Our Las Vegas FARTs (Fabric Acquisition Road Trips)

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you had a lot of fun and self control if you only had carry ons to go home with.:icon_razz:

But, but, but . . . didja buy anything?

We need pictures.

I'm happy you had a good time. A few of those places are always on my list when I go to Southern Utah.

I'm glad you made it home okay. The freeway between Las Vegas and Utah got completely washed out and the way around is wayyyyyy out of the way. I was concerned about you. When we were in Iowa this past summer we toured the country side in the dark because of flooded roads. A little unsettling when you are in unfamiliar territory.

Sounds like you are having some fun traveling and with a cruise coming up. Fun times!!!!!

OK...so here's what I got. Like I said before, space and pennies were limited, so I was pretty well-behaved.

• Bee My Honey charm pack and scrap bag
• Sunnyside mini charm pack
• Riley Blake Country Girl yardage (This will make a good cheater quilt for Quilts for Kids)
• 6 fat quarters of ABC123 by American Jane (These were the 6 for $6 deal)
• Button Up pattern by Cluck Cluck Sew
• Quilter's Travel Companion
• The Row by Row kit from Quilted Works in St. George
• 6 fat quarters of Comma by Zen Chic (same $6 deal)

So in all I spent well under $100 and had a blast. The trip was well worth it!

Pulling in toward that green on the lower left. Quite a great haul for your pennies - those are the best kind. I have the Quilter's Travel Companion - it's great when you are doing road trips.

I really like that one too. I think I'll use the button pattern for those fat quarters.

Sounds like it was a great trip. I live in Bullhead City, Az. Not far from Havasu. I have been to Fabrics Unlimited and to Connies Quilt Shop in Kingman. Hey, I should have had you pick me up and tagalong with you ladies. LOL.....I just may have to make a trip to Henderson and check out that quilt shop, :icon_wave:

We were able to go to quilt shops in Nevada, Utah and Arizona and had a blast. I'll go through the shops we went to, but I think that we're quite spoiled here in MN with some really great quilt shops.


Up next...Utah!
