The Day After The Day After
So, the local fabric store has a day after the day after Thanksgiving sale which I decided was a must attend as ALL fabric was 40% off. Yes, that said 40%!!! The store was a bit of a mob as one might imagine but they said that it had been even worse this morning with no parking places and total and complete chaos so I was thankful for the mob! It was a little awkward carrying around large bolts of fabric in a packed store so I ended up making several trips to the cutting counter which paid off as I did not break anything or anyone.
I am really excited about the finds from the day. There was definitely more to have but I did need to use at least some form of self control!!! I was able to find two bolts of cute Japanese fabric which I was really excited about and I love the new line from Wendy Slotboom (Feathered Friends). The rest of the finds were a bit random but go with some other fabrics in the stash and hope to one day become fun little pillow cases for the kiddos, gifts, pj’s etc. It was definitely a lot of fun and I will look forward to it again next year as well!

What great picks!
I can’t wait to see what you make.

I got those japanese ones too! Couldn’t pass that up at all! I LOVE the birds, the girl behind me had those and if I hadn’t already exceeded my budget I would have bought those for sure! Sorry I missed you…
