an entire spool of wide rickrack! I love wide rickrack but often I find myself dyeing it myself to get the colors I want, so the white is good choice for me. There are 65 1/2 yds here. How do I know that? Well I had to unroll it and reroll it, a good upper body workout too! I was able to get this for 70% off - a mere 38 cents a yard. Now who could pass up that bargain? And there were these lovely skeins of Weeks hand dyed flosses....
only $1 each. Along with the flosses I was able to get 5 1/2 yds of linen and evenweave for under $13. I also got almost 12 yds of Moda fabric --collections from Sandy Gervais and Camille of Cotton Blossoms for less than $4 a yard. And my mailmen brought a lovely group of cross stitch graphs.....
do we see a theme? Yep, they are all fowl - birds and chickens. I can't wait to play with these and since they are small they should stitch up quickly. I did finally get finished with the middle section of my BBD. This has taken soooo long. I am very happy to move onto the next section. I'll show an update pic later in the week. And drumroll please! I finished one of the items on my list of goals for Jul/Aug.
This pillowcase is for my son. I have no idea why I put this off for so long since it really was a very simple project. I want to make some pillowcases for me now and use some of my new wide rickrack.
Well I need to go and get my little Between Charming Friends quilt top basted. I really want to finish this. Hope you are having a relaxing weekend.
Happy stitching,

You have to tell us where you found such wonderful bargins! I usually wait for sales and do a lot of comparison shopping, too. I also look at shipping costs as some stores charge quite a bit.
