Thank the LORD!! Just got the email with the new lines out by connecting threads and they are $9.48 a yard. nope - won't pay that - but if those lilacs were $5 I would have been in trouble.
I did however go to the LQS since I needed sashing/binding for a t-shirt quilt I am making. the perfect material was batik and was 108" at $19.99/yd. So I bought 1.5 yards of two colors. Just think - no seams in my sashings!!
Then they had some 50% off and I got another two yards of fabric to be used by my GD this summer in our sewing time. So realllly it is all for someone else!!
