Last night I was on Kijiji and looking for sewing and fabric items.
Well, I hit the Jackpot! Sadly, a lady is closing her business to retire. I stopped in her store this morning and everything was on sale at deep discount prices.

I got:
3 meters of fleece (yellow with flowers)
2 meters of lady bug fabric (dark blue with bugs)
1 meter of a vine print (pale blue with green vines)
And the best for last
50 meters - a brand new bolt of white cotton/poly blend!!!! :-D

I do have a birthday coming up after she closes the doors but I'm keeping my fingers crossed the DH will have pity on me. He was going to get me a gift certificate for the LQS...think I'd like to go back there instead!

Question: Is it normal to get a rush after a buy like that?! I normally detest shopping.

Well done! Yes, you should feel a rush! LOL :lol:

Rush on!! I think that is normal. Only wish I could run across a rush, score, or other incredible deal. Great job! Very sorry for the store owner though. That must be heartbreaking for her.

:)

oh yeah! you got bit by the quilting bug...however yours developed into a rash(rush) lol

Yes, the rush to get to the store and the rush while shopping and the rush to get it all home to play with it!!
What a great deal you have found :D:D:D

The rush is normal. It's in our genes!

Just thinking about going shopping for fabric makes my heart skip a beat and my hands shake. So yes I think the rush is normal.

Thank You! Really want to go back before she closes....

If you don't get a rush over that, someone needs to check for a pulse.

Awesome deals. Where abouts in Ontario? I wonder if it's close to me.

There is shopping and then ....there is shopping. Fabrics make the difference.

Yes...or else someone bringing me a suitcase of fabric--or two, like happened last month. :) I saved it for last--after serving the guests dinner, then cleaning up, and then finally, went over and started looking at all the goodies they brought me.

(It was a church group and they asked for donations from people at church.) Most of it was not the highest quality, but all of it usable. I sudivided it into solids and prints--one suitcase each, to take it upstairs to try to find places for it in my sewing room. They know I do a lot of charity quilts and I was thankful. Of course, included in that was some I bought on ebay and had send to them or bought here and had a couple of ladies send them fabric to bring to me.

It was better than Christmas!
