Nope, 100 mile round trip. I was there a couple of weeks ago and the light fabric I wanted was so thin that I could see the pink of my fingers through it. 1/2 off of something not nice does not make it better, just appropriately priced.

My friend and I went today - complete with lists!!! There were only two girls working (poor things) and the place was pretty busy.

We were pretty laid back and easygoing - but there were a few people who just couldn't understand that these two girls were trying their best to wait on everyone and be everywhere all at once.

The good news - I got everything on my list, plus some extra - and still walked out with a little extra cash!

ROFLMAO - hubby's gone out 'just looking at new trucks' and has come home with a new one -
on 2 separate occasions!

Going to Joann's tomorrow - maybe I should just tell him -
"I'm going to look" :)

I went this morning. I got a total of 12 yards for about 40.00!

LOVE IT!

All the quilting notions (not Fons and Porter), and scissors/rotary cutters are on sale at 50% off. And McCalls patterns are 0.99 each.

I wish I had remembered to look at the June Taylor Shape Cut rulers :cry:

I saw a huge one (shape cut ruler) today while I was at JoAnns. It was hanging on a rack with some rotary cutters underneath of a sign that said "50% off". There was no price posted so I asked the price -- $47.++ but it wasn't on sale! Of course I had a 50% off coupon but it doesn't start until the 17th. How much you wanna bet when I go back they won't have any...
