In Brewster's Millions, didn't he have to spend the money and have NOTHING to show for it at the end of the month?

If that were the case, I would LOVE to have the money to spend on my fellow quilters. I have enough fabric in my house right now to keep me occupied for the rest of my lifetime (not that that keeps me from still shopping for more), so it would be a blast to be able to buy all this fabric for my quilting friends and for charities that make quilts.

Okay, if I win how 'bout you going to Paducah with me and if you win I go with you! I am not much of a dicker-er (is that even a word?).

Sure! I already have a list going. Now give it to me and I'll prove it. ;)

First I would stop at our little batik shop and buy them out, it wouldn't take much because it is a small shop. BTW can I rent a U-Haul truck? Next I would head to Paducah 45min drive with my Dd and hit Hancock's then invite you all over for a fabric party. Woo hoo every body gets some. Just no fighting please there will be plenty to go around.

hee hee, that sounds like something I would do!! Um, Wait an minute,.... I do it all the time! I always go into a store thinking, " I'll only buy what I need and leave." RIGHT! last week I went a little too far and had to use half cc and half cash! Well, I could have given something up, but Yeah, RIGHT! I don't think so! hee hee

I need as many bolts of 105" muslin backing as I can find, oh and whatever 105" blender backing too please. How am I doing? May I please get some of that garden prints...yes I'll take a bolt from the whole collection, thank you. Now that all of that is out of the way, I'll just stroll down this way and take whatever strikes my fancy. What do you mean I passed the $15,000??? I owe how much???? opps!

:lol:

I'd pick a store and have the time of my life. Heck maybe they would just sell me the store. Oh boy would I have fun.
I'd even invite you to help me. ;)
