I am a sucker for sales. So when I went to Walmart to purchase a clock (I can't keep one running in here for dirt!) for the sewing room I checked out the Clearance aisle. I happened upon the Walmart Clearance aisle a few years ago and now everytime I go in there I check out the items there. Today I found a gold mine!These wonderful boxes are $3 each! Can't beat that with a stick!
And I found this at Hancock's last week. I like to use flannel in place of the batting in a number of my quilts. Down here in Louisiana we really don't need quilts that hold heavy warmth, but just light covers for our mostly mild winter nights. And I love the drape of flannel in a quilt.I am always on the look out for a good sale on good flannel and found this Norman Rockwell flannel for $1 a yard! I bought the entire 12 yards left on the bolt! Check out the pink price tag, girls. They couldn't sell it at $4.95 a yard. And they couldn't sell it at $1.95 a yard. But I scoffed it up at $1.00 a yard! Yeah, buddy!
And I couldn't resist this one that was sitting on top of the flannel at $2 a yard, so I bought 2 yards. I can see one of those Letty Bags by Robin.
It looks great just draped over the bench outside. Maybe I need to get more for some backings........
Happy Mardi Gras! LOL!

Keep your eye out for flannel sheet sales too. I use flannel sheets a lot as batting and it doesn't have to be seamed!
ReplyDeleteI love boxes! I collect boxes! I need to check Wal-mart! Great idea about the flannel.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great use for flannel. Between February and March, our weather is so mild that a blanket is too much and a single sheet isn't enough.
