Hay you******thats Johns line lol
Nice finds. Do they have a remnant bin in your store? I always check that first in Joann's. They are the end of bolts usually 1 yard or less. Lately others have discovered this goodie and I have not found much there. When I come home , I serge the edges and throw the fabric in the wash. then it is ready for whatever! Looks as if you are going to make more towel holders. I call them rabbit ears. Kay

Congratulations on all these wonderful pieces of fabric and ribbons Carolyn. You did really well in the limited amount of time - I agree with the others, what would you have been able to do with more time!!!!!!! I am a sucker for any Christmas fabric. You did well! Love Chris

i know just what you mean lol hugs
First of all, I hope that all goes well with your husband! Wow! you picked out an amazing stash in 5 minutes. I am one who takes forever picking out fabric. In fact, I sometimes leave with fabric for an entirely different project than I went shopping for ;-) Looking forward to seeing your quilt!

I am in awe of your shopping skills and humbly bow to you :-) I can shop with the best, but not with the queen. You have made some amazing purchases and now I want to run out to my Fabriclands (we have 2 in the city) and see what damage I can do...

i only got 2 big squares done i am running the roads to much hugs
That's a major accomplishment for only 5 minutes. Our local JoAnn store would not be able to get that many items run through the register in that amount of time.
