I just returned from ANOTHER retreat – this one to St.Mary’s Retreat in Sewanee , TN . On the way, we stopped at 3 quilt shops. Take a look at what I purchased ….
WOW!!! This beautiful bounty adds up to 36 yards purchased!!!!! But at a fraction of the cost of today's fabric prices. The majority of this was $3-5 a yard. There were only a few batiks that ran about $9/yd. When I see fabric at that price, I buy it! We got unbelievable deals everywhere we went. And a special BIG SHOUT OUT to Jim Warf, owner of Decherd Needleworks, for bringing the quilt shop to us last night! =^..^=
I’ll tell you more about Retreat and post some wonderful pictures as soon as I get settled back in here at home – hopefully tomorrow. Web connection there was pretty spotty, and I really missed all my blog friends!!!!
I sewed like a mad woman at retreat, but alas no finishes this week, so my stash report is extremely lopsided for this week. :*0 Never fear though, I'll catch up soon!
Used this week: 0 yards (how pitiful is that I ask you?)
Used YTD 2012: 22.50 yards
Added this week: 36 yards
Added YTD 2012: 57.00 yards
Net Used for 2012: -34.50 yards (I’d better get busy!!!!)
How is your stash coming along? Head on over to Patchwork Times to see how others are doing with theirs.
Hugs & Blessings!

ReplyDeleteOh my -- you weren't joking, were you?!?! Our guild just returned from a quilt retreat at St. Mary's, too!!! You all must have been the group that came in after ours. And I *LOVE* shopping at Decherd's Needleworks! Jim has a great selection and even better prices!! Have you ever been in his shop? Have a GREAT week!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou bought a wonderful selection of fabrics, not many would have been able to resist them at such great prices. Glad your retreat was a success.
ReplyDeleteNow that looks like my kind of retreat/shopping trip! What great buys and it is fun to see what you got!
ReplyDeleteI don't do the stash report thingy. I am truly not trying to reduce my stash. Just buy what I love and/or need for a project and enjoy it! : )
