Heads up ladies! I was at our local wm the other night and they had a basket up front with single sheets in it marked down to really low prices...then 50% off at checkout! I got a twin for $1 and a full for 2.50! Wish I could've gotten more!

Now I'm mad!!! My store had NONE of any size shape or description. There is an Ollie's outlet about 15 miles from me, I will have to hit that. Couldn't do it today because of the prom dress needing hemming. Tomorrow is vet day and the new "baby" is supposed to arrive. I am so excited for that. I need to find someone to help me assemble it that won't blab to the family.

From a textile book:
.....Many fabric companies in the quilt market use cotton that is 60 by 60 or 68 by 68, meaning that many threads per inch going both ways crosswise and lengthwise. P&B often chooses cotton that measures 75 by 75. A bed sheet is much stiffer and wouldn't be very easy to sew through, even using a sewing machine (it is murder to hand sew).....
So just know you will may have problems with machine quilting and the LA may also.
