    Wow, boy did you find a bargain! I don't go too often - I've found all those coupons don't do much good because so much is on sale, you can't use the 40-50% off.... I think they do that on purpose....

    We had 2 JoAnns close around here. I bought a bunch too. I got fabric for drapes in my spare bedroom for $5. It is a big window. Also when it was 90% off I bought one of every color of thread they had. Especially the machine embroidery thread. When the first one closed I had just gotten my embroidery machine. It is great because I often need just a little of a certain color. I have a whole drawer full of embroidery thread for very little cost. Have fun!

    When fabric shopping how do you determine how many yards to buy of each piece. Do you buy the same amount of each one of various amounts?

    It depends, if I'm shopping with a specific quilt in mind then I buy what I need for that. Or if I just really like it I buy all i can afford. If it's a great bargain, then I buy all that I can afford...Otherwise if I'm just buying to put in my stash, then I just buy a few yrd
