Saturday was a great day! Here's what I got to do:

Went to pick up my youngest sister and got to visit my niece and nephews for a bit while she got ready.

Sis and I took off to the Quilt, Sewing and Craft Festival at the Puyallup fairgrounds. It's not a big show as it's only in the Pavilion but there were some really great booths. I restrained myself and only bought 1 quilt pattern. Bobbie G Designs had a both with both quilt and cross stitch patterns. While I didn't buy any, she had some lovely cross stitch designs. It was really great to actually see the stitched models especially since I don't have a LNS.

Both of us had a scone on our way out of the fairgrounds, yum!

Then we drove toward Olympia where we stopped at Michael's in Lacey. I had two 20% off your total order coupons (which included items already on sale). I purchased 5 Santa ornaments for myself, some 25ct. needlework fabric and some decorative items for my mother for her Christmas present.

We then headed over to west Olympia and stopped at JoAnn's. I bought a winter pillow to add to the stuff for my mom's Christmas present and a small Dimensions kit that was 50% off. Lunch was at Olive Garden. Since I drove, sis paid for lunch.

We had so much fun, we're already thinking about going to the WSU sponsored Sewing Expo at the end of February. This is a really big show with 400+ vendors!

Happy Stitching!
