Good job, Connie!!

I might have been bad today... maybe.
Foust Textiles sale was yesterday and today, and I went with one of my regular customers. She had never been before, and was just overwhelmed at all the fabrics and the awesome prices. She bought some fabrics to make quilts for two little girls.

I bought two bolts of wide backing fabric, 15 yards/bolt, less than $5/yard. So, was I bad... well, maybe a little. But, I think backing is an "allowed" purchase. I resisted the siren-call of the deep purple and a dark blue, and bought neutrals - those will go with almost ANY customer quilt. The blue and purple probably would have ended up as more stash.

However, my friend needed a little white (but not a whole bolt's worth!) and some almost-royal-blue... so she shopped my stash. That's a total of about 6 yards going out for me. So, in that case, I was good.

It was a good time of friendship and fellowship - almost 4 hours together, petting fabric and talking quilting.
