Havplenty

well to me everything counts whether it is from my "stash" or not. the things in my stash costs me as well but there are things i purchase specifically for this swap that i definately count. now that may be just how i do it.

hmmmm...... $10.00 for a fq & a pattern? that is a bit pricey. jacquie i would be willing to be compensated in fabric: fq's, scraps, yardage, etc. to do some swap shopping for you. i will be sure to maximize your $10.00 limit per swapper for you. just know that some things it may be easier to buy in bulk and spread over a couple of swaps (like estate sales buys).

let's see: hancock's have their remnants at $2/yd (that's 4 fq's there), i didnt know patterns cost more than $.99 because that is the only time i buy them, there's a gal on eby that sells quilt patterns for $2.00 or less, i can get novels from my library at $.50 or $.25 each and who knows what i will find at an estate sale(notions, fabric, thread, mags). there's also tuesday morning with plenty of things @ $.99, walmart, big lots, cracker barrel (they have a wonderful store section with all kinds of goodies). i know some folks dont have much time to shop but i will personal shop for you all for the cost of fabric. just lemme know.
