Got me some good bargains at Joanns today, or at least I think so. :lol:
I've never bought a bolt of muslin before but it was on sale for 19.99 so thought I'd give it a try. |
Hi Pam -- I got the bolt of muslin today also!! The muslin ends up costing about $1.67/yd. buying it this way. I've never bought a whole bolt either so will see how this goes!!
On clearance they had some Fons & Porter Storage Boxes (printed cardboard) -- a set which had one box big enough to hold 12" blocks and a box to hold fat quarters at $3.97. Really cute and couldn't resist. And I hope your trip wasn't as frustrating as mine...love the store hate the service..... :-) :( |
Congrats! I love muslin.
|

I have purchased bolts of muslin from Joann'sbefore and am always thankful to have it - I LOVE the way muslin looks on the back of quilts. One can see the quilting so well on muslin. I think it makes the back of the quilt as beautiful as the front.
|
Great Deals!!! Love the fabric and pattern too :D :D :D
|
All the halloween fabric was on sale. And the Chiefs fabric is for pillow cases for my SIL as a Christmas gift. Now i need to find some Denver Bronco fabric for my other SIL
|
Looks like you had a good trip :lol: One question about the muslin. When you use it for backing do you wah it before you attach to the back ? Also I have heard of different thread counts on the muslin, but never seen it on the label. How do you know if its a good muslin ? Thanks for your help !
Can't wait to see your projects finished ! Sharon |
I don't wash fabric before --I like the feel of the finished quilt after the first washing.
There was a package that was opened so i felt the muslin and it felt good enough so I thought I'd take a chance. |
Good for you!! I use muslin on the back of all of my quilts! I love the way it quilts and feels!
|
I will probably wash my muslin before use -- at least the first time as I don't know how much it will shrink. It does "feel" nice but who knows?
|

|
I bought some quilters show case fabrics reg 4 to 7 dollars, now b1.99. a good buy nice fabric :D I'll have to check the muslin :D
|
Pam, by chance are you a Chiefs fan? I'm orginally from KC and remember "red Fridays" Do they still do that there?
|
I bought a bolt today also. I might go back for another one before the sale ends.

I live north of Kansas City and yes Red Friday is still a big thing around here. |
