LOL, I try to keep my purchases to $50.00 a VISIT! I wanted to work in the muted tones but didn't have any to use - I usually buy bright. I was lucky to find a whole line on sale - from 40% to 90% off. Bought 85 yards of fabric that day and have been working happily from that stash ever since. As I find other fabric that works with those tones I buy a yard or two so that part of my stash is happily evolving.
