Did you ever have one of those super shopping days where you get a perfect parking space right of the bat? Everything that you want you find on sale for HALF PRICE & then you find more of what you know you will need & the sale price knocks your socks off? Well I had one of those amazing days today & I know Friday the 13th for the superstition people is supposed to be a bad luck day ( I am not into that & today is a great example of that) We went to the fabric store about an hour from here traffic was minimal which was great & the weather was perfect if not too cold Got the first parking spot @ every store Hubs was really surprised & quite happy too. Then all the fabric for all my upcoming projects were all ON SALE FOR 50% OFF WHEW HEW. I rarely shop @ this store because it is so pricey but today was the best exception....Aprons Pillow cases & Embroidery bases. This fabric was on sale then another 50% off of the lowest price & I got one cotton fabric here for just over $1 a meter! Then it gets even better we went off to another retail center & hubs noticed right off a sale on onesies regular price $5.99 on sale for....... can you believe the price of these! & right next to them were cotton sleepers reg $7.99 all on sale for ....................99 cents . What a great shopping day!

Lucky, lucky you, couldn't have happened to a nicer person. You deserve it all the lovely projects you do. Jo

thanks so much, ~hugs~

Something I would like to point out............. this is all very good quality cotton it can be intimidating to cut up for fear of wrecking it. I have learned that leaving it to sit is no better so if I am really concerned whatever I want to make out of this fabric I can do a practice run with muslin. It is a less costly adventure if I fail.......... but I WILL TRY! This fabric will not sit for fear of cutting it. Life is short ladies we all know this so wear that special dress & cut the lovely fabric while you can. You may not get the chance if you don't............~hugs & A bouquet to each of you~

Congratulation you hit the jackpot!! Well the 13th wasn't unlucky for you..

lol that is true

Love it!!! I have the fabric in #1 and #2 photos of the beach ladies fruit butts. It is a hoot! I have not been able to find a project perfect for it's use. I thought about a beach tote bag. Please let me know what you do with it. Kay

well my plan for that is an apron with a large deep pocket in the front that has an elastic carrying pocket with fruit & vegetables sewn on the front gathering the fabric so it is rather like a kangaroo pouch. My daughter has asked me to make one for her to carry the summer vegetables into the house instead of using a bowl & going back & forth. That's my plan what do you think? good idea. I bought the one fabric that looks a bit like chicken wire & thought that would be a great pocket to embroider on?

by katydid 14 Feb 2015

Love it . Be sure to post finished project! I will admit that we had a weakness for the same fabric. Kay

Wish I would have one of those kind of shopping days. You were having one lucky day on a bad luck day.

I have that fabric, also. They each have fruit butts. Pineapple ,pear, apple. peach,fig,etc. I bought it on site and now do not what to use it for. Kay

by pldc 14 Feb 2015

when I first saw this fabric awhile back I loved it! I have a pattern to make a bag done with it too. I never picked any of it up because it was very pricey. When I saw this & the price I was thrilled I bought 3 meters for less then the original price of one! Whew hew!

Wow, looks like all of your stars were in alignment today....a great day...new meaning to Friday the 13th...super...

Oh gosh no I have decided that they will be pillow cases 2cd photo top 5 fabrics Then the left side summer fun with fruit bottom girls for aprons that I have had a request for. The beige on the bottom right will be so I can embroider fruits & vegetables & then attach to aprons to carry veggies in from the garden. Very excited to get started with such great deals too.

by katydid 14 Feb 2015

You gave me a clue on the fruit bottom girls. Aprons. I could see that. Kay

wow i wish i could find some specials like that....soozie

I can't tell you the last time I had this much success shopping. I am thrilled to bits that I did so well & I do a lot of baby things so the onesies you just can't go wrong @ that price

What a collection of bargains. Now enjoy yourself embroidering on all of it
