Well I was feeling very virtuous because a) I finished a quilt in less than 2 weeks (it's a miracle) b) I did not buy any fabric, batting or thread at all....it was all from stash and home supplies. Today, however, I had a bit of a slip-up and fell off the wagon....Textile Traders had 99cent fqs and 99cent per metre fabric. I didn't buy metreage, just 7 fqs and some remnants from the remnant bin - the smallest remnant was given to me as they asked what was the smallest scrap I saved and I confessed to 1 1/2 inches (the bit I got free was a very usable 4 inches wide and about 2 metres long). The most excellent part of the whole trip was the amazing $5 per metre curtain fabric.....Husband has gone out to visit all their stores today and Yay.....he's going to make new curtains for the living room and the family room!
