Oh, oh, oh----I'm just drooling---and the sale prices---What a shame the store is closing (probably because they were too generous at sale time-LOL) I always tell my husband when I shop that I won't be back until I wear the numbers off of my credit card........but, melting one? hadn't thought of that.....enjoy, enjoy, enjoy

Almost every piece I bought I picked up the rest of the bolt. on 2 of the orientals, I got the whole shebang.

I badly want to go tomorrow. DH and I have not discussed how much I spent. He knows I want to go tomorrow. There are lots of fabrics calling my name, when I go back it will be to buy "normal" size pieces. 1 to 1.5 yards or 3 on a few that I really like. Problem is I plan on going to Road to California Quilt Show on the 16th and I always spend a couple hundred there. Don't know If I can go to Road and not spend money!!!
