I Felt The Need

 I felt the need to order some sale fabric on-line.  It's been

a long time since I actually purchased fabric ... I felt the

need to help the economy just a little.

I don't know the name of the circle fabric but must say

I love this fabric!  It's hard to see in the photo but the golden

color is actually a metallic gold ... I want more!

 This order is a result of an e-mail sale alert from Zook's in

Lancaster, PA.  It's one of the stops my sister and I normally

make our way to while fabric hunting in Amish country.

 I always check out the cheapest price fabric first.  All this fabric

was marked to $3.99 per yard - for top quality.  I've been doing

this long enough to know which manufactures have 

quality fabrics and which do not.

The birds in this piece [as well as the one above] run

along both savage borders. I was thinking ... pillowcases.

 To justify buying this collection I thought placemats and

 napkins would be nice [that is] if we can ever entertain again.

Birds of a different color feather - I just liked it.

The gold flower print I was thinking would make a nice

quilt back fabric. 

 Wouldn't these make beautiful placemats?

 Fun and cute for the Christmas holidays.  I'm really trying

not to buy much Xmas fabric but it's so hard.

 This fabric I'm not sure what I'll make with it.  

Maybe a baby quilt for Outreach [?].

 I love Michael Miller fabrics and  I actually purchased 

4 yards of this!  I was thinking of pillowcases

for the twin {Charlotte & Ellie} for Xmas.  This one

also has the print on both sides of the salvage.  

Here is the entire stack and it's heavy!

$3.99 a yard is an excellent price with no sales tax

plus free shipping.  The way fabric has been flying out

of my sewing room with making placemats, napkins,

masks, and quilt tops for Outreach I'm surprised my

shelves are not empty!
