Or maybe I can rationalize and say even after I buy fabric--it's still less than I would if I was a jewelry person, or if I was at all familiar with make-up. And, except for my favorite Muck boots and running shoes, I'm not into buying shoes. I only shop for clothes if I need to...

Or how about this: we never go on vacations--and this was waay cheaper than a cruise--heck cheaper even than driving to see the ocean.

Am I good yet? :wink:

Why this is Angie's fault: She really liked the daisy fabric from the table runners...and I have to say it's my favorite fabric ever. I knew exactly where I got it--one of the local Mennonite shops in the back on the second to bottom shelf on the far left... :D I wanted to help Angie find some, so I searched the internet yesterday with all the words from the salvage ... no luck. So, I made a trip to the shop this morning to see if there was any left... thinking there was a slim chance. I searched the location--nothing. Oh well--might as well look around while I'm here. :roll: :shock: :lol:

"There's one I love! Oh my--folks would love that in a table runner! That's a beautiful red! I love the vines on this one! Oh--Good thing I'm here, I needed a wide back for that 40x40 piece-Tranquility..."

And on it went.

BUT!! I FOUND THE DAISY FABRIC!! :D :lol: :!: :D :lol: :!: (We need a celebrating smiley!) I bought all that was left--because afterall, I appreciate it more than any living thing--so I should have it--right? RIGHT?? :wink: 6 and 1/8 yards :!: :!: :!: :!:

Well...that was the story. Here are the results. Over 20 yards for $102. The white on tan is the backing...the Morning Glories will be for table runners... as well as the Sunflowers. The solids are to go with the Sunflowers... and there's my Daisy fabric. I'll share with Angie since her b-day is coming up. :wink: The rest?- Who knows. I'll be glad it's there some day. :wink:
