So, I am working on my New Year's Mystery Quilt and just as soon as the last clue is posted I get a call from a friend.
"They are having a sale down at the LQS. Did you know about it?"
(Like I NEED to find a sale, right???)
so, I figure she wants to go to the sale, and I will just tag along and see what's going on. I call to double check facts.
"Hey! That fabric you order (six months ago :? ) came in last night! You can come down and get it any time"
how convenient ... so, I bundle up hubby and head out to spend some $$$ ...
The fabric I ordered lo, those many months ago ... the hold up being: salesman says it is PINK ...
I say ... it isn't PINK ... what part of Red Strip-It suggests it would be pink????
He has never been wrong before
ORDER IT! I will donate it to Project Linus if it is pink (although, if Operation Stork is any indication, we need more boy colors)
and behold! It is RED!

Having purchased over 70 years of fabric, I was gifted with this canvas tote!

This is the end of the day ;-)
The fabric in the middle is a nice version of R/W/B, so figured ... nice patriotic touch!

There are instructions, but I was also gifted these two panels as a thank you. Cool!

Well I left that sale with about 50 years (yards) of fabric as well...amazing how quickily it adds up ..but at 4$ a yard you can't beat it ..I think I need to go back for more....I will be quilting there tomorrow...it keeps getting picked over pretty good though! I keep thinking about quilt backings..but i kind of hate peicing them anyway..I would rather just buy the extra large.
