The first place I go when entering any fabric store is the remnant bin. Often it is the ONLY place I go. These are, quite obviously, not planned purchases. If I need something specific I buy it. Otherwise I mostly just shop my stash. I am a scrap happy girl and thirty years of collecting a bit of this and a bit of that give me enough variety. I also pick up pieces here and there from all of you too. It works for me. The way I see it - every purchase is a splurge - and a present for me. I deserve it!
