Okay, now what have I said? I'm purging my stash! What have I done? LOL ... I've bought a bunch of new fabric. Can you say .... can't resist a bargain? One of the LQS in the area is closing the retail portion of their shop. Sad to see, indeed. I hate to see shops close, but am happy for them - they are easing a little bit further into retirement! (green eyes flashing brightly here!). Soooooooo, the long and short of it is, they have all their fabric on sale for $5.00/yard. Please tell me what fabriholic could resist that? NOT this one! I added a whopping .... drum roll, please ... 30 yards to my stash. Yes, I said THIRTY, not a simple three *groan*. The good news is that I pretty much restrained myself to the colors I am currently collecting ~ black and white for the most part. A random couple of yards that simply "spoke" to me snuck into my pile... and a to die for batik or two *smiles*. Oh, and a three yard piece of William Morris which will be the border for a scrap quilt I've yet to start - but have collected.
So I guess I get the kinda, sorta bad girl star for the week ... although I get a good girl star for being thrifty. After all, yard goods are now selling for 10+ per yard, but ... I don't really think I need to tell you that! I spotted a batik piece in another shop which just screamed out to me ~ gathered the bolt tightly in my arms screaming .. MINE! Looked at the bolt end price - 12.50/yard. Quick like lightning placed it back on the shelf. I simply can't make myself go there yet. *sigh*.
Happy Shopping everyone! Oh, yeah.. and trying a new tool I've spotted here ... scheduling postings. This one should delay by a whole hour or so, but well worth the "test".
