fabric diet needed...ASAP

Well, I'm back from vacation and bought a whole lot of fabric that I didn't really need. But I'm tired of liking something, then waiting, then having it not available. So I bought it!

I had a great time at my mom's and the kids had a blast. But I'm happy to be home and ready to get sewing again!
Here's what I got:
Heather Bailey's Nicey Jane. All 50% off from a lqs in Rockford, IL

6 1/2 yards of Anne Kelle's Remix for Robert Kaufman @ 70% off from a lqs in Belvidere, IL. (yes, I bought all that was left on the bolt. I paid $18 for all of it including tax!)

Some dots to go with my "Flower Sugar" fabrics. purchased from Hancock Fabrics in Rockford, IL. One is a Robert Kaufman that they accidentally didn't charge me for.

Michael Miller's Lil' Cowpokes and Lil' Cowgirl and a blue bandanna print from the same line. I couldn't resist, it was too darn cute! Purchased at Hobby Lobby.

Some miscellaneous prints from Hobby Lobby that were all on sale 30% off. 

and of course, some of those Denyse Schmidt fabrics that are now at Joann's that everyone is talking about. Another that I was not going to miss the boat on!

  2. I know what you mean about waiting and missing out! Great to grab a bargain and your favourites while you can.....as long as they will be useful. Sometimes I gain so much joy from looking at a favourite (unused).

  3. At 70% off, I'd be disappointed if you didn't finish off the bolt!

  8. A sale at a Rockford quilt shop...
    and I missed it! Can I ask which shop?
    Great finds on your bargins. Love all your choices.
    When I hit Rockford I better check out JoAnn's. With gas over $4.00 a gallon I better make it worth the trip.LOL

  10. I have desperately been looking for the "Flower Sugar" fabric that you show - the red with yellow dots! Did that come from Hancock Fabrics in Rockford? I looked on their website and did not find it. Please let me know if you need to get rid of it! Lol! I only need a 24" square!!

    1. It's actually red with white dots and it's not Flower Sugar. I think it was just a generic brand and I did get it at the Hancock Fabrics in Rockford but this was a LONG time ago. I don't think I have any extra as I'm using it for a king sized dresden plate quilt. (I'm only 1/2 through it!) ;)
