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 :)

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?

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.
