This morning Alethea and I jumped in the car after breakfast and went to meet Peter’s mom (Alethea’s Grandma Denny) at the fabric/craft store.

Our Mission: Pick out fabrics for Alethea’s big girl room quilt

Our Inspiration: This comforter from J.C. Penney

Our Finds: Six fabulous fabrics (three patterns, three solids), two of which are bit shiny (how luxurious!)

Our Bonus: Half a yard of embroidered clearance fabric, perfect to cover a pillow or two

Alethea’s Favorite Parts: Running up and down the aisles of special occasion fabrics (let’s face it, there aren’t many girls who can resist a rainbow of shiny, glittery, gorgeous satins!) and the Halloween toy puppy in the seasonal section who flapped his ears and sang Ghostbusters (she was mesmerized).
