I buy fabric at any time - any season at any time of the year - especially when I find it on sale for a great price...actually, I picked up some Christmas panels today...so it's already started for another year. 'smile'

If I see a fabric I love at any time of the year, I'll buy it before I can't find it again. I particularly love snowflake fabric.
I do play a little game with myself. If I see Christmas fabric right before the holiday, I tell myself I don't have time to make anything with it. If I see it in Jan., I think I can make something now and be ready before next Christmas.
By the way, the LQS around here did not put a lot of Christmas fabric on sale after the holidays here.

I'm addicted to fabric. I know when I walk into a fabric store that I'm going to buy something. I asked my daughter what she is planning to do with all my stuff when I die. She replied "Nothing. I'm making this into a museum!"

I just bought a lot of Christmas Fabric and panels that I have wanted this whole season.
I do this all the time that is why my HB says I have more fabric than most stores I go into.
Also found a lot of Jelly rolls and Fat quarter sets on great sale prices so guess who bought a lot.
Both of my Daughters are into quilting so guess what they are getting for Christmas and Birthdays this next year?
Also when I find books on sale I buy extra's for gifts.
So when gift time rolls around all I have to do is dig in the gift bin. The only problem is if it is a problem I always get one for me to. Kathy kjym

I bought most of mine before but they had a 60% off plus had a 15% coupon. Went yesterday, what was left was only 25% off. POOR choice of a few fabrics.
We only have a JoAnn's and it is a really small store.
I made table runners for 3 family member, Now need 1 for myself. I plan on making mine reversable for Christmas and winter on the other side.

I bought quite a bit this year (2009) for next years projects. I am always on the watch for Christmas fabric because it is my favorite holiday and I know I'll use it.

My daughter recently moved to Hawaii when my SIL returned from deployment; one of the first things she noticed was that fabric was scarce and expensive on Oahu. I dug thru my stash and sent her some remants - she laughed at me 'cause one still had the store band and it was older than her!!
