So I checked out that lady's sale...oh my word, she had SO MUCH STUFF. Bins and bins of fabrics, magazines, kits, patterns, books...it was like sweet deal quilter's heaven. I made myself stick to a budget, and only allowed myself to bring $60 to spend...and all told, I got tons of batting, at least 18m of fabric (much of that in FQ's with a few 1-3m pieces thrown in there too), and a stack of magazines for my $60! I easily could have spent that 60 on just one of those pieces of batting in my LQS! CRAZY! She's going to keep on selling through the weekend and most of next week...I think I might have to go back!!!

WOW!!! You did GREAT :D:D:D

:thumbup: :D :D :D

Great job. I would of been hard pressed to stick to a budget. Congratulations. ....Did you pee your pants?

LOL No...I did not pee my pants, thankfully. But I was almost excited enough for it.

I was only able to stick to my budget by only bringing that much cash and leaving my plastic at home. HAHAHAHAHA

But I think I will go back though...which sort of defeats the purpose, I guess...but man, it's hard to resist.

Go deema! You really got some nice things for your money. I admire that you set a budget and stuck with it. Nice haul!

Great job!

Enjoy!

:mrgreen: Nice haul :thumbup: I would have had a hard time picking out what I wanted and sticking with it :roll: LOL

Fabulous haul ...........well done !

Have fun.. Wow I envy you... I would go back and buy it all, glad you stuck to your budget... :)

WOW! You did Great!!! It would be hard to stick to a budget with that many goodies. Proud that you handled that. I hope you get to go back if you are wanting to. Maybe ask her if you get a discount since you are a return visitor? LOL Can't hurt.

YEAH! I love it when you can find good deals like that! You will have fun playing with your new treasures this weekend!

Wow! I would probably have spent half-a-year's budget at that sale! You did GREAT!

What fun! Looks like you did well. She will really want to deal as she gets toward the end of the day. That's when you can really make a deal. The "I'll give you X for everything that is left"...kind of deal. That is IF someone else has not already made her that offer.

Woweeeeeee.... You go girl! I think I would have bought it all.... But I'm proud of you for sticking to your budget.
Good for you. Now you can go have fun in your sewing room and sort through it, Thats the BEST part.

You did really well!!!!! What town do you live in Ont? Did you find her ad on Kijiji or Craig's?

I keep looking at the ads in my area but nothing that I can use.

Good Luck if yu go again tomorrow!! :)

Good for you! I think I would go back, but then they see me coming! I am a sucker for good fabric at an affordable price. I went to a LQS "friends sale" where people had tables set up and lots of goodies. I overspent, but I really did behave myself. I bought some stuff for my quilting ladies at church, and a pieced top that I will use for a baby quilt that I need really soon! I did enjoy myself, but I am glad I left when I did. There was a FW there for $250.00. I asked, but I am not in the market for another FW.

What beautiful fabric! GREAT for you!

O my I wish I could ever find deals like that , you made a good haul.Congrats on your find :D :D :thumbup:

I totally understand the peeing your pants syndrome!!! It's soooooooooo exciting to find great bargains.

Wow, you behaved better than I would have.

Fantastic!!!!! And no puddles or wet pants either!!!!! :thumbup:

LOL!!!! Patty, you made me laugh at your comment about puddles! It's been raining here all day so no one would notice if it was here!

Looks like fun times ahead for you!!

Wow, what a great find. I would want to go back too. Have fun with your new fabric.

Lucky you!

You really did do good But Please no more Peeing in Your Pants. Things might get alittle droopy :-D :oops: :D

:thumbup: :thumbup:

Wow! Such a great "haul"! Congrats!

You go girl.... :thumbup: And that applies for heading back too. :D

Wow great find.....how did you keep from screaming....lol

Oh, lucky you! Thats a great haul so far....I'd be going back since I have no self control.:wink:

So, did you go back?

well done :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Nice haul!! I definitely would be going back

You hit the mother lode.

How wonderful. Wish I could find a good deal like that.

Suddenly, I wish I were Canadian... :D

Not yet...the soonest that I am able to is Wednesday, so I'm going to give her a call on Wed morning and see if she still has anything left, she's selling until Thursday, but quilting isn't very big around here, so I won't be surprised if she still has quite a bit (seriously, she had TONS of stuff). I'll see what she has left, and maybe make an offer on everything.
