SABLE now that is a new one on me. Am I guilty? Of course.
|
Sounds like a great day! Thanks for the link. I will go check it out.
|
Sounds like you and your friend had a great day together and found some treasures along the travels. I got tired just reading your message!! LOL
|
On a trip, we saw a Ben Franklin Store & I couldn’t wait to get in there. Holy Smoke ! fabric was expensive !
|
Now that is what I call well worth the trip, what an awesome way to spend the day, and the inspiration is back and in full gear. Have fun.:thumbup:
|
I've never heard of a Ben Franklin, but it sounds like a really great and fun day.
|
What a wonderful way to spend the day with a good friend. Sounds like great finds!

As I understand it, they are individually franchised so the fabric selections are different at the different stores. But I have fond memories of one when I was a little girl...
I like the sound of that book and will check out the fabriccafe link. I have a folder of "five yard quilts" that I've drawn up/printed off the internet, it's worth a google for images. Most of my fabric is under 3 yards, but a piece will catch my attention so I'm always looking for good ideas. |
Oh....how I wish we still had a Ben Franklin, TG&Y, Alco, Woolco/Woolworth's, etc. My favorite places to go. They've been gone for years here! Count your lucky stars you still have one of these great stores. The only thing we now have carrying fabric is Joann's(which I pretty much despise), Hobby Lobby, and some Quilt Shops.

LOL will do DJ. QA Show at the Monroe Fairgrounds is done for this year, but I understand there is a show in Everett in a week or so... will let you know if I head up that way!
