The sale was good, all fabric $5/yd with a decent selection. I bought ALL batiks. :D Loads of quilt books, but I thought they were high @ $5 & $10, but I did manage to talk them down to $2.50 on one I wanted :thumbup: Loads of quilt magazines, which I totally skipped over....I have another box ready to bring to our next get together :roll:
Well Little E sounds like he is a healthy baby and good size even though he was early!

I'm glad the sale was good and you were able to pick up more batiks! Its good you can add to your selection. No featherweights or other sewing things? What about Cindy did you get any bargins or anything exciting?

Well Little E sure was a good size for being early! Glad to hear you were able to pick up some more batiks! Always a good thing to keep your selection up.

I have a grandson due before the end of September and I cannot wait to meet him.

Congratulations Laurie! Does that mean you can come over Saturday September 3rd?
