I too actually left a quilt show without buying anything. That is because I spent my wad going on 2 shop hops and 3 other LQS within the past 3 weeks. So much pretty fabric and so little money! Also need to save $ due to have 20% off total purchase coupons for shops that expire 10/4. Need to do more SHOPPING.

It was impulse, but foolish or not still to be determined... I stopped at my LQS to see about putting a flier in the window for my square dance club, so of course HAD to check out the sale section, sure I would find nothing irresistable. Approx 40 $4.50-5/yds later I walked out of the shop with 2 bagsful! Found such gorgeous stuff I could not resist, in spite of having, uh, 10 times that much? at home. :oops: Guess I'd better get off the computer and try out my new cutting table (6' folding table with PVC leg extensions to raise it to back-saving level, fits over end of guest room bed) and new cutting mat (JoAnn's 50% off sale with 20% off coupon besides, $20 instead of $50--love it when those coupons arrive by email at just the right time).
Most difficult part might be letting go of the quilts once they're made out of those oh-so-pretty, had-to-have fabrics. :-( That and resisting the impulse to use the 20% off Happy Birthday Week coupon from that LQS that I'll be getting next month. :mrgreen:

Bought a few panels (yea like I need more of those!), A kalidescope template, marking chalk, some charms, a really neat template for making leaves. Geez I don't use 90% of the items in my sewing room already...I had to vent somewhere...anyone else have a "spend foolish" story?
