    Default the tally is in, sort of

    after doing 9 loads of laundry the tally is in on the fabric I got at the craigs list ad.
    20 yards of flannel
    20 yards of fleece. Guessing, could be more
    59 yards of cotton
    All this for $25

    I have a piece of duck and another piece of something that still needs washed, but decided to give the washer a break for now.
    and I also got the new roll of soft and crafty batting

    I've used that Soft and Crafty batting before. Mine was an 80/20 blend and I was pretty happy with it. My quilts are a little lighter weight with it than Warm and White, but for here that is just fine.

    Count your blessings on your garage sale/craig's list finds where you are. The ones listed out here are scary bad and over priced.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    Wow oh wow! Wish I could find those same kind of deals! Guess I need to start watching Craig's list, huh? Can't wait to see what you create!

    I am so envious of the wonderful deals I see that people have found. Anytime I think to look at adds I find listings 70+ miles away and the price is almost full QS quality price. It is just crazy.

    I look at them often, but have found only one in the near vicinity. I did manage to get a lot of fabric for next to nothing and the Brother Scan & Cut for my sister for $200. I didn't think that was bad.
