Thursday
(5/9) was another early morning…Pat walked down to my house at 7:45 and we took
off to pick up Nancy (at home) and Mary B (at the church) and to attend the
Spring’s Spring Sale. WOW – I can NOT
believe the prices. They had kits with 2
pieces of polar fleece…coordinated to make those no sew blankets. So the pieces were each 72 inches by 60
inches….so basically 4 yards of polar fleece for a grand total of
$2.50!!!!!!! That’s 62 and a half cents
a YARD!!! Other cotton fabric was a
buck fifty a yard! I got several of the
polar fleece kits and a bit of Christmas fabric. I have never been to this sale and neither
had Nancy or Pat, so we finally decided to go this year…..I’m glad I went, but
I’m sure it will be a couple of years before I go again. It is just too easy to buy stuff there J.
We stopped in at quilting on the way home and I got scraps from several
people. A very dear neighbor of mine has
been diagnosed with breast cancer and I have decided to make her a ‘signature’
quilt, as I did for Jimmy. She seems to like
fall colors and I don’t use many of those.
I asked my quilt group if they had any scraps I could use, to please
bring them. When I got home, I started
to work on ironing, washing and cutting them out. Jan stopped by with Rachel for a
consult. Rachel wants to make 2 purses
and they stopped by to talk about interfacing.
I worked on cutting until after dinner, then Michael and I just sat and
watched TV…I was just too tired to do anything else.
