My bestie kidnapped me and we went to Ehler's Variety Store in El Dorado Springs MO. I may have gone a little wild!... maybe just a little wee bit... Ehler's Variety is probably about as close to an old fashioned General Store as you'll get in today's modern times. They have a HUGE section of flat fold fabrics. Some are kinda stiff and cheap and others are closeout's from name brand fabrics and pretty darn nice.... and they are all $3.98 a yard... every day, all day, all year long.... I bought 30 1/2 yards of fabric.... Shhhh..... don't tell the King! Here's what I got:
And then yesterday I had to go to the doctor in Joplin MO. There is a great quilt shop in Lamar MO, which is right on the way to Joplin. They have a sign on the interstate that reads "Scream till your husband stops!"
I didn't have to do that, but I would have if he hadn't agreed to stop for me. I didn't get quite as carried away there. I only bought a panel and some pre-cuts in red, white, and blue! Surprised aren't you!!
I feel better now... until I look at my bank account!
You're so funny:-)

ReplyDeleteLovely acquisitions!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that Ehler's Variety Store existed and now it's your fault that I'll have to stop in on my next trip through. I do love Blue Top Quilt Shop and sometimes make the sixty mile trip just to shop there. Love the reds,blues and greens that you picked up. Have fun with them.
