Look what I found on the way home from work.

I stopped by Michael's and they had these FQ bundles on clearance for $1 each!!

Of course I had to buy all that they had :thumbup:


What do you think I should make?

I'd love to try a bargello.....well, Im just not ready for that!

Great find!!!

What a great find...how can they sell them at that price and still make a profit? Makes you wonder what the markup on fabric is?

If clearance, then they weren't worried about profit any longer. Probably discontinuing carrying fabric. Nice find!!

wow! our Michael's doesn't carry fabric - lucky you! How about a "rainbow" quilt?

Those FQ's would make a perfect Bargello!

Great find. I can't think of what you can do with it right now, but I am sure it will come to you.

Congratulations, on your great find.

that was you who bought them all. shame on you. kidding. great haul!!

Great deal! I bought several of these bundles (greens. blues, purples and pinks) from Michael's this summer for $3.50 each (i.e. 50% off from original price) and thought I was doing really well then. You really did "score" at $1 per bundle!!!

whe

That's awesome! Our Michaels doesn't carry fabric either and very few quilt supplies at all.

You did goooood! I got several of those at JoAnn's and they were $6.99. Of course, I had coupons but they still weren't a dollar.

What beautiful colors!! I haven't made a bargello (yet) hee hee but I've heard they aren't as hard as they look.
Whatever you do be sure to post pics!
What a bargain!!!!!!! :D

Great deal! Congratulations!

Our Michael's doesn't sell fabric and our local Joann's is redoing their store, so they have very little out right now. What they do have out, you can't find! I was in the store yesterday for more than an hour and was so disgusted that I left with a total of $15.00 worth of fabric.

Wow that's great but this was all you got? I would have bought all they had. Lol

Wow... I am running to Michaels tomorrow! I bought these at JoAnns and thought I did good getting them for about $3.00 a bundle.

You did great! I found the same deal at Michael's last month and I bought all they had as well - 23 bundles at $1 each.
Our Michael's was getting rid of fabrics (they only carried FQ's anyway). The strange part was that their single FQ's were not on sale. Didn't make sense to pay $1.50 for a single when a whole bundle was only a buck. But who am I to question? I just bought all the bundles and left the singles. When I came home and showed my friend she said she was going to go to another store the next day. But she was told that store was not participating in the sale. Strange... I thought I would save them for something special but finally decided to cut a few to use for the Downey quilt pattern to make a quilt for my brother's first grandchild. I'll post a photo as soon as I get it finished. Good deal for everyone who was able to get in on it.

I will have to check out our Michels

WOW! guess where Im going tommrow!

wow, great deal

Good find I love the colors and of course lucky you.

eunice :-)

Congrats, they are really nice!

You are blessed. I can only dream about finds like that.

Our store doesn't carry them. They are great colors. I can see why you bought them all.

Awesome, enjoy looking at them for now, soon you will know how to use them.

WOW what a steal! I love them. Nearest Michael's is 200 mi away and I ain't going.

OMG!!!! I wish I could find a score like that!!!

Lucky you. Some of the fun will be to look through your books and magazines for the perfect pattern!

What a find! Our Michaels does not have material either. I've never made a Bargello, but the colors look to me like "Baargeeeellllloooo"!

A jewelbox quilt or bargello or ??? What a great score...WOW! you could also use them as blenders with primary colours, an applique...sooo many options. Congratulations on your score... You were in the right place at the right time!

Beautiful fabric, what about a french braid quilt. I did one in rainbow stripes for my DD, now I just need to finish it :oops:

I know where I work, they don't make a profit and many times take a loss. It is what they call a loss leader to get customers into the store. Or, they find it more economical to take a loss than to continue to sell one or two at a profit and store the rest.

hehehe I did buy all they had =)

Log cabin?

What about this pattern:

It looks a little easier than those very cool twisty but complicated bargellos!

That's what keeps me broke all the time--buying all they have at a great price. It's an addiction!!!

Wow! Think I better go check out my Micheal's store to see if they have the same deal! And you can do a bargello - it is not as hard as it looks. My very first quilt was a bargello flag wall hanging in country fabrics. It is beautiful to behold - well, to me anyway!

Great 'score'.
Most Michael's do not carry fabric in the sense that it is on the bolt or folded. They do occasionaly carry these FQ's in a small amount.
I have used theses little gems in a PP Pineapple design and the blocks turned out lovely.

Lucky Lucky You!!!

I went right past Michaels or 2 yesterday, I guess I should have stopped and browsed, none in our town

Great find
