I went to JoAnn's yesterday for the sale. They had some good clearances too!!!! They even have 50% off on some flowers. I got some nice fall colored pip berries.

karen there are always new people who join the swaps so your fabrics will be new to someone. i always try to cut at least half new fabrics for each swap. i'm trying not to accumulate a whole new stack of something else so repeat swappers will get some repeats from me. i have made a promise to myself not to purchase anymore new fabrics (just for the sake of purchasing) until i start sewing through some of the stuff i have.
also i do a lot of remnant purchasing up to half yards but a lot of quarter yards for the swaps. it's less expensive that way and after cutting the stamp strips i cut the rest in 2.5" strips so very little waste for me. i haven't reached the end of my fabrics yet. i have some amy butlers and a coupla michael millers that i cannot bear to cut into yet. maybe next time.

I always hit the clearance section at JAnn's. Sometimes I find fq's there for like .79 and up. But not the full price of $1.99 I'm always up for a good bargain! |
Not long now until we get some new postage stamps to work with. I can't hardly wait.

k Ladies, need some help here
For the ladies that use the little jewelry bags - how in the world do you get the squares in the bag? I have to fold them and have a hard time straightening them out. Do you leave them folded in the bag? |
you probably got the really small bags. you will want to straighten them as much as possible as it will help with shipping them.

I use the lil ziploc snack bags, so that I have room to add a label to it as well.
