What was you good "stay at home on Black Friday" purchase?
I never do Black Friday ...out of the house that is! Good grief... nothing I want bad enough to have to go through all that! But I did sit down at the PC this morning checking fabric stores I regularly check out....and Fabric.com had cottons for $1.99 a yard!!! I thought, wow.. how perfect! I have been commissioned to make 25 (coloring book size) tote bags for the kids next summer at vacation bible school at my church. I was just going to go through my stash, and I have some really good prints for kids, but...I couldnt' pass this up! I got a yard of 5 or 6 cute boy/girl prints and I can get 4 totes from a yard... I think. I made them last summer and I think I used one fat quarter for the front and back and then poly/cotton for the inside lining. Can't get any cheaper than that and the kids will love them. THey have slots for crayons on the front. So I was thrilled..and with $35 or more...free shipping! They ahd alot more, but I did have a budget to stay with.
And I admit, there were some for me too... I am planning on making a cat quilt for my sister... quilt with cats on it...and they had for $1.99 really cute fabric of a stick figure kind of lady walking a cat...cartoonish look. And I got 3 yards of that for the back of her quilt and another print for the back of my zigzag quilt I just finished the top of and for the back of the pansy quilt I am working on now. $1.99 a yard...can't beat that! I spent $35.08...just enough for free shipping! Now.. to wait for monday hoping Connecting Threads will have their thread on sale for Cyber Monday!
So... any good "stay at home black friday" sales did you snatch up?
