I think I have brainwashed myself to know I have everything I need for Any project I choose to embark on next or even off in the future. My big challenge will be my LQS. Once a month they have a "sit and sew" where we can take our machine and sew in their back room. You pay $5 and get it back at the end of the day if you buy something in the store. And the sewing machine store is next door, connected by a convenient door. The LQS has an old cart that she keeps full of bolts of fabric she wants to clear out, for $5/yard. Most of it being Moda or other name brands. She also has a bin I call a horse trough where she has what's left on the bolt for $5 a yard, but you have to buy the whole thing, usually only about 2 yards left. I usually go through and buy up lots of the sale fabrics. I tell myself she depends on me to help her clear out so she can get in more. How am I going to break her heart by not buying anything????
