books and lots and lots of notions and knick-knacks.
The two women at the checkout were stunned at how full my shopping cart was - and even more so when I explained that I would pay three times as much to buy all this stuff here in Germany.
As each fat quarter was scanned individually, it took a couple of minutes for the receipt to print out:
Soooooooooo... this should all keep me busy for a wee while :-)
