Books, Threads, Patterns, Notions. Brother Sewing Machine
Quilting, Craft and Knitting Tools. Upholstery, Knits & Drape Material.
Private Quilter's Stash is being liquidated.
***** BARGAINS GALORE ***** "
OH..... how I would love to go and buy, buy, buy!!!!! But so far I am resisting. It would be about an hour drive for me to get there, about 50 miles each way. That would be a lot of gas burned in my gas guzzler. And then WHO KNOWS how much money I would spend once I got there!
Oh, yeah.... I REALLY do NOT need any more fabric! I have enough to last my whole lifetime!
But OH, .... it is SO tempting! Maybe tomorrow! But by then, the best stuff will be gone! What to do!!!!!?????

JoAnn's or Wal-mart sells fabric like that! Yuck! :thumbdown:

Well, I did not go. I was just afraid that the fabric would be either cheap junky stuff, or nice $10.00/yard fabric that they were selling for $8.00/yard.
If I knew it was going to be nice $10.00/yard fabric that they were selling for $1.00 or $2.00 /yard I would have gone.
But the thing that scared me off was the day before, I had gone to a garage sale (only 8 miles away) that had advertised they had "quilting fabric" and all they had were baggies of scraps of junky, old fabric that were not even cottons. The only "lengths" of fabric they had were old upholstery fabric.
I decided that I did not want to drive all the way to Columbus and be that disappointed again.
Oh well, maybe next time.
Did anyone else from here go? How was it?

I'm glad you resisted the temptation to go. A bargin isn't a bargin if you don' need what you are buying. Now if you were making dog throws.. and it didn't matter what the quality of the fabric was... and you could get even yucky fabric for cheap.. that would have been a different story all together... LOL

I do watch coupons and sales. Today I went to local JoAnn's with my 50% off coupon and bought 10.12 yards of warm and natural with a savings of $55.64. Plus they gave me in house coupons for October 17 to the 23rd.
