Three things to be happy about:
(1) fresh tomatoes
(2) e-books
(3) spray adhesive
While I wasn't looking, Hancock's in Gaithersburg sold 99.999% of their fabrics!
I was in this store last month; they had fabric coming out of their ears, but the prices hadn't been dropped enough for me to buy anything I didn't need...
I mean, reduced to 40% off???? That's the same as a regular sale at JoAnn's!
Among the stuff they had but I don't need and wasn't tempted by were some books, embroidery floss, thread, Christmas junk, some 2016 calendars (75% off, they oughta quit) and some upholstery fabrics.
But I did get this fabric though - black and white is always good, 3 yards of gold that I can definitely use.
I got the green Christmas fabric because I liked it - and it felt good! Large enough for a backing.
All at $8.99, minus 75%.
I can use this 10-1/2" square up ruler, it was the only one left, just hanging there.
Not a bad deal for $6.40!
So the last day for this particular store is this week, I think it's April 21.
Meanwhile, I'm thinking on a border treatment for the Scrap Crystals quilt, this doesn't look too-too bad I guess.
I've been looking for a piece that's a sort of blue and green muted swirly stripe, that I know I have. I remember seeing it about month ago, so frustrating!
I'll keep looking though.
Today will be a no-sew day for me, I'll be out and about - there's a jackpot with my name on it waiting at Maryland Live casino! My friend Brenda and I want to do some happy dancing before we come back home.
Sew forth and sew on til later,
That happened up here when a local quilt shop closed recently - somewhere between their 20% off and 50% off, they sold all the fabric. And I missed out completely. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteLooks like your luck was much better! Hopefully that luck carries on!
Two thumbs up for spray adhesive~! I missed the Hancock sale too but I have already SABLED.

I got 12 yds of ultrasuede upholstery fabric at 2.99 a yard. I am going to miss Hancock's as an alternative to Joann's. Now Joann's will raise their prices again just because Hancock's is no longer around ... UHG
ReplyDeleteI never made it before the sold out here either.
