Alright, I know I’m not the only one in the quilting blogosphere who went on a bit of a fabric-buying binge right before New Year’s. Not only was it fun to shop for this stuff, but there’s nothing quite like having those heavy Priority Mail envelopes show up on my doorstep.
Now, tell me that’s not the happiest sight a sewing girl can see?
Let’s break it down, shall we?
From Fabric.com, some major stocking up on Amy Butler Lotus, mostly Full Moon Dots. You can never have too much of those dots, man.
Plus two other assorted cute prints that I believe were on sale.
Is it just me, or do you find Fabric.com sometimes sends VERY generous cuts of fabric? As in, I ordered one yard and they sent 1.5 or even more? Insane. Yay for me! Plus there was a $10/off coupon and free shipping.
Then there was Fabric Shack and their 15% off everything sale.
Hellooooo, Hope Valley. You’ve been steadily growing on me. I’m having visions of blocks sashed in gray.
And, finally, I had a gift card AND a coupon to Pink Chalk Fabrics.
One Kona Cotton FQ starter set. Ooooh, solids.
And a few other assorted sale prints, because I don’t have a lot of orange in my stash. Yeah, that’s the reason…
All told, it’s over 16 yards of fabric, for less than $75 of my own money. Averages to around $4.50/yard. Sounds good to me!
So, did you get some goodies recently?

Oooo, I keep eyeing up material but haven’t taken the plunge yet. I think I get hung up on so many favorites and very limited $$ to spend and can’t decide. I want them all!

I really splurged last week too, I bought a fat quarter bundle of Simple Abundance, a quilt kit from my local quilt shop, and some yardage from The Fat Quarter Shop. Most of it was on a really good sale, I am so excited to get it in the mail this week!
I love the fabrics you bought, I have lots of the Amy Butler stuff you have too, it’s so gorgeous. I am slowly cutting into it

Ooooh girl, you did good! Great fabric choices and good bargains. I just received a package from Fat Quarter Shop with goodies I ordered right after Christmas. I had them hold the order since I was going to be out of town. Come to think of it…I forgot what I ordered. I’m pretty sure some of it was on sale. I guess I need to get off the couch and open my box. It’s just so COLD here!
