I love this thread - it's saving me a ton of money! I am just living vicariously through you guys. It's almost as good as getting all the beautiful fabric and useful notions myself.

This board makes me spend more money. I want what the person before just bought.

Oh you ladies are giving me the giggles...I went to walmart for a light bulb....ya well you can't go to walmart w/o at least checking the fabric...Ok almost 20.00 later can home w/ 4 1/2 yards of creamy beige fabric [1.50 a yd] for curtains for my daughters office, several fat 1/4's , 2 yds of lil boy fabric [1.50 a yd], fusible web, a yd of more debbie mumm fabric to make a sewing machine cover. A bottle of Quilter Choice a 6 x6 template-everything I bought was on sale-thats how I justify spending, he he.
A order from keepsakes on its way and a book on weekend scrap quilts from white birchs...shhhh no body breathe a word of this to my other half.
Now to get in that sewing rm and work on at least project before work this afternoon.

What's a "Bottle of Quilters Choice"? I might need some too.

OK, I confess - that happens sometimes too. I can't always be good!

Wow I'm definitely proving I can spend.

Here are the geisha panel fabrics that I have gotten so far.

Then I got a white backing for my current project and the first geisha and the batting for both. I bought at Fabric.com and I got the shipping free. i loved that part.

Last Sat I bought a 15" square ruler on sale. I also bought a quilt magazine. Looked thru it when I got home.......there were pages missing!!!

Its a basting glue, I have never tried it before but i am willing to try anything at least once.

Went to Quilt Expo yesterday and saw all kinds of new goodies. Bought a Martelli Rotary Cutter and pack of blades, Grab-a-Roos, Famore tweezers, and beige, yellow, and red tailor's chalk. Best of all, all the great ideas didn't cost a dime!
