Yesterday I went on the guild bus trip to the Hershey, PA quilt show.  Fantastic show (to bad I forgot my camera), wonderful vendors and a great time.  The 3 1/2 hour bus ride each way was kind of tiring but still had a wonderful time.  
As I expected I did some major stash enhancement at the show.  I was specifically looking to add a couple of batik fabrics to my stash and find some nice small prints that would make good borders to some fall table runners.  
I ended up getting the batiks, the fall prints, a bright kids print and a FQ packet I couldn't pass up.  In addition I purchased two patterns, a spool of bottom line bobbin thread, a couple of quilty cards and a telescoping back scratcher.  I definitely helped the economy.  
Here is a picture of my "haul" and stats for the week:
Fabric used this week:  3/4 yard
Fabric used YTD:  180 yards
Fabric purchased this week:  9 yards
Fabric purchased YTD:  127.5 yards
Net fabric used in 2011:  52.5 yards
My usage this week was very small.  I spent most of the week quilting customer quilts and working on very little of my own projects.  Here is a picture of one of the last customer quilts I quilted.  This was made by a 14 year old, she did a great job.
and look at this little piece of a quilt, this was the last one on my frame.
Have a wonderful day.

Cute quilts! I probably would have done much worse on stash enhancement... looks like you had a great plan.
You did great on the enhancement. You are still in the busting mode.
A telescoping back scratcher? That sounds like something I need since I usually get an itch in an unreachable spot.

Sounds like you had a great time on your stash enchancing trip!!
