Well I couldn't resist going to Joann's after being stuck in the house since the day after Christmas with a particularly nasty stomach virus that I picked up from one of my adorable nieces or nephews. I haven't figured out which one of the 9 gave it to me. But anyways. I was feeling feeling human again and felt it was safe enough to venture from home today since I have been symptom free for 2 days now.
So I get to the store and I found that their notions were 50% off and I decided to pick up a quilting frame that's made out of PVC.
While I was doing that one of the friendly sales associates I talk to all the time when I am in there, Susan, came over and told me that they had some jelly rolls like I was looking for last time. So I made my way over to the table and took what they had left. Of course my eyes caught the fat quarters that were coordinated to the jelly rolls so I picked those up to.
All in all it was a good shopping trip. I had set a budget when I went in of no more than $120 dollars and I stuck to it. Even though there were more things I could have picked up and put into my cart.
I think I did well.
:)

Wow Henry you did good! I like the fabrics, and I've seen those frames at a quilt show, they look very useful.
I had Norovrus too just before Xmas, its awful isn't it! The only good side of it was I lost weight from it, but think I put it all back on over Xmas!

Good job Henry! Glad you're feeling better. Let us know how you like the quilt frame. I went today too, I looked at the flyer online yesterday and saw that the quilting notions were 50% off. I bought bias makers in 3 different sizes and a 15 x 15 ruler. I showed some restraint - spent about $21. (That's because I just busted my budget when Thousands of Bolts was having their sale!)

Henry, I have that same frame. I use it when I tie quilts, but mostly I throw a quilt over it and my grandson uses it as a fort. I put it away before his last visit and he was so mad, I had to put it back together again. :) :) I like it because it is so lightweight and doesn't take up a lot of floor space when I have a quilt on it to tie.
BTW, do you want the Chiaverini book, Quilter's Kitchen? It doesn't have a lot of story to it, but has some good recipes (I made copies of the ones I thought I might actually make). I thought you might like it to add to your collection.
