Super Fabric Bargains, July

Wow, Pat. What a er, ummm, coup? If anybody can beat your High Order of the Black Belt shoppers, I'm eager to hear it. Good for you. Polly

I just purchased a 12 yard bolt of beautiful dark green mottled fabric on E-Bay for $21.95. Including shipping it cost me $29.34. That's $2.44 a yard. In case you are interested, here is the URL for this e-bay store. I have purchased from them in the past and I have to say that their fabric is good quality.

My bargain was on Chanukah fabric that I purchased in January this year. I noticed it at $8.00 yd. around holiday time. Since there was no way I would actually use it this year I watched and waited. I got 4 different designs for $1.00 yd each. I bought enough to make some table runners for gifts. I am now ready for this year!

Yippeee for bargains!

It's turning into a white elephant for me! The two quilts I have going right now are very dark, and the light border isn't right for them. Looks like I'm going to have to buy more light-colored Halloween fabric. *sigh* The sacrifices we make for our art. At least I saved tons of money on the border, so I can afford to get more fabric!

Hobby Lobby now has tables of fabrics for $1.00, $2.00, $3.00 and $5.00 (don't ask me what happens to the $4.00 fabric) The strange thing is that you will find a print for $1.00 at one store and for $3.00 at another. I stop at any Hobby Lobby that I happen to be passing. Have limited myself to the $1.00 and $2.00 tables. If it is good for a back I buy 8 to 10 yards.

With so much of the new fabrics >There have been numerous threads on quality of fabric vis a vis

Not if she reads this newsgroup!!!

I've been trying to get her to read this newsgroup for years, but she's too busy with her German groups and things. She has access to a real quilting group, for example, something which I lack. So no worries..

Woohoo! My LQ(and craft)S has a clearance wall, and after our "Quilt Party" meeting (2 hours of presenting new products, a quick demo, show and tell, door prizes, and an exchange block with some fabric and the pattern provided), the Dept. Head said, all clearance fabric on the wall is marked down to 50% off the last marked price!!!

How about paying $1.50 per yard for excellent name brand cotton fabric, THEN getting an extra 10% off the last of what was on the bolt!

I felt like I was in the '70's at this price. Sue B

let's just talk

My most recent find was at TSWLTH. They currently have a selection of anniversary fabrics priced at $1.79 per yard. I used a 50% off coupon to get a fabulous plum paisley that will be the backing fabric on my latest project. I think 7.5 yds were about $6.50. I was pretty happy! DeNise

June & July 2003.

My bargain wasn't fabric. I got a set of BH&G's American Patchwork & Quilting, issues #1-63, for $2 per issue plus postage. I do not subscribe to this one so only about 10 issues duplicate what I already have.
