No, no pictures yet. :P I just ordered 65 yards of Bali Prints at Thousands of Bolts. It's on sale for $5.95 per yard and I just scrolled through all of them and clicked on everything that I liked.
Got a bonus at work and I indulged myself a little bit. Last year I got a longarm machine with my bonus so I'm being a little conservative this year. Having it delivered to work since I have had packages disappear off my porch and no way do I want this one to go missing. |
NICE!!! I wish I could do that. Be sure to post pics when your fabric arrives.
|
Yum! I did that at Keepsake Quilting last time I went up there. What a great high that much new fabric all at once can be!! Have a wonderful time unpacking! :D
|
hoo-ray for bonuses!
|
Enjoy it all...ya gotta show us the quilts too or is the fabric just to pet?
|
Good for you! I've gotten real conservative in the fabric shopping too.
|
I think the most I've ever bought at one time was 12 yards for my Patriotic quilt because that was totally planned, fabric figured up and bought specifically for it.
I can hardly wait! I got a lot of blues and beige/whites with blues and I am thinking of something very simple with big pieces to show the pretty fabric. I have a pattern called 4-Square Fun that I did in CW repros for my brother and it was very quick to do. |
Trying to make us all jealous?? Be sure to post pictures.
|
fun!!!!!! :P :-D :P
|
Sounds like the best way I can think of to spend a bonus! Enjoy! :D :D
|
Great use of that bonus check. I am hoping to convince DH to get me the embroidery machine I want with our tax refund......we'll see. Timing is everything. Guess I had better start waiting on him hand and foot, huh? hehe
|
What fun you must have had ordering all that fabric!
|
ahhhh...you deserve it! You are going to have so much fun! Post pics when you get your yummy fabric so we can all drool ;)
|
Congratulations on your bonus. Nice way to use it.
Enjoy your fabrics. |
That's great! I haven't noticed many posts lately from you...what are you working on these days? I miss seeing your projects!
|
Enjoy!
|
Hey, you're helping the economy! Kudos!
|
wow!!!!
|
I just wanted a little treat for myself, the rest is going into the old boring saving for retirement.
I'm still working on the faceted jewels quilt. I have ONE more block to sew the strips of squares together on and ONE side of the outer row to do. Almost done. |
You are going to have SOO much fun. Maybe I should come and play in your sandbox !
|
Oh my goodness you will be in heaven for a long time just looking at all those beautiful yards of batiks. Have a great time with it.
|
I want a bonas too!!!lol
|
That's great. Bet you had fun picking it out.
|
OMG.. How very exciting. Can't wait to see the pics.
BTW.. what is this THOUSANDS OF BOLTS???? OMG.. I am going to find their site right now. |
Oh boy....how exciting is that!
Maureen |
So did you get 65 1yard lengths? or bolts of the stuff? How did you split up 65yards of it? I wanna' see pictures I can drool over.
By-the-way... Congratulations on your bonus. Its nice to be appreciated at work! |
Wow! Really enjoy all that great fabric!
|
Good for you.
|
Congrats on the bonus! Have fun with all that fabric!
|
It's one yard cuts of 65 different fabrics. I didn't get ALL of the Bali Prints they have. I'm a little burned out on browns right now, just finishing up a quilt all in beige and brown batiks, so didn't get any of those. I added a yard of every single one I liked and then culled out less favorite ones in my cart.
I shop at www.thousandsofbolts.com quite a lot. They have a very large selection and pretty good prices. |
lucky you. which long arm did you buy? I am considering one.

I got a Queen Quilter though now I wish I had just spent more and got a better one with a metal frame. I may just put this bonus away and start saving for something like an APQS Millenium.
I got some of the Fabric Depot sale batiks but just enough for a specific quilt. |
The most I've bought was 30yds,.......lucky you, don't forget to post a pic, and lets know if you were happy with your buy!
|
Now you all have me wondering how many yards I actually bought on my big spree the other day. I have to check.
LOL ... we are bad to the bolt! I was at 58. Whew... just in under you girl. I cannot believe it was that much. Wow.. I hate knowing that. |
Sounds like a dream come true. I know you will have lots of fun with it. Good Luck and Good for you.
|
OMG OMG OMG!!!!! Have fun.
|
Congrats on the bonus! I can't think of a better way to spend some of it.
|
Wow!!! Good for you!! Congratulations!!
|
That is great like Christmas in March lol.
