Sounds like you are a quilter to me! I spent $179. at Joann's on Sunday. I went because I had a 60% off one regular priced item and I couldn't resist...I never found a thing that was regular price so I just took advantage of sales! Sigh...I think we are all the same!

You guys will like this. We were at our HS football game (last game of regular season, Go T Birds!!!!) last Wednesday night and I did something I don't normally do - I bought a 50/50 raffle ticket. And I WON!! $248!!!!
So I immediately donated $50 to the North Branford Cheer Club (DD is a cheerleader), then each family member got $25. And I got a haircut.
Then I went to Joanna's Saturday.
I BOUGHT 46 YARDS OF FABRIC. I got 3 yards each of 11 different colors and 13 yards of blizzard fleece to make no sew blankets for the 3 kids and one for myself.
I thought I was bad wandering around with all these bolts to be cut but apparently one woman came in and bought enough blizzard fleece to fill 12 large bags!!
And I can't fit any more fabric in my closets.
I think i am a hoarder!!!!! Or nuts.......

From one "stash builder" to another - CONGRATULATIONS. Isn't it great when you can win something, share it with others and still have time to shop for fabric? One thing for sure you are not nuts, and I'm envious of all that new fabric.
