This afternoon, I took my two gift certificates and $20 ($80), and my two coupons and went to TSWLTH, and I done good!!!!!!!!!!
I bought:
Amish Wall Quilts by Rachel Pellman ( used one coupon)
12 - 1 yard pieces of solids
2 yards of a bright purple for a background/borders
4 print 1/4 yards
2 C&C big spools of thread and, .................the most beautiful Gingher scissors - the ones with the purple flowered handles - $39.95, BUT, I used the second coupon for them. These I will have to hide from the family so they don't get used to cut paper. It all came to a grand total of: $79.62, so it was really close!
That's it for shopping now until I live in my new house, on land that we'll pay cash for (have to save, save, save and tightwad like crazy), and a new house built a little at a time as we have the cash to do it. I've never built anything before, but carpentry can't be a heck of a lot different than quilting! My husband can do everything: electrical, plumbing, carpentry, etc. And............I'll have a sewing room! I really prefer a room off the kitchen, so that I can sew inbetween stirring stuff, etc.
So. It's time to use all that stash! No raiders, please! : )
I really want to make some Amish wallhangings because it'll keep my mind focused on buying the land, because the area we've been looking at is smack dab in the middle of an Amish community. Does anyone have Amish for neighbors? How are they? Are they friendly if you are a neighbor and don't do anything offensive to them?
