An after thought. I inquired about the price of having two pictures framed. $150. Ask about the 50 % off and was told that was already included. $300 to frame two pics 11" x 17"? I don't think so.

I love to shop for fabric. I have a new way of doing it. When I want to shop, I go shopping in my fabric closet. I have a goal of shopping in my sewing room first, and then if I just can't find it, and I just can't think of any option from my shopping closet, then I will go store shopping. I find that I have a really good time closet shopping because there is some pretty stuff in there! And one amazing outcome is that my fabric closet is a lot more organized! It makes shopping easier. :)

My question to you is how do you stop!! I see something that I just have to have, since who knows if it will be there later! I just need to stop LOOKING. :) Which is IMPOSSIBLE. :):)
Any thoughts QB friends?

I almost done with a quilt top for a customer that is all stash and mostly scrap stash. Thr Purple butterfly memory quilt will earn me a couple hundred dollars and bust stash at the same time. That's what I'm talking about!!! YEAH!!!'

Not going to the store helps me. Also I un-subscribed from several quilt shop mailing lists because the temptation to browse was too much.
Went to a quilt show in April, and I just took cash, and left my credit/debit cards at home so I wouldn't go over budget.
