Fabric Shopping Trip
Back in February hubby surprised me with a fabric shopping trip. This was just a few weeks before my birthday in March. He took me to Guhl's in Jackson Ohio. It's about 2 hours from here. Here are some pics from the trip...
Look! Windham fat quarters for $1.25 each. Needless to say that I loaded up on those!
More fabric... They have a lot that is precut into something like 2yards or so but you can have anything over 2 yards cut. The yardage ran $3.99 yard and it was name brand fabric.
Yep, that is me! Hubby was snapping pics because I was a little overwhelmed. LOL
I spent just under $100 and this is what I brought home...These are 2 pieces of 2yd each
Then a bunch of fat quarters...

This is all of the fat quarters...
I am planning another trip in the fall. I absolutely loved it!!!!
Today I did a little bit of handpiecing on my Kindred Hexies but not a lot. I was babysitting my 2yr old niece so we did a lot of playing and then we took a nice long nap. :)
Tomorrow is grocery shopping day! I really need to go but always dread it. At some point this coming week, I need to run to Joann's which is an hour away to pick up some fabrics for a customer quilt that I will be making. I have to be in that area anyway so I'll just pick it all up then. I also need to purchase some stabilizer for a t-shirt quilt.
Mom comes home from work tomorrow and Richard has the weekend off. Not sure what we will do this weekend. I think at this point we are supposed to get a lot of rain.

Looks like your trip was well worth the drive. That's a great haul for the $$ you spent! My "local" Joann store is not quite an hour from me but requires a bit of a drive so sometimes I want to go but dread having to deal with the drive, etc. Once I'm there I'm glad I went, of course. ha ha.
My 11-yr-old GD wants to learn to sew pillowcases so I've offered to drive her there sometime to choose some fun fabrics. That will make a fun trip absolutely.

My goodness what a fabric stash trip! And now you have to go to Joann's? lol. Thanks for sharing such great fabric shots. mary in Az
Girl, you did make quite a haul! Now the question is, what will you do with all those pretty fabrics, and perhaps more important, when will you do it? We'll all be watching to see! ---"Love"
Wow! That's an amazing amount of fabric for the money. I wish I lived near stores like that. Actually, considering the current size of my stash and the rate I sew, it's probably a good thing I don't! I'm no where near as productive as you.
That place does look very overwhelming. Would probably give me a migraine, but I would be willing to give it a try. : )
Nice choices, Kristi! How fun to know you get to go again later this year.
What a wonderful store with great prices! Enjoy creating new projects!
