spent part of monday indoctrinating some of the quilty faithful in the delights of marden's fabric prices and eureka! they were also having a sale! that's right, several bolts had been pulled and set aside as clearance, priced at 1.99 per yard! is that great or what! i myself happened to find these little plaids for an upcoming quilt, a lot easier than pulling buttons off a shirt and cheaper too, given thrift store prices in our area. and of course, the cheddar...i couldn't pass that up. after i got home, i wished i had bought the rest of the bolt as there wasn't THAT much and one can never have too much cheddar! i also bought another piece for a swap that i can't show, but for less than $10 i got 3 yards of fabric....sorry LQS, just can't pass that up. **** still quilting away on the lovers' links now that my quilty callouses are at their peak. maybe today i'll get the binding ready as i will need it soon.Tuesday, September 27, 2011

I'm not familiar with the name Marden's. Is it a chain store? What ever it is, you scored big time!!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! I love Mardens! I've been going to the Rumford store for some time now, because they have had the 1.99 shelves for a while now! I just can't pass that up! Yay for living in Maine where we can still afford to buy fabric! :o)
ReplyDeleteNice find, still haven't gone to Scarborough Marden's yet! I haven't even been to the local one in quite some time......heck I could go shopping in my own sewing room, but my motto is that you can never have too much fabric especially at sale prices!
