What do you buy??

I shop at Joann's and Hancocks because I enjoy the atmosphere there. We went to Hancocks yesterday and found a yard of the linen I needed for my current purse project. It cost me 2 bucks for the yard of linen in the remnant bin!
Then my husband surprised me with 4 new pairs of shears......a cute pair of 7" Mundial dressmaker shears and a set of soft gel cushioned scissors in three different sizes!

I usually buy patriotic fabrics when they are on sale at JoAnn's. Last week they were 40%, I bought 10 yards.
I make Quilts of Valor, I help support my group of quilters with fabric when I can afford it.

I buy from any place that sells fabric as long as I like the fabric. You can find good and bad fabric anywhere you shop. I just bought two beautiful fabrics from Walmart yesterday, heavy and a very good hand. I wasn't looking to buy fabric but it caught my eye and when I looked it over I just had to buy it.

Joanns has jewelry makings and knitting and Home Dec fabric - I do not buy quilting fabric there. If I'm spending that much on fabric I'm going to my lqs or online.

Check Joann's web site. There are coupons and a place to click for the current sale flyer every week. I have had my flyer scanned a couple of times and no one around here is receiving the big mailings any longer. Just a large post card. Even our Sunday newspaper only has information about once a month if that often.

I shop at JAF frequently, as well as Walmart and the LQS near me. Depends what I am looking for as to where I shop. Today I was at JAF and bought an ironing board cover (50% off coupon) and a white fabric paint pen (50% off coupon). I spent a total of $10.39. The board cover would have cost me at least $10 at Walmart or Target.
I buy fabric at JAF as well as LQS, sometimes even at Walmart. All I know is that you have to look over the fabrics well. There is good fabric at JAF, Walmart & LQS as well as cheap fabric at all three. Know your needs, your budget and your fabrics.

I don't spend as much time at Joanns, Hobby Lobby or even at quilt shops like I used to do but I hit Joann's for notions(mainly needles), rotary cutter blades, books, cotton yarn when the knitting/crochet make dishcloths 'bug' bites me, and I hit the place HARD when I was doing I Spy quilts for kids in the family- quilt shops had some novelties but TONS of kid novelties at Joanns as well as the fleece I used for the backings. I also buy batting and muslin for string quilts
