[quote=dreamer2009]Okay, you touched my heart strings. Tell me about these babies that are going to be so blessed by you!

The flannel that was on sale today?

okay, how long will it have to stay in your trunk before you get the nerve to bring it into the house? tee hee

[quote=np3]I have been doing this maybe 5-years.
They go to a women & children"s abuse shelter.
They in return get them to where they are needed most.
I am also taking on adding in the foster children program this year.
Kids being yanked from their homes with nothing but a quilt is sad. So my quilts will be warm and snuggly because they will hold a lot of fallen tears from these kids.

WOW WOW WOW!!! You must have got a WHOLE LOT of fabric!!! Good shopping!

I spent $40 at Hancocks and another $40 at the Singer store. Hancocks had the titanium scissor set on sale for $9.99 and I grabbed that bargain quick.

Awesome!!! Can't believe it only took two hours.
:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :lol:

Yes a whole lot of fabric for a VERY GOOD CAUSE :wink:

has to go to storage tomorrow.
not enough room in here at the moment.
there is a lot of fabric here being prepped for quilts now.
I cut and box in stages.

I WAS SO surprised at the amount of time.
Most of that was at cutting table.
First thing I did when getting into store was to grab a cutting number then go shopping. Cuts down on wait time.
I also bought a lot of sealed bolts so they only had to scan and NOT roll out and measure. ;) ;) ;)

So good for you and the cause you are involved; little ones warm and snuggled! Way to go... :D

Two great ideas: cutting number and sealed bolts! You rock.
Blessings on you and your projects. and the recipients too.

OK, you made me go look at my mile long Joanns receipt to see how I fared. I didn't spend as much as you did - only $43.29, but my savings was $137.07. That's pretty significant.

I have to add though, I shopped for fabric in 3 different stores today so overall I did spend a tad more than a paltry $43!!

:mrgreen:

I'm so happy for you! grrrrrrr. I was sick today but my nearest JoAnns in 2 hours away and the roads aren't that great!

Seriously...I have shopped many years at JoAnns and when they have a sale you go for it! :D

I am just a little envious? WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Well, there are always good deals at Joanns...I went to our store and there was about 7 people in there and 6 people cutting but no line...how great is that....I walked out with about $300.00 worth of sewing things for $125.00. I was so excited and it didnt take me but 1/2hr to shop cause I knew just what I wanted.

I was actually grateful for the long check out line because I met the sweetest lady who was making things for her new little grandbaby. Boy was she excited about that baby. She made my day!

We were in and out of our JoAnns in less than a half hour and saved over $700. I buy flannel by the bolt for backs so don't have to stand in a cutting line. Price for quilt batts is fantastic! Happy sewing!

YUP!!!!!that works for me & Tracy....She saved over $300.00, & fleece & flannel were 1st on the list......now to finish the Christmas items. Great job shoppers......

Thanks GrandPa
make me :oops:

NEVER, ever be jealous...
JUST LOOK AT YOUR AVATAR
that little sweetie out does fabric
on any day of the week...
AND YOU CAN BE SURE
we wouldn't find that darling at a sale. :-)

wow, Donna
you did great on money and time :lol:

Quilt batting is great at JoAnn's. I use 80/20 alot. It is 50% off plus another 20% off your purchase!

I am truly sorry for my envy....today I will count my blessings! Thanks~! :)

I have always enjoyed talking to the people I am in line with.
Have met so many informative and caring people. They are so excited to talk about what they are going to be making with their carts full of fabric.
I am a softie for anyone creating for babies :)

WAY TO GO...Mumzbear

Good for you all. I spent 30.00 and saved 76.00 approx. Not counting the candy bar I bought to keep up my strentgh!

OMG I would have thought you spent close or over $1,000 to save that much.
You did GREAT!!!!

I am just not brave enough for the black friday specials or shopping at this time of year, I have fears LOL.

You are all too funny! I love all the comments!
I didn't go to JoAnn's because, 1. it's an hour away, and 2. I don't need any more fabric, and 3. my DH would kill me if I brought any more home. LOL Not really, but I'll never use all the stash I have if I live to be 300 years old!

i would say you did good !

me too' Flannel. Now what are we going to make?

LOTS & LOTS & LOTS of warm~cuddly~cozy~snuggly
quilts for the abuse shelters and foster kiddies :)

Now that is what I call a good day shopping!!! Good for U

Finally! After 10 years of wanting a cutting table, I got one!. Regularly $129.00, but I paid $47!!! My husband put it together and I am VERY HAPPY! No more back spasms in the sewing room! Btw, the sewing room is new, too!! Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!!

I was wondering how many carts it took to accomplish the deed! LOL <wave> good job!

I did a search and couldn't find your post about the picture, haven't read through the entire thread, but ... well, you know <g> I want to see what the backend of the van looks like full of GOODIES! <wave>
