Fabric Field Trip

April 21, 2009 in Fabric by emily | 5 comments

Today Liam and I ventured to the wild, wild world of Winston-Salem, NC.

I  thought my 48.3 mpg on the way there was a fluke until I got 49.1 mpg on the way home.

Liam chilled in the back with a Wall-E book that he read over and over for 100 miles.  Not a peep came out of him … except for the random “WAAAAAALLLLEEEEEE!!!!!!” (And now he’s sitting in my lap reading the same book.)

So why Winston-Salem?  Doesn’t everyone go there on Tuesdays?

Nah, we had to visit Karen Gray Design’s new store.  I needed some new and different stuff for some upcoming projects and what she had was perfect.

Liam decided to start designing his own quilt with Pop Garden.

Great combo Liam!

I love her chandeliers.  I wonder if I could fit one over the kitchen table?

And I got some fabric while I was there too.

Whoops.

So that was our day.  If you’re in Raleigh, it’s a totally easy trip.  So go!  Have fun!  Drool at the chandeliers!

    We aren’t going to think about how much I bought but rather how much I didn’t have to spend on gas! ;-)

    Whatever you save on gas you can spend on extra fabric!! Plus, it wouldn’t be very economical to have to drive back again too soon for more fabric. Thanks for doing your part to help the planet!! :)

    That store looks beautiful! Maybe I should relocate to Winston-Salem… I’m not happy with my local stores here in Seattle!
