I usually don't buy online or order things - I prefer the thrill of the physical hunt! I always seem to find amazing bargains at consignment, thrift or second hand stores and I almost always find fabrics at yard/estate sales. It's amazing how many people buy and buy and never get to use all they've purchased. When they sell or (sadly) pass on, their things are open game for bargain hunters like myself!

Love to get quilting packages, Just received one from "soft expressions" it included Marti Michell's The Perfect Patchwork System templates, book, Sis is for Hexagons plus The book and Templates for the Giant Dahlia. Can't wait till I can get started on the new projects.

About once a month I'm getting a package from Connecting Threads. HATE paying postage so it's important to spend that $50 (at least). This is how my stash is getting so out of hand. Also HATE paying $12.00+ a yard for fabric so if I can get about 3 yards for the same price. Like to think of it as being thrifty versus an obsession. Or is it rationalization versus denial. Regardless, it's fun and makes my whole month.

It's either feast or famine. Right now it's feast. I'm waiting on three packages. One is from Keepsake with two patterns. A sock monkey baby quilt, and soft book pattern because I'm going to be a grandma for the first time.

DH would say too often! lol. I went to Missouri Star Quilting Co.'s grand opening of their new store yesterday. Had a great time and did some damage to my bank account---though not nearly as much as I could have done. LOL
