It's so easy to pile those shopping carts high. I have to watch credit card spending because I have real shopaholic tendencies. I am going to have to create a fabric budget.Faye Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781186043996633965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-61326932706616967962018-09-08T10:36:44.881-04:002018-09-08T10:36:44.881-04:00Thank you Sharon!

Some purchases have been fantastic and others were not. That has happened with me with JoAnn's as well. I don't even have a JoAnn where I live now and I could always go there for patterns, button, other notions. So now will miss them. Look forward to seeing your new garments.Linda Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655695696943452993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-71777999533896500912018-09-03T21:33:01.324-04:002018-09-03T21:33:01.324-04:00Welcome back!

Once I fell in love with a printed linen for a skirt, and I wanted to get a soft knit to make a matching t-shirt. I called, and they talked me through a few options, then sent me the linen along with some swatches when I couldn’t make up my mind. Super friendly and helpful!!Tampa Bay Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02831348423051153075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-32184696972771730052018-09-01T08:59:54.874-04:002018-09-01T08:59:54.874-04:00Glad to have you back.
