Mark and I visited our son at college today and I spotted a fabric store--a BIG one--on the way there. It was open on our way home!! :D :shock: :D :shock:

They have over 7,500 bolts of cotton fabrics. :shock: :lol: :D :shock:

Now, you know just how much self control I used to get out of there with only 5 (correction, 7) pieces. I also (oh, you'll be so very proud of me) asked where the sale ones were. :wink:

The center fall color is the only flannel--$4.50/yd. The blue with gold squares and the one next to it were also $4.50/yd. The batiks were not on sale--but I can't resist an earthy batik.

The owner is so smart--she had a TV going with the football game on--Mark gravitated toward it right away. Hey! I was impressed he even came in! :lol:

Dawn Hendrix

LOL with a TV he might let ya stop next time just for a game update!


Love the fabrics! Now go play with your new machine!

Very nice selection Karla! You really did have a lot of control didn't you?

barnbum

Yes, sandpat--I LEFT 7,495 (correction, 7, 493) there. Not as much as 1/4 yard of any of those. :wink: :lol:

That's really pretty stuff you got!!! :)

I don't know if I could have had as much self control.
Fabric shops are my downfall if I can get into one.
You did good and to get Mark in there? WOW! I'll tell ya, that's one smart shop owner. lol

Ditto on the shop owner having the game on! I wonder how many "uh hu honey.... that's fine dear..." she must hear! LOL!

:) So pretty!

Wow, that was some control, I would have never made it out of there with so little fabric. I can't even go to Joanns anymore without spending $100-$200 every time I'm in there. Thank goodness I can put most of it to use. And my hubby doesn't complain anymore how much I buy cause he knows how much I sell out of it! Oh, and your fabrics you did pick are beautiful!

HEY i COUNT 7 DIFFERENT FABRICS
not 5
are you trying to pull one over on us.
Maybe my eyes are tired.
Very very nice choices you have made.

Marcia

All are just yummy!!! What a wonderful day you had--got to visit with your DS AND buy fabric. What more could a mom want?

barnbum

dreamer--you're right!! Where did I get 5? :oops:

So---are you still proud of me for leaving 7,493? :roll:
