Just got back from vacation, stopped at Hancocks in Paducah and Eleanor Burns store on the way home. Also, Harbor Freight and others.I must stay out of the shops for few months, this is becoming too addictive!

just because I was there

Wow!!! Good haul. Do you really think this will keep you from buying more? Lol

Sadiemae 09-09-2010 04:25 PM

Lucky you! Glad you had fun shopping!

good trip, good haul. Just think all the pretties you'll make with your goodies.

Super! How fun that must have been! Did you find any blades at Harbor Freight?

MamaBear61 09-09-2010 04:46 PM

Nice stuff!!!!!

NO blades at Harbor Freight, they said they had them when I called, but they didn't! I was dissappointed, but I still have an order online and a raincheck in a store near by! Sooner or later I will get some!

Yes, it was fun. Somehow when you spend that much, it doesn't look like it when you get home!

Jingle 09-09-2010 06:45 PM

Good haul and very nice selections. Enjoy.

Yup....you're addicted HaHa

I just love those reds!

athenagwis 09-10-2010 04:48 AM

Woah!! Great finds! :) I have been avoiding the stores like the plague since I am on a spending freeze, but the fabric still calls to me!

You are a smart shopper. I noticed that you bought a goodly amount of very light fabrics. Like most quilters, I have mostly medium and not enough very dark or very light fabrics in my stash.

Great stuff

Debo 09-10-2010 12:34 PM

Looks like you had a wonderful time. Spending money is always so much fun!

RDM 09-10-2010 12:47 PM

Great purchases. My viewpoint: if mama's happy, everyone's happy so your fabric passion is good for all. Plus you'll have fun making all those quilts with your new fabrics and the recipients will be blessed.

I have to stay out of the stores after this week! So today, I was minding my own business and I was looking for a quilt rack for my family room, found that and 3 1/2 yards of Marine Corp material in the same store, a furniture store! I have been wanting to make my hubby a Marine Corp quilt and already had some material for that, but this was to good to pass up, maybe use it for the backing perhaps. So addicting, good thing I go back to work next week!

Hi Rachael,
If you firgue out how to maintain that spending freeze, please share! Nearest I can firgue out, I can't afford to retire, I would spend all my time and money in these fabric stores! It is so addicting, now I got to get busy and actually make something! I firgue there will be some Christmas gifts in here somewhere :)

Looks like you had a wonderful trip, at least at the quilt stores.

Come on, give us an honest answer ! ha ha ha

I admit I am weak when it comes to fabric,but so far I have stayed out of the fabric stores this week. Joann's and Hancocks have some great coupons and sales that is calling my name!!! Well after all, I do need to stop and get some thread, I might take a quick peek around while I am there :)

Only a quilter knows how expensive those cute little piles are. Be careful out there! ha ha
