Hancock shopping
I had to go through Chattanooga yesterday so decided to stop and see if there was anything left at their store. Their selection of quilting cotton was pretty small, though I did manage to find several things. They had a TON of fleece. I briefly considered buying some white to use as batting, because it was $3/yard, but ended up passing on that idea. They had four colors of "dotty," so I bought some to use on the back of baby quilts. I also bought some Frozen fleece thinking I could use it for Emmaline somehow.
They had a great selection of flannel, but I only bought two yards of "Sophia the First" because Emmaline likes her too. Somehow there was one lone ruler for $7 so I bought it, thinking I might donate it or give it as a gift. It's an Omnigrid 12 by 6.
I've been collecting a lot of solids lately, and they had a few colors, so I bought three yards each of four colors. I also found a back for a long-term quilt I'm working on that will use fabric that looks like 60's. In all I bought the ruler and 73 yards of fabric for $246, so that averages $3.40/yard. I thought that was pretty good.

It was fun to go to the sale at hancocks. I went three different times and got many yards of cotton fabric too. If you bought the rest of the bolt it was 75 to 95 percent off. I got two beautiful woolen blends for a song!
The sad part is, that was my favorite general fabric store to shop at. I will surely miss them.

Wow! You did great! I stopped in OLD TOWN SPRING on my way back from Houston last week and they were having a big clearance sale in the back building. I thought I would find some not too pretty fabrics, but there was so much I wanted I really had to curb my purchasing. They required you to buy at least a yard, but that was not hard to do! Their prices went from $1.99/yd to $6.99/yd and boy did I love it...I think I got 6 different pieces and various yardage and spent maybe $60. Was quite a find and enjoyed the detour immensely. Though it delayed my time getting home, it didn't bother me at all, and I really didn't need to add to my already huge stash, but that didn't stop me either! Do you think I have an addiction?? Wonder if there is a cure for that??!! LOL
