So off we went, stopping at Cloth Plus first... a favorite of mine, as they carry a wonderful selection of batik fabrics. Sherrie scored big time, and I found a couple of pieces for a great price - bolt ends on sale. Next, we stopped at Seams so Right , another favorite of mine... so much wonderful fabric!
After thoroughly browsing the bolts there, it was time for a lunch break to refuel... so we stopped at a great little restaurant down the street - El Gato Azul:
We sat out in the patio, soaking up the warmth of the sun and enjoying a yummy repast.
I had to take a photo of this wonderful ceramic cat, posing at the bar of the restaurant... almost looks tie-dyed, doesn't it?!
Then on to one more shop, "Love It Again", which is a great little shop with remnants of fabric, yarns, thread, books... you name it!
All too soon, it was time to head back. Sherrie and I are already planning next year's adventure, as we have decided this is a great annual event!
Meanwhile, I'm still dyeing rayon scarves... finished up a couple of great multicolored freeze-dyes the other day, looking like southwest sunsets:

Boy does that sound like a fun adventure. I even liked the sitting in the sun on the patio part, let alone fabric stores everywhere!!
I had to chuckle when I saw your coordinated tops….only fiber artists would do that unintentionally! Judy, I love, love, love your rayon scarves! I adore rayon too, and have toyed with the idea of making a lot of rayon cowls, as rayon drapes so beautifully. But this toying occurs at about 3:35AM, and then when the day gets rolling along, the idea gets lost in daily routines! ;-) Oh well!
