All You Quilters Out There... Go Buy All The Fabric You Can

[AlaskGirl]

Several women and I (with a crazed, determined look in our eye) hit the bonanza last summer and each walked away with at least five totes of fabric from one garage sale. Apparently she was a former store owner 'cause I bought as much as five-yard increments. This post helps me stay inspired to use what I've got! I've stayed away from those rows of bolts at the store but it's not easy!!

Buy the fabric and stay home, less gas that way!

I know when I get my taxes I'm going to make my stash a lot bigger.

I don't know where I'll put it but I'll find a place.

Don't miss the estate sale at my place after I "cock up my toes"........I've got a hecka lotta fabric and yarn. I'm afraid that my ambitions far exceed my ability to actually start, let alone complete, projects.

. I should stop calling myself a quilter and admit that I'm really just a fabric collector.

I stock up on 50% off coupons from joanne's fabrics and build up my stash that way.... unfortunately gas here is right around 4.50 a gallon and its cheaper to sew than drive my 454 around!

I need to drive about 50 miles to get to a joanne's so I just go around here. One shop I go to has fabric reduced so I get that. It's mostly like now they have Christmas and winter on sale. I know I'm going to use that again some time and in the winter I get the summer fabric on sale. It works out that way for me. But If my friend says she's going to joanne's I'm right there with her. I'm not sure I even know how to get there. lol

unfortunately joannes is an easy walk from my house... quite dangerous to my debit card. I suppose that if I walked I would only be able to carry so much home with me!

Did they say why the cost of cotton went up so much?
