Well first and foremost I got to spend my extended lunch break with very sweet people. Ms. Dovie - owner of Quilting and Fabric Shop in Channelview, TX, Shirley (sak658) and to finally meet Joan (Jabear617) and a bonus her adorable niece & sister Judy! So much fun, unfortunately...I had to go back to work. Hopefully, we can do it again soon!!!

Anyway...I hope you're sitting down. I bought 50 yds of material. Yes, f-i-f-t-y. I know you probably think I'm insane..."maybe", but....

how often can you buy QS material for $1/yd...yes, $1.00!!!

I just couldn't wait to get home & fondle it. And here's hoping that I won't have to go shoping for my swaps :)

Now why would you think WE would think you are crazy for buying that much????? hee hee
Remember, we're all addicts!!
I love what you bought and am very jealous lol :D:D:D

That paisley in group 2 is to die for!!!!!!!!!

What a great way to spend your lunch time! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Who needs food anyway! LOL :lol: :lol: :lol:
Great fabrics! :thumbup:

Wow!!! How lucky are you. LQS would never sell fabric for $1.00 here in Australia. If I found quilt fabric for $1.00 I think I'd mortgage the house. You got some beautiful fabrics. Have fun.

PS Are you going to divulge the name of the shop?

Very nice... I love shopping for fabric, but when you can get it that cheap it's so much better!!

Good for you. No better way to spend lunch than with friends who help you build your stash.

heheheh...disclaimer in case my bf reads :)

I used restraint...I chose not to buy 4-5 of the fabrics available for this price AND...I only bought the $1/yd fabrics.

Last saturday I bought almost 30 yds because calico's were $2/yd and other stuff (which is EXTREMELY reasonable to begin with) was 1/2 off.

And there's still a few more that I want and hope I can get them while they're still on sale, but I have to spread it out a lil :)

I keep waiting for my other half to say...ummm so when are you going to make something with all that??? LOL.

i think for $1 per yard i would have been tempted to buy more. good day.

Rutrow...thought I did that in the original post *going back to edit now*

Quilting and Fabric Shop in Channelview, TX

You did good girl lots of eye candy!!

Very nice fabrics, lucky you.

It's almost worth the trip from Ohio!! lol :D:D

Congrats on your new treats!! Go back and get more! :)

Wow - that was a real power lunch!

Yes...even if it's not really you, you can't resist!

Btw...I LOVE the quilt in your avatar :)

ROAD TRIP!!!!!!

Who's with me?? :-P

Is it too expensive to ship? Sorry, don't know much about international stuff but would be willing to shop & ship if it would help :)

She's trying to move product out so she can bring new product in so she's got some great discounts going right now. I spent $100 last friday and got close to 30 yds... they're here:

It would definitely be worth the trip from The Woodlands. Did you leave any for me?!

I can be there in 35 minutes with no traffic!

Omg!!! What a deal! Good thing I'm not close to you at all or I'd be there first thing in the morning. :lol:

There was some when I left. But Jabear617 & her Sis were just starting to get theirs. There was probably 25-30 bolts at $1yd. I got some of almost all of them & they were pretty hefty bolts in most instances.

Calico's (which there was plenty of) were still $2/yd and everything else was still 1/2 off (originally prices before discount were about $2-3/yd cheaper than most LQS).

Don't know when she plans to end that (you might PM Shirley (sak658) but everything was included, marbles, batiks...GREAT deals. Well worth the trip!

I'm in Pasadena so that's not far at all.

great fun ahead looks like to me

nice shopping trip :)

Nope...just a few blocks in from I-10 & the Beltway! I'm in SW Houston...between meyerland & bellaire. Have you lived in Pasadena your whole life?

So jealous!! The fabric's are great!!

Thanks for posting the details.

Great deal :thumbup:
I'm sure you had a total blast and had a hard time keeping your mind on work after that :thumbup: :thumbup:

Wow, you did good, real good!!!!

Wow, you hit the jackpot. Beautiful fabrics.

Wow :shock: You got a GREAT DEAL at one dollar a yard!!! Enjoy your good fortune!

you go girl,we all love fabric here

OMG what a buy! I am sure you will find that way too much fabric and will offer some for sale to me!LOL

Nope....MINE!

But I can go get you, your own & ship it off :)

Girls, girls, girls, You can get 35 yds, in the large flat rate box and the shipping is $14.95.....The owner will take phone orders. pm me and I can give you more info....Thanks

Oh, what a great find. If I had the money to buy that much I would think I had died and gone to heaven.

You have fabric for some beautiful projects. Be sure to post when you make them.

Congrats on your find.

I love the chicken fabric and if you decide you don't let me know.

OMG you got some great fabrics and amazing price!

If I had the money & still worked outside my home, I'd be happy to have lunch with all of you & load my SUV up & haul it back to Alabama. Where do I buy Lotto Tickets???? LOL! I've never played Lotto & prob never will, so little chance of that happening.

Here in UK we can only dream of buying fabric at those prices!!!! Am I green with envy?? You bet!!!!
