If you've joined the stillborn bereavement group or are thinking about it, here's a great opportunity.
Tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day, Joann.com has the cozy flannel prints for $1.99 with a 2 yd minimum. There is a nice selection of appropriate patterns there. They also have a free shipping code on the website.
Just thought I'd share.
Everyone have a blessed Thanksgiving!

May go Saturday and use the 50% off to get something I want, but refuse to spend a single dime on anything tomorrow.
Friday they have all of it on sale for even less. Not sure if it's online too or not.
I'm not shopping tomorrow either! I even have all of the vehicles fueled up.
My family will not be doing any shopping tomorrow either.
I've been seeing on FB and it was on one of the national news channels about a Pizza Hut manager getting fired for refusing to open up tomorrow---that location is just an hour from here. The franchise that owns that location owns a lot of restaurants.
Amen to no shopping tomorrow...but if I'm not too tired when our company leaves I my spend a little time with my sewing machine. :)
I'm really sorry if I offended anyone...
I don't think you offended anyone, I think its principal.....
No one should have to work on thanksgiving and Christmas, and if we all refuse to shop those days, maybe stores will get it??? I remember when Kmart and walk att closed at 9 pm. 6 pm on Saturday and didn't open at all on Sunday. People need time to spend with their families, and there is honestly no reason for a store to be open 24/7.
I don't know if the Joann store is open or not. I'm not going to any store either. The initial post wasn't about an in-store special. It was a .com special.
Joanne stores are not open tomorrow.. this in only an online sale. just thought I'd mention that.
and it was really nice of you to share this.... someone will want to buy this fabric at a great price!
I certainly didn't mean for you to feel as if I was attacking you or your post! I'm truly sorry if you thought that!
I'm not going jump anybody for shopping anywhere, at anytime, especially online. Most of that is handled by electronics and is all qued up when they open again on Friday. At least in the ad flyer I was sent, it will be 50¢ less per yard on Friday.
I personally have done my shopping at some pretty weird times depending on the shift I was working. I am very thankful for the availability of at least some grocery stores being open 24 hours. It meant I didn't have to give up some of my scarce daytime off just to market.
As for being open on the big holidays, it doesn't seem quite fair. I am choosing not to shop tomorrow, especially in person. I'm tired of Christmas shopping commercials in mid-October and the crazy marketing that makes us think the best way to be happy is to have/buy more stuff. So, I am going to vote with my wallet, as thin as it is, and stay out.
If you need fabric, then by all means, go get it at the best price you can, AND the free shipping is a bonus.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have no plans to shop tomorrow unless by chance I have any energy to near a computer tomorrow night. I expect that I will be asleep before anyone else.
I don't like that some stores are open tomorrow but surely wish I could take part in those deals. I won't go because the crowd and I don't get along so well. I just don't like them.
Happy Thanksgiving!
The sale has already started...I just bought 15 yards for $30.00 and got free shipping..yay!!
The sale is online only, The stores are not open. I just bought 12 yards for quilts for the bereavement group for 20 bucks and free shipping.
There sure are some cute patterns available today online. I see no problem buying from them as the physical stores are closed. :)
Sadly my budget is shot but I still have several bolts of RK to work with.
Holy cannoli! That's a great sale!
But I'm most thankful for my little 'on-line' world of buddies!
A lot of you have embraced this project beyond my wildest expectation.
On a side note, I think this extension of 'Black Friday' is sad. I'm a nurse, and I've worked a lot of holidays. But that's healthcare.
Life and death sort of stuff....
Maybe it's just me, but is nothing 'sacred' anymore?
We are allowing retail to enter a day that traditional was meant for families.
So, so sad....
Having worked retail and the holidays all my life including thanksgiving day when it was necessary. I don't see the problem with shopping online as we sip our morning tea/coffee. I worked hard yesterday to get all my prep work done to make today easier. Its only my immeadiate family as most other relatives are gone. We have this as a day of family things , we play together, shop online together, look at what we want from santa online cook and eat and cleanup together. Both my boys live home and help me as does hubby. I will be working hard the next 2 days to try and satisfy angry , grabby, pushing and nasty customers all trying to get the one thing everyone else wants. Thank goodness 95% of my customers are not that. I will totally enjoy my holiday with my family and happy I got a deal on this flannel for the groups I make quilts for.
Thank you to all those who are staying home on Thursday and Friday! That means more sales that I can get!!!! Sorry to hurt any ones feelings ... but these are great saving deals and I can't afford not to go. Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving! :)
And like you, I'll order later today with no remorse, my friend. That's a crazy good price!Quote:

I will never be part of your 95%, and surely not part of your 5%.
That's when the crabby people come out!
Definitely NOT how I roll.
Happy Thanksgiving, chica! I LOVE the part when the gents helping you with clean-up!
You're training a few 'good' men!!
Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for the heads up on this wonderful online sale. I just bought 16 yds of flannel for 33 dollars, including tax! This will allow me to make more quilts for charity. It is a win win for me. I am not in a store dealing with the crowds - no thank you. I have moved to mostly online shopping for the holidays. Just don't like the stress and attitudes of people in the stores - shoppers, not the workers. There is no angst if I don't get the "perfect" gift - there is no perfect gift, except for love!
The only shopping I did or plan to do today was the daily deal and that is to go with the Electric Feather JR that I got. I had that French Vanilla JR on my wish list for that purpose.
I refuse to go out into that Friday madness!! I am going to meet Bernadette (bhaggerty) sometime tomorrow...possibly for lunch somewhere. I plan to spend most of the day in my sewing room.
Good luck to all those going to the black Friday sales....hope you get some great deals.
If I didn't have the grandson Friday, I'd hit the in-person flannel sale! His daddy has to work the sale @ HomeDepot, so I have sitting duty.
After Thanksgiving, all sales are good! I really don't mind the crowd as long as I don't have anywhere to be. I'm just not sure how well behaved he'd be at that time of the AM in a fabric store!
You in no way offended me. I was just passing on that I'm not shopping tomorrow. However, I did see an awesome sale on Friday at Joann's----trying to resist, oh no where's that flyer again, no I won't go, wow that was a really good price, darn I think my addiction has me beat.....I'll definitely be there tomorrow..lol!Quote:

One of the perks of being an employee is getting in the door early.... :-)
Are we all invited for lunch???? lolQuote:
