Had intended to load a quilt, but now I'm tired. DIL came after our Olivia. We ate and played. Sent them home with all the leftovers. (DS was home sick.) Plus 5 quarts of home made veggie soup, 2 gallons of raspberries and 2 gallons of blueberries. Then I cleaned the kitchen and declutter Olivia's toys. Now I am going to finished the last couple of chapters of the book I've been reading.
Happy sewing to all of you.

I was planning on sewing on NYD, but things just didn't work out, for the better I might add! My DH & I go out for breakfast on Sat. mornings. I knew the LQS right around the corner from the place we eat was having a great end of bolt sale. I was the first one in the door when it opened, and grabbed every skinny bolt I liked. I ended up with almost 19 yards (best of my calculations) that averaged out to $2.75 @ including TAX! I was thrilled as I'm trying to stock up on everything I can afford before the prices go up.
On Friday, my other LQS said new fabric coming in was going to be around $12@. Whoa! No way, I never buy unless it is on sale at substantial discount.
So after we got home, I told hubby I was set pretty good except for batting. Well, with Joann's $5.49 @ sale on 90" Warm & Natural, hubby encouraged me to go ahead and stock up. (SHOCK!!!) I ordered a whole 40 yard roll at $5.49 @ and the got another 10% off that! Wahoo! We really couldn't afford it but hubby totally understands that we probably won't see that price for a LONG time, especially since I got 60% total off of batting. My hubby is a keeper! Now he says...we when are you going to start sewing again! Gotta love him!
So even tho I didn't get a single stitch sewn, it was a very productive day, LOL!

Fabric is going up. I'm buying all I can for my web site even though it won't be up and running until Feb 1. I try to keep my prices really low, but offer quilt shop quality. Hope you all will visit when its ready. lindaraestreasures.com.
