Sale at Keepsake Quilting
 
DH and I just spent three glorious days in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Our route home took us through Center Harbor, so of course I had to stop at Keepsake Quilting. While DH sat on the porch and chatted with the other hubbies, I spent an hour in the sale room. What I didn't notice at first was the flyer announcing a sale on clearance fabric. When I did notice it, I stacked up several bolts and added to my already considerable stash at 20% off. As the clerk was cutting my purchases, I mentioned to her that I recently told my husband I wasn't going to buy any more fabric, and we had a good laugh.:D

Haven't been to keepsake quilting, but I do love a fabric sale! I, too, tell my husband that I'm not buying more fabric...

So glad you enjoyed your time and it ended with a purchase of some quilting fabrics. I bet you have some treasures.

That is one of the places on my "dream to go to some day" list.

However I may need a husband first, my current one has no desire to go to that area of the country (not even for the bribe of real seafood!)

Keepsake is to expensive even on sale. So dont buy much from them.

Sale or not, I loved the times I was able to go to Keepsake Quilting and fondle the fabric. We aren't able to go now, so I use the catalog; but I have very fond memories of my times at Keepsake. Once, while on vacation, I only had 10 minutes before we caught the boat to tour Lake Winnepasaukee, but I made the mad dash and finished just in time.

I too tell my DH that I am not going to buy any fabric but he knows better and doesn't hold me to it. lol

On Keepsake online today it is free shipping if you buy over$100. I will never get to see the shop in person so I just have to enjoy their catalog.. I ordered the dragonfly wallhanging and already have the spot picked out to hang it when I'm done.

I just looked up Keepsake and it is over 16 hours away from me. I doubt that I will get there any time soon, although I would love to visit.

Dh did drive me 6 hours last month so that I could shop at Hancock's of Paducah. I enjoyed it so much.
