    Smile No need for JoAnns anymore.

    Working on a quilt and decided I need bias strips. Good, found fab that coor w/quilt. No need for JoAnns.
    What about thread for quilting. Yes Yes have a full spool of thread. No need for JoAnns.
    Ready to sandwhich. There's more than enough batting in my stash. No need for JoAnns.
    Hmm..so far so good. Now how about backing. Digging digging...there THEY are three hunks of fab to choose from. No need for JoAnns.

    Ya need somethin? Come on over to Julie's. Maybe I'll change my name to JoAnn!

    Haven't been to JoAnns in three weeks. Used to go every Sunday to shop and just for fun. Girls probably think something bad happened. Nope...my house is like their store. No I lied. Their store is tidy and organized. I'm a quilter. I rest my case.
    If you don't work on it you'll never finish it.

    Sounds like shopping in your own supplies has worked out for you. Do consider an upgrade in your home shops name ... Jo'anns is not quite fitting ( LOL ) !
    Back in the day before stores were open on Sunday's ... it was amazing the improvising that took place so you could keep going .

    The problem with going out to get something is that I usually come home with more than I meant to get.

    That is why I try to NOT shop at all....unless I have a plan in mind - need new sandals, capris, tennis shoes, etc. I have been practicing "I don't need that" - and if it is not on sale - don't buy it! LOL...

    I can surely relate to that. Is it contagious?

    Julie, I must say that I commend you on you're resolve to find what you need within your home. I've been pretty much begging Brownie to go to JoAnns or Hancock so I could find some appropriate trim for his new "man" pillowcase I made him for Fathers day. But without success, I have to take him with me so he can limit my purchasing of items. I have no control, I love everything and if I could I would by 5 yards of everything just in case.
