I needed some machine needles

Arghhh I ran out of needles for my sewing machine so off into town I headed, thinking yep I will go too the Janome shop instead of spotlight that way I will not spend excess money on fabric, just get needles and leave right..nope wrong.The Janome shop was the most dismal place I have been in and just had no atmosphere at all..so somewhat rather peeved, I headed to spotlight just too get needles.
Well they saw me coming didn't they, there was a massive table with rolls and rolls of fabric marked down to $3-$4-$2-$6,and if you purchased the roll you got it for half the marked price-now come on would you look eh?
Got my needles yep I did, and then the fabric started screaming at me "come see come see"..


well first one off the rank was thisssss 245cm wide quilt backing,2.45 meters total =$6.30


Then from top too bottom of pile purple hippo's=1 m total $1.
Blue and maroon print =1.8m total$1.50
pale pink background with strawberries=1.5 total$1.50
pastel colour gingham check = 4.5m total $4.50
small purple print = 3.5m total $4.80
pastel stripes = 6m total $8.25
So I now have some other fabric LOL....and if you add up them prices($21.55) that's darn cheap eh?

Cheers Vickie

Of course you had to bring the fabric home - at that price it would have been irresponsible to leave it at the store!

Yes, you HAD to do this. Such a deal! Doesn't it make you feel all cozy to get a deal? Even when you vowed not to spend??? C

Wow, very nice materials, hope you didnt buy up the whole shop! Still I think it would cost me far too much in air fare to go there.
Cheapest flight I found was £450.00 GBP. and that would buy me loads of fabric. lol. hugz xxx

Fabulous buys! The only way you or I will ever get just what we are looking for is to leave all the plastic under lock and key, guarded by a big, hairy minder...and take the exact money!
