Portland Adventures...
On Friday morning at 7am Victoria, my mom and I started our trip down to Portland, OR. Yes, we were going to Fabric Depot again (and some other fabric stores).
Our first stop was EE Schenk. This is a wholesaler's warehouse full of
all sorts of fabrics, notions, and patterns for sewing and quilting.

After about an hour we met up with Cherie and some other friends and all
ventured off together to the Fabric Depot. For the next couple of hours
we gathered all sorts of fabrics and trims. We went with quite a long
list for specific jobs but also got extra fabric for some children's
clothing. We found everything we needed which was quite a relief! Next we headed to the Taylor's for a scrumptious lunch in the sun!

After some of the ladies took off back home, we decided to take a walk
along the boardwalk with our sister Naomi and Faith. On a sunny day this is
definitely a "must do" in Portland. It was so beautiful! We stopped at a
little ice-cream shop and got a double-scoop ice-cream cone. If you
want a full portion of ice-cream this is the place to go. Their scoops
were huge! I couldn't even finish it. Later we went out to dinner with Sarah then to another friend's house for games...

We rested up on Saturday and went fabric shopping again. This time we
went to the Mill End first...if you are looking for a wide variety of
silks, brocades, wools, jean and homespun fabrics, this is the place to
go! Then we went to Fabric Depot again...(we just can't get enough of
it!)

Later we went to a cupcake shop and out to coffee with Elena. It
was so nice to be able to fabric shop with a wide variety, and to spend
time with our friends in Portland...
