Ooof! I am exhausted from breaking the fabric moratorium again, the thrift stores have been too generous.

Yesterday we went to different bowling lanes than usual since our normal place was having a fundraiser, so we stopped off at some different thrift stores. Got bags/yards worth of fabric and still left a lot behind! Two Windham digitally printed deer panels for $1.49 total. Two bags of about 6-10 yards of mixed mostly 80s stash, $3.99 each. Red tag day (half price) on a piece of vintage. More.

Today I went to the Goodwill I usually go to on Sunday, just in case the red tag Singer Sew Handy toy machine was still there (wasn't) and I got enough of a solar print for the back of a twin quilt that wasn't even on sale but was still less than $10.

And then finally on the way home, I stopped at the Joann Super Store. I pulled stash fabrics for one of the Simplish quilts I'm going to do and am about 5 rectangles too short from what I want, so I bought a half yard of fabric so I could use those others from the stash. No matter how much I have, it seems I'm always a piece short...

Since we went to that other bowling lane we also dropped by a different Walmart on Sunday. That one had already made the transition out of mostly yardage to mostly pre-cuts and nothing there was on sale. Even assortment packs that were discounted at other stores were still full price. Stay strong, SillySusan!

Edit:

What happy Hexes, Teen! This last week I did send out a box of polyblend hexes from the 70s to a different person on the board. Not from my stash though, one of my Tuesday ladies
