Fat quarters at my Joann's are $2 a piece and of course a yard is anywhere from $3 to $10....and her yards are not from Joann's but from a LQS. I'm so excited!!!

My soul is hardy and can take it and after all, what are quilting buddies for if not to help each other? Consider it a mitzvah (good deed). * gives big eyed innocent look * I just want to help you out.

She obviously didn't know the hidden value!!!!
I went to a meet and greet in south florida last week at a fabric store.
Since I have a new-to-me sewing room that is almost finished, I am going to decorate and fell in love with one of the fabrics.
I was getting six yards and walked around with it, hugged up to my chest.
After a bit, one of the cutters asked me,
"Are you ready for me to cut that or are you still bonding?"
