Before I went to my retreat at the ocean this weekend DH told me that he went to the bank and got me $400. My eyes got really big. He said: "I want you to have a good time" .....so I did. Stopped at the Quilting Cupboard in Atascadero and got 5 yards of plain white (was totally out) and a bunch of iron-on interfacing (was totally out of that too). So those count toward the "need" category. Of course the 5 yards of Civil War fabrics don't ----but they were so pretty and they made me soooo happy.....
Today on our way home, we all stopped at the Cotton Ball in Morro Bay. Lovely store with lots of options. I did pick up a Moda jelly roll to go with a project I have in the works, and a F4 pack of patriotic fabric. I call that "supporting the local economy"
