Saturday dawned with cloudy skies and the sad realization that today was our last day in Paducah.
We started the day out at Carson Park where we wanted to see Eleanor Burns' live show, and shop her store that they'd set up out there for the week.
First we snagged seats in the performance tent, and then we entered the wonderful land of the ....
A huge tent filled with nothing but fabric for $5 a yard. I mean, how could this be anything but wonderful and magnificent! I ended up with just a few yards of pieces that matched some thing I'd already picked up at Hancock's of Paducah. Because I clearly needed more still...
Then we wandered over the the third large tent where there were books and patterns and notions and...
Eleanor Burns herself taking pictures and signing books!
After the show and some more shopping, we headed back to Hancock's of Paducah for one last hurrah.
I found this sign funny, as it shows how many WOMEN are at this show!
With that, we braved the outdoors (it was still raining off and on-heavily at times) and went back to Fluffy the car for the long drive back to Indiana. Despite the rainy weather we made good time and were happy to get back to the cats.
And the cats were happy their humans were home! (And no, their eyes are not that creepy in real life.)
Assessing the Damage, or
Paducah: the Aftermath!
On Sunday we sorted through all of our goodies, got the Momcat's stuff packed up and ready to head back to Nebraska, and put my things away.
It doesn't look that bad when it's all just lumped in a pile...
But when we spread it out we ended up with a table of fabric:
And a table of patterns and notions:
This is all of our stuff put together. But when I counted things up, my fabric alone was 35 1/2 cut yards plus 5 charm packs and a jelly roll! I had more than the Momcat! We were sad to see the trip come to an end, but I think we have enough fabrics and ideas to keep us busy for a while!
That looks like a bunch of fun to come!
