Went to visit my daughter in LaPlata, MD this weekend. She wanted to
sleep late, so I took a short trip (walking distance from her house)
to Material Girls with the intention of buying only patterns - after
all patterns burn fabric calories. I picked up some nice ones as well
as some goodies for the SS, when I was hit with some must have
black-and-white prints for a project I have in the planning stages.
But, it was only 2 yards, so not a very big deal.
Then back to DD's house, get her awake and she she says, "Hey, Mom, I
found another quilt shop in Waldorf." So off we go. Now this one has
a close out on some great high quality fabrics (even found a Hoffman
print I've been looking for for a quilt binding) on closeout. They
were pre-cut yards - 10 pieces for $25. I did hold myself to 10. In
the old days, I probably would have bought 40!

Linda, I think as we approach the holidays, we must understand that
it's not smart as mature people to torture ourselves in the "goody
rich" environment. LOL. I think you did well. And you shared one of
those trips with your daughter. What fun.

Holding off on buying the Japanese fabric cuz my local quilt show is
this weekend and some neet vendors will probably be there.
