Default oooooohhhh!!!!!! the sale!!!!

On super bowl Sunday my fav quilt shop has their annual super bowl sale. This is the first year I went and OMG!!!!!! it was amazing all the "clearence" fabric was 50% off there were probably well over 500 bolts of fabric well maybe not that many. But could have been. This included batiks that I love. And there were other things on sale but didn't really look. Iended up spending probably around $80 but got 16 one yard cuts and two of them were a bit over a yard. End of the bolt style. Oh man was it awesome and met a few supper nice ladies. We were all buying batiks and would just hand a bolt to the lady and then she would cut the bolt up into how ever many different size.pieces we wanted then she would markg on the slips how much and the price. It was really a heart warming thing. I am tearing Iup just thinking how nice these 5 ladies I met were. They made sure there was at least a yard of the fabric left over for each of us that liked it. Did meet one lady who I had asked if I could have a yard of this one fabric when she had the bolt cut and she was kinda rude and said no. And she got like all 8 yards that were there. She didn't have anything planned for it either. It was kinda mean. But I did get some fab fabric there. Wish the sale was more than once a year. Will post pics of what I got later. But it was awesome experience. And everyone who was there was the nicest for the most part. I can't wait for next year. Gives me a good reason to look forward to the super bowl. Hehe. Quilters are Deffinatly the nicest most shareing people ever.

My LQS also had a Super Bowl Sale. They had a room that was cash & carry meaning it was one price for the entire bolt. Prices were $5 to $30. Some were bargains some were not. They also had a 25 percent off the entire store. I was shocked when the total came to $180.
