Good Morning, Quilters!
It feels like Spring here in Minnesota and I feel like singing like a bird…(you’re lucky there’s no microphone on my computer…)
I LOVED hearing everyone’s “First Quilt” stories yesterday! I was relieved to hear I wasn’t the only one using non-quilting fabrics.– Chintz, Polyester and even Suede–Why didn’t anyone warn us? YIKES! Well, there wasn’t as many absolutely fabulous fabrics like there are now!
On that note…
IMPULSE SHOPPING
Last week, I stopped by my local quilt shop, Bear Patch Quilting…to pick up a new BERNINA chair I ordered…
And I left with the chair, thread, fabric, a magazine….
I came home with these two fabrics. I am blaming YOU for the animal fabric…
I thought it would be a great fabric to demonstrate “fabric tracing”.
OPEN LINE FRIDAY
My question for you…What percent of YOUR fabric, thread, quilting shopping is “impulse”?
Let’s define impulse as…you had no intention of buying the item when you walked into the store.
To make it simple, let’s pick a percent:
25% 50% 75% 90% (I assume no one is at 100% impulse!?)
What about YOU? Do you have any questions this week? Are YOU an impulse shopper? Do YOU have a “first quilt story (or crazy fabric to share?)
We’d LOVE to hear!
