I'm sorry I missed the sale on thread but I found plenty to get myself in trouble with. I purchased 3 charm packs and the backing for the quilt I want to make with them. I was doing good till that point but then purchased two other fabrics for a total of 4 1/2 yards I just couldn't resist. In my own defense, however, you should have seen my cart before I gave myself a strong talking to. So I fell but climbing right back on the wagon.
