Monday, April 27th, Sssssnakey

Right before we went to the quilt show last Saturday, I took my sister and her friend Linda to the local quilt shop, Quilt Play. I don't know why I hadn't seen it before, or just wasn't paying attention, but they had a sample pillow case hanging in the baby room that I wanted the fabric for in the worst way. A few months ago, I wouldn't have cared for it, but now that Catie is dating a snake guy, it was perfect for him.
Wouldn't you know it; it was a year old sample and they haven't had the fabric for at least 6 months. Drat, well, (I thought) with 450 vendors at the show, surely someone will have the fabric.
Every booth that we went to that had novelty fabric, I was on an earnest quest. I almost settled for gecko fabric, (which he also has a passion for) but I really loved the snakes.

On Sunday, I was relaying my woes to Celia and telling her I would have to go on the internet and start my search, when lo and behold, in that very booth, 20 minutes prior to the show closing and right after the above statement, there it was. "LAAAAAAA" (those are angels singing) I screamed and laughed and was so happy. After purchasing it, and mind you it wasn't just fabric, but a pillowcase kit, I ran to show Beryl and Linda and they screamed and laughed and danced too. Everyone around us thought we had totally lost it and maybe had overdosed on the quilt show!!!
Today, I mailed it to him. Now, here's hoping he loves it:
