I usually don't buy online or order things - I prefer the thrill of the physical hunt! I always seem to find amazing bargains at consignment, thrift or second hand stores and I almost always find fabrics at yard/estate sales. It's amazing how many people buy and buy and never get to use all they've purchased. When they sell or (sadly) pass on, their things are open game for bargain hunters like myself!

I love quilty packages in the mail! Got 1 yesterday with some patterns in it for a new baby quilt.

Love to get quilting packages, Just received one from "soft expressions" it included Marti Michell's The Perfect Patchwork System templates, book, Sis is for Hexagons plus The book and Templates for the Giant Dahlia. Can't wait till I can get started on the new projects.

I order online frequently too. Love getting those goodies. I agree, it's like Christmas every day

Also HATE paying $12.00+ a yard for fabric so if I can get about 3 yards for the same price. Like to think of it as being thrifty versus an obsession. Or is it rationalization versus denial. Regardless, it's fun and makes my whole month.

You & me both. CT has been whispering to me lately... I want those summer 2012 batiks & some of their dark muted solids in the worst way! But I was looking at my stash just from CT today & wow! I need to get cracking on making some quilts from all that fabulous stuff! And when they have their books 40% off? Look out! LOL!

It's either feast or famine. Right now it's feast. I'm waiting on three packages. One is from Keepsake with two patterns. A sock monkey baby quilt, and soft book pattern because I'm going to be a grandma for the first time.:):):):p

You and DH are a one-couple economy saver!

DH would say too often! lol. I went to Missouri Star Quilting Co.'s grand opening of their new store yesterday. Had a great time and did some damage to my bank account---though not nearly as much as I could have done. LOL
