And that your new venture allows you to make a little money *and* do something you enjoy doing is all the more fabulous!! <br /><br />I remember when my son got married ... we did the rehearsal dinner at Tate Farms in their 'barn' venue. I did all the picnic tables in blue and white gingham table cloths that I cut and stitched -- with burlap runners and sunflowers in mason jars for centers. It was very rustic and SO pretty!! I bought the fabric from Sirs, so it was only $3 a yard, which was a good thing (a REALLY good thing) because we needed ~3 yards of fabric per table and had twelve dining tables plus the gift table and five serving tables! I bought sixty yards of the fabric (some extra just in case). And it was still cheaper than ordering the linens! Plus those gingham table cloths have made the rounds through my family and gotten *great* use in all kinds of parties and events! It was a terrific investment! :)Denise :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07306906507013593208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9167218720967523674.post-6024228800184815582013-02-10T14:22:14.316-08:002013-02-10T14:22:14.316-08:00My largest quilt fabric purchase was about $350 do...My largest quilt fabric purchase was about $350 dollars.

I can imagine when you hit the send button for the 35 yards of fabric your stomach turned a flip, mine would have, with excitement and the most likely...What have I just done ! In case you haven't heard the next guild is a sew day, bring your machine kind of thing. If you stay the drawing is for an iron, one of those pop up ones...I think.

I don't think I've ever purchased more than 15 yards at a time--and that was on a "half off" sale.<br />Your stadium quilts are beautiful. You just don't do anything halfway. I love red and black together. I can understand that one selling quickly. I wish you success with the others--and with your whole new business!
