I'm checking posts almost daily watching for all the runners yet to be shipped - hoping for inspiration to complete another tabble runner or topper.
Fabric prices have been going up at local quilt shops but nothing like NZ - ouch that one hurts the pocketbook.
Girlfriend and I usually do shop hops around our area and participate in the big state shop hop. It finally dawned on me that the bundle of fabric reward for visiting all the stores participating in the hop could be purchased several times over for the price of gas we spent getting to all the different shops; I quit smoking almost six years ago and all that money I wasted on my physical health is now spent on my mental health - I buy fabric and notions - it was the perfect trade off, now I have something special to show for my money.
