Inquiring minds want to know.

I look for purple.

I check out the clearance section first, then the sales, fat quarters, nursery prints, and everything else. Just seems to always be in that order.

I head straight for the clearance fabrics. I have only paid full price on a hand full of the fabrics in my stash.

Boy! Although I head for the batiks, I quickly get overwhelmed and use the word Awesome....at least DH as so :lol:

Some shops I head to remnants, scraps, etc. Other shops I start at the front and work my way around. I generally skip books and patterns, but do like to browse at notions.
