Hello! I haven't made it back here since the trip to Shipshewana, Indiana on Monday. Well... I still love going there, but do not suggest going on a holiday when the rest of the world is there. The fabric and quilts were amazing. In two weeks Shipshewana hosts a quilt festival and I'm very tempted to go back. However, I would stay out of town at a camp grounds and just go for the day, and take a bicycle. The crowds of cars were horrible. And, the flea market wasn't an antiques and garage sale type (what I thought it would be), it consisted of people selling mostly cheap junk from China. Such a disappointment! I did complete what I set out to do though. Color... lots of new color. I'm really itching to start cutting into this batch of Kona. I have a plan in mind, but need to draw this one out before I tell all.
One thing I did love though, was watching the Amish ladies and girls. I do love their dresses. When compared to the women walking around with shorts (too tight, too short, and too low... and too small) and a little top on, the Amish are purely lovely. Even on a hot, sunny day the ladies stayed cool in cotton dresses and sandals. Also their hair was neatly up off their neck. They looked so lady-like. I think we can all take lessons from the Amish. I for one intend to.
But, for tonight this is my goal. I picked up the latest edition, and can't wait to relax and enjoy the reading.
This pattern is on my list for tomorrow. I know a little guy who might like new shorts. I will enjoy pulling out some cute fabric and actually finish something in an hour.
Enjoy your weekend.
