I did have a peek at the paper though to see just what the ad said. It looked like a one day only sale so I presumed I had missed it.
Then the phone call came this morning–from the quilting friend that had left me the phone message from the previous day. She told me that I really should head over there–there was so much fabric when she was there on Saturday that she was sure they would still have the sale going on.
I phoned Liquidation World only to find out that they were indeed open on Sunday and yes, they still had that fabric sale going on. My daughter and I were headed to town anyway for other errands so we decided we would stop in.
The sale was 70% off everything, so it was easy to adopt fabric! This is what followed me home:
Fat Quarters: 22 black and white, 12 beige, 11 novelties.
Fat Eighths: 6 novelty prints
Cuts of fabric (minimum 1 m cuts): 19 meters of fabric in all.
Included in my fabric cuts were these: a wonderful chicken border print that will go with an existing fat quarter collection from the same line and these two pieces of Laurel Burch cat fabric that will also go with an existing fat quarter collection of the same fabrics.
I also brought home two kits: the first kit is a chenille scarf and the second kit is a cat quilt.
The first item on the left in this picture is a rooster needle punch kit, the second is a pattern from Maple Quilts called, Long Lines, the third item is a pattern to make quilted sweatshirt jackets, and the last pattern is a Christmas Rooster.
The last purchase was a book that I have been wanting some time, One Block Wonders.
So you see, I confess…I did not bust any stash this week, I did not quilt at all this week for myself, and I did not stay away from the temptation of purchasing new fabric. I hope I have time to prepare my defense before the Quilt Police come knocking on my door! LOL
If it helps, my purchases totalled less than my quilting friend’s purchases. VBG
I think stash busting is vastly over rated. I love the B&W collection you bought. Too bad that store is so far from Manitoba or I’d be there too.
You have to fall off the wagon occasionally! You can’t beat those prices.
Lovely! Aren’t the Laurel Burch cats gorgeous? You did a good job with all that purchasing and what a great deal as well.
Looks like some wonderful things . . . and maybe it is Stashbusting – just for the shop *s*
What a fantastic scoop of sale goodies. With a 70% off sale it would have been foolish NOT to. Enjoy 🙂
Merry Christmas to you, I guess!! Wow…. I’m glad that I didn’t know about it- I’m a big fan of Liquidation world. I would have had to pack yet another box to send to my parents!!
Fun! We have fabric warehouses down here…very dangerous breed.
I am glad you had a fun time!! and some very nice additions to the stash.
Mery Christmas!

Stash augmentation is necessary at some point and I would say you chose wisely. Adding to existing collections and so forth, I would think. I can’t wait to see what you are have planned for the B & W and who doesn’t need neutrals?
That chicken border print is perfect for you!
Pretty impressive!! I didn’t even know Liquidation World sold fabric. You definitely made some great choices there – all the black and white fabric!!
We all need – and deserve! – a day like this now and then. Bury those guilty feelings and enjoy!
oh man! i knew i should have gone! great buys!!
What a great shopping spree and such good deals!! Great job :-)!
Just finished perusing your wonderful collection of client quilts. Your quilting is wonderful! And, you actually got them all done in time for Christmas?! Merry Christmas!
Oh what fun fabrics! I”m dying to do some good fabric shopping! I”m trying to wait till Jan when I”m going to some of my favorite stores! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
