I may just have to start shopping on the net. After looking at all they have, it is soooooo tempting. Thanks for the info. And please share a photo when you get your package.

And none of the other employees said a bad word to me about pulling every scrap in the bin out to look at each one, creating a leave pile on the floor and a take pile in my lap until I got to the bottom of the bin and stuffed the leave pile back in the bin. I guess they keep a chipper attitude because they get to touch fabric all day ;-) and maybe quilters are easier to deal with than the general public? |
I love the high heel fabric, too cute. Great deal. Wish I had known about the quilt show. Went to Quiltfest in Pigeon Forge last weekend.

No I hadn't heard of this before.

This is the fabric I got from ordering the scrap bag. I ordered two and did get some repeat fabric. The doll at the top has another one on the other side if someone wants to make the dolls I will send them to you. Just pm me with your info and I will get them out to you.

Just what I need; more scraps! LOL. I have managed to locate 4 (yes 4) storage totes overflowing with scraps! It would be fun to see what others consider scraps though. My LQS sells scraps for .25 each. That is a rip off! If they would let you fill a zip bag as described in a prior post, it would be great. If I were to sell mine at that rate, I could probably finance a new car. (Hmm, I feel a yardsale approaching this Spring, whenever that decides to arrive.)
