    Default Clearance Sale Score

    I decided to go to Len's Mills today just to browse the clearance bins.
    I found a really nice overblown flower fabric in deep roses, and then a deep rose broadcloth, then some taupey broadcloth, and a mottled deeper green cotton.
    These will all go together in one quilt.

    Then I found a piece of cotton with needles and different coloured threads all over it on a tan background.
    This will be combined with another fabric that has sewing machines, spools of threads, sissors etc all over it.
    This will be made into a sewing themed wall hanging for my (future) sewing room.

    All the bolts had between 1.5 and 3 yards left, so I took it all....for less than $30.00 with tax.
    I a happy fabricholic!

    Good for you. Sounds like a good selection. Saving some money is always good.

    Which Len's were you in? After having visited most of them, I have discovered that all Len's are not the same. My quilting buddy often visits her sister in Port Dover and finds lots of sale stuff there that the Guelph or Hawksville stores (the closest ones to me) never have. Some also have tent sales with some great buys. I'd like some bargains too!

    I went to the Guelph one. I love Port Dover. We have been there 3 or 4 times now.
