    Default Big Score

    At our quilt retreat this weekend, I made a big Score. A lady came out with her left over fabric.from closing down her Fabric Store and I purchased 39 meters of fabric for $266.00. Considering that fabric in Canada is $20.00 a meter, I think I did extremely we..[ATTACH=CONFIG]619538[/ATTACH]

    Te one in the front with the lime green and big circles, I am going to make professional tote bags with them. Some are for backings and the rest I will use in quilts.

    I should say you scored big! For less than $7/meter, that was a lot of fabric. Have fun!

    Love the fabrics - lucky you!!!

    I have noticed for me, even receiving small leftover pieces of someone else’s project kinda gets me outta my box as i tend to gravitate more toward some colors if left to my own devices! Thats why my stash can leave a little to be desired at times (purple, purple, purple, blue, lilac, Christmas)!

    So on a cold winters day when i just want a small in/out project i grab a cup of coffee and hole up in my Happy Place for the day and just play! Im always amazed at what can go together if you dont force the issue!
    Well, yes - in my Happy Place zebra and purple and orange do too go together! 😊

    I’ll be thinking of you playing when the snow flies (if you get snow where you live - otherwise i will think of you when its snowing at my house)! Would love to see what you come up with!
