If it's in your budget give yourself a Christmas present and have fun buying fabric:) I always feel so good when I can buy fabric for less than 20% off. Merry Christmas.

I agree with those that told you to go for it..especially with the prices for fabric so high in Canada. Consider it a gift to yourself!

Fast forward a few years to where you have actually used it all as planned. Be honest!

Sorry, no help here. I just had to get that pink I needed to finish a project and I had a coupon. How could I not go? LOL

I'd look at some of the fixtures also if they are selling them. Sometimes you can pick up great storage or cutting pieces....anyway, go for it!

OMG, I would probably be there every day. My LQS has a big SuperBowl sale every year and knowning I don't need anything I can't resist the temptation to go. I have more fat quarters than I will ever need so this year I'm going to try and stay away from the fat quarters. If you empty a bolt it's an extra 25% off and most of them have less than 4 yards on them and are really good buys so those are the ones I will look for this year. I have been testing my self to see if I can not buy anything and so far I haven't. So I will save up for that sale. Go got it and stop buying another time. Fabric seems to keep going up anyway so while it on sale you must buy.

OK - I haven't read through all of the posts - but I am going to gues that nobody has been a big help to you. Not me either! I would especially look for yardage for backing in colors that I know I am going to be making a quilt in. One of our shops has a huge end of year sale and that is what I normally look for - something that would make a good back and possibly even borders for a quilt. I have to say that I have been pretty successful in using those or selling to one of my buddies for a backing. With fabric going up so high I say with 75% off get what you can afford and like.

I have the same addiction so would not be very helpful. Good luck and HAPPY SHOPPING!!!!

Gee if it were closer, I think a bus load of us would be heading there.75% is as good as it gets for we quilters up here in Canada. Sounds like you can't afford not to shop, lol.
