Enjoyed watching your fabric haul and the quilt stores. I just ordered my second 3 Yard book, Quilts for Kids. I plan to make quilts for Project Linus. Fabric Cafe is in Tyler, TX close to where I live. Makes me love them more. 😊

[@aprilscraftroom]

Wonderful

[@aprilscraftroom]

That is awesome! And YES ... it is so easy for it to take over! Thanks for watching! April

[@jenicehaneline1846]

Can't wait to see the three yard quilts that you make with that fabric. You said you don't care for orange but this orange lover is happy to see quilts with that color in it. And don't worry about the dog barking and your granddaughter playing outside the window it shows that you do have a life. Keep up the great work.

[@aprilscraftroom]

I am actually wearing an orange sweatshirt today. LOL. I used to just really not like orange, but as I've gotten older it has grown on me. And I will definitely be using that awesome orange in a 3 yard quilt. Thank you so much for watching and your kind comments. :-) April

[@gisellejones1139]

That looked like my kind of trip..l love fabric sooooo much

[@aprilscraftroom]

I believe I am considered a collector. LOL. I collect scrapbook paper too. ;-) April

Great looking haul of fabrics April. Time to get sewing.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Absolutely! Thank you for watching. April

[@elizabethmullhall8226]

Loved going along on your shopping trip and wow such great shops and fabrics. I live in Dublin, the capital city of Ireland, and we wouldn't have anything like that selection of quilting shops 😥. A question: I was wondering do you pre-wash your fabric? I know it's a hourly debated subject. Sending best wishes 🤗

[@aprilscraftroom]

I do not pre wash my fabric. :-). My mother went on a trip to Ireland and loved it. It was actually put together by our local quilt shop. Thank you for watching. April

[@marypennington3525]

Hi April nice town, what are the winters like? Do you get a lot of snow there? I have been in London Kentucky a long time ago but it was in the summertime and it was warm. I love small towns. Keep the videos coming I love them all. Take Care and God Bless.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Winters just depend. We sometimes have mild winters, but like this year we've had snow a couple times and it has been really cold for a stretch. Spring is lovely and summer can be quite warm. I love visiting other places too. I've run into some adorable little towns in Kentucky, Indiana and Tennessee in my quilt shop hop travels. :-) Thank you for watching and commenting. April

[@sheilacrenshaw7533]

@@juliehiggins4944 There are several. You can find all of them on www.fabriccafe.com/Default.asp. I also buy them on Amazon because there is no shipping cost for me and I want instant gratification. :-)

Thanks. I have already picked out a 3 yard quilt pattern for 4 of the fabrics. Yeah - I know 4 is more than 3. LOL. Thank you for watching. April

That is so funny….instead of dots these are swishes. Poor Monet. He should have used swishes.

[@aprilscraftroom]

LOL. Yes he should have. 😉 April

[@maryviti6799]

April, What line of fabric is the Butterfly Collection? In case it’s still available I would like the paint splatter design.😀

[@aprilscraftroom]

It is Butterflies Moon by Northcott. I found one here: www.etsy.com/listing/674726856/butterflies-moon-imagine-artisan-spirits?gpla=1&gao=1& April

Super curious to know in what state you live. I’m in Georgia and travel north into North Carolina regularly to some great stores. Seems that everywhere I go, there is something new to see. Went to Biloxi last week and shopped there too. Such an addiction.

[@aprilscraftroom]

I live in Kentucky. We go to Florida every year and they have some great quilt shops! I might have to plan a road trip to North Carolina. I actually lived in North Carolina many years ago. We are collectors. ;-) April

How far are these shops from Padua? I want to stop in that area to see the quilt museum sometime on my way from Florida to Missouri or on way back.

[@aprilscraftroom]

The ones in Pembroke, Trenton and Clarksville TN are probably 2 hours from Paducah. I'm not sure if that will be on your way or not, but it would make a great detour. :-). I want to go to the quilt museum too.

[@tracystrobel1065]

How much yardage do you buy when you go shopping?

[@aprilscraftroom]

If I kind of like it 1 yard. If I love it 2 yards. If I love it and am afraid I won’t be able to find it again 4 yards. 😀 April

@@aprilscraftroom thank you, noticed a few of the chunks of fabric were bigger then others. Lol so i know which ones you love….
