Two hours of ME time!!

Crazy week!! Lots of responsibilites for me.. but I made it through. I did take about 2 hours this am to have a little ME time. I went to 2 quilt shops. Both were having great sales.

I got this little packet of Valentine fabric just for being one of the first 30 in the door!! WAHOO-gotta love free fabric.


This pattern was $1.00. I wanted to get it ready to stitch this afternoon, but it didn't happen--maybe Monday..


All of these patterns were $1.00, too. What a deal as most of them were $8.00-9.00 patterns.

This fabric was $2.50 a yard. Like I need MORE fabric--but a good deal is so hard to pass up. The little charm pack was a $1.00.
My quilt group went well on Wednesday, and I think everyone enjoyed working on the redwork towel. I bought some great prizes today to give away next month for those who finish their towel. Their name will go in a drawing. I was pretty nervous, but everyone was so nice and helpful. Yay!! One month down--11 to go!!
My nephew is getting married tomorrow, so we have a full day ahead. It is fun to be with family. I hope the day is beautiful and full of happy memories for them. Have a wonderful weekend.
Be Nice to People,
Julie

Great deals, Julie!

There was/is a quilt shop in town. I need to see where they moved to or if the closed for good. I should check it out! Silly me always thought Wal-Mart was good enough but I'm learning there is far better stuff out there :D

Have a great weekend!

I picked your blog randomly and came by for a visit. You have to love bargain crafts, it kind of takes the quilt of buying it totally away! I see that you live in Utah, my daughter just moved there to live and work at a ski resort in Alta. She is in love with your state! I have added you to my favorites and will come back and visit, i just started my empty nest blog and would love for you to stop by! Sue

She has actually lived out there 3 of the last 4 winters, but has decided to stay out there full time now and complete her degree. She said the snow has be excellant this winter! I just did a meme of me so when you have a minute check it out! Thanks, Sue

My, my, you sure do know how to shop! I really like the stitchery pattern ... any time you can squeeze a willow, a saltbox and the alphabet into one pattern ... its for me!

Your little quilt group is going to be delighted.

Smiles,
