We’ve all done it! We’ve all gone to the store and bought some junk we didn’t need because it was on sale. I know I’m guilty of it. I’ve looked through my stash and had to do a double-take on some fabric. Why did I buy it? Why did I keep it? Why do I not even want to use it as a quilt backing? I’ll tell you why: it’s ugly!

Joann’s Moonlight Madness Sale!!!!!

Yes! It is that time of year again! It is time to fondle some sale priced fabric at Joanns! I know I’m excited! It’s been all I could think about all day yesterday. Unfortunately I had to do a crap ton of housework. I was stripping the paint off of windows, and I had to take the wallpaper off of my bathroom walls, and prime to paint it! I have been very busy. However, tomorrow I’m heading to Joanns with a fist full of dollars and I’m going to stock up on everything! And I mean everything! I need batting, and fat quarters, and bobbins, and needles, and maybe some flannel, and Heat N Bond. I need it all! I’m so excited! Once I go get the batting I can finish my latest Etsy commission Quilt, and get it in the mail! I should be able to pin and quilt it tomorrow after work, and then bind it on Wednesday! I’m excited!
