Okay I hit a quilting store today and found some beautiful material and of course some fat quarters. I also found that this lady sells top of the line material that I usually pay $17.95 for when I buy a couple metres at a time, but sells it for $9.95 a metre.

I quilt using fat quarters, but if I find a particular piece of material I really like, I purchase it in metres and stash away for further use.

I purchased some and now I have another quilt all planned with only, get this 2 colors!!!! I can hardly wait to get started on it.

Now I need help - this store is only 20 minutes away and I want to go there again and again!!! Stop me before I do more damage to the already damaged budget (after today). Oh but I love getting material at that price!!!!!

LOL

Okay the only thing i can suggest is moving here to my town. where you have to drive 60 miles to get to the nearest fabric store. other than that i can't help yeah, sorry.

If you find the cure tell me. I have enough fabric for around 50+ quilts and I keep buying.

Some help you are ladies!! My quilting buddies and you can't help.

Heaven, I've driven a whole lot further than that to get material/fat quarters. Remember I live in a town of under 450 and there are no quilting stores!!!

I'm waiting for the goldish/cream material to come in and then I'll do a block and post it!! The piece of material I purchased (along with fat quarters also) is the most beautiful piece I've ever seen.

I was talking to the owner of the store and telling her how I can seem to break out of greens/burgundies and she showed me this piece of material. I was sold. So it will be interesting to see with only 2 colors and not 2 that I've ever used.

Well I tried Cj. If you moved here though the roads are so bad you can't get to the quilt store, so like me you wouldn't be able to shop

that is one way. I forgot to add that i can't get out of town right now to my first post.

STOP CJ!! If you don't you won't be able to do any scrapbooking, or other crafting. ..... help? Nah, not for me either! LOL Fabric just calls my name!

I can't wait to see the new material.
