    Go for it and just spend wisely. Get what you know you will use, and then you won't feel so guilty spending that money. Hubby won't mind either when you tell him how much you saved....after all you could have bought the same amount of fabric at the regular prices. Just don't hoard fabric....use it to it's full potntial.

    Unfortunately, the prices will go up so take advantage of anything on clearance, sales or reductions. It's the best way to stretch your dollar.

    Well I'm home!!! So here is what I got. about 15 yards of fabric for $110. All were batiks so that was pretty good. I have all the fabrics for the Glacier Star pattern. And then about $90 dollars at 2 other quilt stores that we stopped at.

    the 50% off store

    Talk you out of it no way, cause Your husband called and said for you to buy any thing you wanted. (25 years of being with my parents who were retailers pays off)
