Yesterday, seven of us converged on Painted Pony 'n Quilts in LaPorte to choose fabrics for the Kingwood Area Quilt Guild's next donation quilt. Having decided on our quilt design the previous week, we felt it was our "duty" to get out there amongst 'em and buy some fabric!
The weather was a little iffy, but the rain couldn't begin to dampen our spirits - not while we were surrounded by a sea of incredible batiks! We were worried that we'd have trouble agreeing on fabrics since we each always have our own ideas about what should or should not go in any given quilt, but there were so many wonderful options, it was more a case of deciding which ones NOT to put in the quilt. Several hours after arriving at the shop, we departed with our bags full of a veritable flower garden of colors. Thanks, Sherrie, for your hospitality - your shop is always a treat!

After a terrific lunch at Antonio's Italian Grill (which we highly recommend if you go down there), we headed home a little tired and droopy, but itching to get started working on our exciting quilt!
