Jim, my DH picked up some fabric at the LQS about a month ago. I'd bought 1/8th yard to test with a focus fabric, and it worked well. I managed to get a sinus infection, so I sent him to buy me 2 yards more - which was about all that was left when I bought my sample.
He got soooo much attention from the ladies working in the store! Good attention, though; they wanted to know what he was working on. (No stereotyping in that store!)
He told them the truth, "Keeping my wife happy."
