    A carriage ride sounds fun! I spy a lot of fabric that I don’t recognize – mystery fabric! 🙂

    It sounds like you had a fun holiday, carriage riding always seems very romantic to me. I am useless at naming fabric and designers but I do see lots of pretty things including gorgeous orange spots which is just right for making harvest pumpkin pincushions. Thank you for the giveaway.

    I spy a lot of beautiful fabrics in some of my favorite colors. I spy a piece of Halloween fabric peeking out of the bottom. Sorry, I’m not very good with designer and line names. I just know a fabric that I like when I see it.

    Lake Superior has always sounded so lovely to me as a non-USAer!!
