I just got home from Hobby Lobby. They had several bags in stock at $2.99 for 260. I got the the checkout counter, and the lady said, "I think these are on sale this week." And they were...50% off!

Counted them when I got home and there were exactly 26 of each number. The brand at Hobby Lobby is Bead Design Co.

Oh now I want some too! Now I'll have to make a special trip to Joannes. Thanks for sharing.

I cut old calenders. Use the numbers with pin. When I start the first row I sew a diagonal line across the top outside. when I am done I pull those threads out.save money for fabric. seems like everybody has oodles of calenders.

Very clever!

coastienest 06-16-2011 04:46 PM

I love them. What a great find

bgullett 06-16-2011 05:00 PM

I may have to copy that idea!

MamaBear ... if you find them here in the great white north, please let me know ... if a huge quantity, I'll split them with you, or will buy my own. thanks!

I did a little online searching this afternoon, but have not come up with them anywhere yet. I was wondering about Michael's but they weren't showing up on their website. I will keep you posted and send you a note if I find a source. Looks like there would be lots for us to share.

gzuslivz 06-16-2011 05:46 PM

THAT'S AMAZING!!!

misscarol 06-16-2011 05:47 PM

Man! What a great idea!!!

Charming 06-16-2011 05:50 PM

You are awesome. I love these a lot more than the quilting ones. I think manufactureres should start thinking of us as the cute quilters and that we need cute stuff not just expensive stuff. Thanks for the idea.

LivelyLady 06-16-2011 06:00 PM

That's a great idea! I'll have to hurry to my joanne's before others beat me to it.

GGinMcKinney 06-16-2011 06:01 PM

great idea

cwessel47 06-16-2011 06:09 PM

So sweet too. What a clever gal you are!

GreatStarter 06-16-2011 06:10 PM

Wonderful tip.
Thanks,
Kat

wvdek 06-16-2011 06:43 PM

What a great tip. I could also use these for my crocheting. Wish I was going with DH tom. He will be near the HB. Maybe hew will get them for me since they are on sale. Hmmm...

slk350 06-16-2011 07:07 PM

Great idea, I'll keep that in mind

quiltyfeelings 06-16-2011 07:14 PM

Ingenious!

I was thinking Michael's too and will check if I'm near one. Also, are there Lewiscraft stores still? Maybe good old Zellers? Dollar Store? ToysRus? Lens?
And I'll keep you in mind too, if I find any!

gzuslivz 06-16-2011 08:02 PM

Sad news:-( I just went to my local JoAnn's and they said they'd never seen them. I was very disappointed because I was going to buy some for me and some for several friends. I guess I'm going online to hunt for them.

QuiltnLady1 06-16-2011 08:04 PM

Great idea -- now if we can only find them.

BluegrassGurl 06-16-2011 08:07 PM

Now that is being resourceful! Great idea! Thanks for sharing.

gzuslivz 06-16-2011 08:19 PM

I found them online! Quilting-warehouse.com has them for $2.49 a package.

gzuslivz 06-16-2011 10:52 PM

Ordered some! I'm so excited:-)

Carron 06-17-2011 01:44 AM

justlooking 06-17-2011 02:44 AM

Good idea, I used paper and a pin! Not as pretty as yours!

Krystyna 06-17-2011 03:03 AM
