$2 bargain

it's true there is sufficient stash on hand for the immediate future and good thing, as the budget is uber-tight, especially as today's quilt shop prices are mostly out of reach for me.  so when i spied a plastic bag of christmas fabrics for a pittance on the guild swap table, couldn't let it go by.  some really pretty fabrics that'll add variety to my trees quilt plus morph into stockings, runners and wall quilts too.  this was the haul after washing/drying.


might be as much as 7-8 yards here.  a really pretty bundle for sure.  my thanks to whoever brought them in!  at my other guild meeting, one member has a home-based shop and she occasionally brings in fabrics to sell at bargain prices.   plenty of choices but only this little piece came home with me,


a nice christmasy neutral with green triangles and little pale red dots.  ***  while putting away some fabric this morning, pleased to discover that although the bookcase is full, most everything is in one place meaning i HAVE been using it up even though it doesn't always show.  even managed to tuck in the new christmas stuff as well...


hope you have time to sew today....

    You have made some nice finds at your guilds. I am not a local guild member, but when I have visited guilds to do presentations I haven't ever seen these swap tables I read about on blogs. Maybe the guilds in my area need to catch up with the times. I think they are a great idea!

    Score! And though I know you'd rather not be forced to be thrifty, you manage to find such good deals.
