Supply Squee

I don’t quilt, but I love Fat Quarters. Love them.  They’re the perfect size for dolls, softies and other smallish projects and cheap! I usually buy the Flat Fats for around $3 a go, which is pretty good value.  Today, at Spotlight, I found the most amazing thing. Check it!

Would you like to know what that is? Shall I tell you? Well okay then. It’s a box of 28 fat quarters.  Guess how much it cost? “I dunno Frog, I reckon probably, at $3 a go, 28 FQ’s would be $84″. You’re right, it would be. This box? TEN DOLLARS. It works out to about .35 cents per FQ.

You can see why I grabbed the box, right? The lady at checkout glanced at it, scanned it, read the screen and then picked up the box and took a long look at it. “Oh my god!” she said. “I know!” I said. So excited.

No idea what the patterns are like, to be honest, as they’re so pretty all rainbow’d up in the box I haven’t opened it yet, but even if I personally don’t like the patterns, it’s all cool as sometimes when I make stuff I use patterns I wouldn’t normally enjoy, and it all comes out so good.

Ten bucks. Not a word of a lie.

I actually went to Spotlight to get some smaller hoops for embroidery as the only one I can find is large. I know I had some other ones, but I have no idea where they be. After cross stitching my framed lady (which was mailed off today) I’ve got the bug again. Digging around in the “Fabulous Finds” racks where I found the FQs I found some kits. Huzzah!

Not bad for the price. I also have some others I should work on, as well as a wedding sampler to get moving on when it arrives. Busy busy times!

Did I mention the FQs? Yes? Okay just checking. They were ten bucks, you know.
