I seem to go to Mary Jo's with a theme in mind. LOOking for a special piece. Then it is the batiks, now, and then I have to go row by row, 39,000 ft, so it does take me all day LOL. Since I dont get there too often, I do try to make a list of what I am short of in my stash. right now I need to get there and stock up on some blues.

Left to right look at every bolt there is ---- I skip the sale section and go back to it last.

That's me as well! I have to see the whole store or I am not happy. It's always fabrics first, then maybe notions. Usually by the time I have gone through the shop, I have already spent so much on fabric that I MUST HAVE, it's all I can get. I LOVE FABRIC. I do not have plans for any of it usually but I always get the coordinating fabrics and some almost solids to go with it so that if I live long enough, I might make something out of it. I CAN'T live long enough. Someone on this site mentioned SABLE...STASH ABOVE AND BEYOND LIFE EXPECTATION>>>I have more fabric than some local stores! I have just had my L shaped downstairs resheet-rocked, repainted, remoldinged...how's that for a new word?...and the couch is on order and I am going for flooring today...and sooooooooooooon, it will be the newly decorated loungeroom, playroom, sewing room.ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...new windows...........new lighting. I am in heaven already just knowing I will soon be resorting my fabrics and notions, be setting up the tables...........and will be spending time there with the windows and sliding doors opened to receive the light and fresh air. WOW! Am I blessed or what? I have to find out how to post pix of it so I can let you enjoy it with me. Can I get help with how to post pictures, Please???? Thanks...........

best wishes on your next checkup....I too go every 6 mos, Hope u do well!

Great....sounds like heavenly. Hope someone can show ya how to post pic but meanwhile have fun with new room :D

I go by color. what grabs my eye or what color I want.

I didn't mention that I usually have to repeat my wanderings atleast twice, as I always miss something the first go round LOL

That's me too!!

Ditter

I head straight for the sale corner! You never know, you may find the perfect fabric on 50% off!

First, I have to check out the new fabric groups & displays (dream & drool) ... then it's on to the new books, patterns, notions and then to the sale corner !
THEN I check my to-get list (hopefully I remembered to bring it !) and actually shop for what I came in for ...
LOL don't we ALL have the same M.O. ?? :) :)

I start with my needed item(s), because I have gotten out too many times without them! :lol: Then I allow myself the luxury of looking...
