Pink progress and still shopping
The pink quilt is now 53% quilted!  Woohoo!  
I have a post it note that I write who I am expecting a package from so I don't lose track.  I can now cross off The Fat Quarter Shop.  I ordered a yard of 32 count linen for cross stitch - Fox and Rabbit Flannel Flower.  It was on sale for 30% off; now that is a deal!  I needed to add something else to get free shipping, so I bought a few skeins of floss.  I am now set for years with stitching linen and won't buy any unless it is on sale.  I have Fox & Rabbit linen in Saltbush (my favorite color!), Mayflower, Flannel Flower, Tornado, and  Duxbury which is my least favorite color.  It is fun to have choices when kitting a sampler. 
This morning I received an email that Superior Threads was having a sale.  I like to use King Tut 40 weight cotton for machine quilting.  They had 500 yards spools for as low as $4.40!  Normally they sell for $10.99.  I am stocking up on quilting items big time while there are great sales!  The color pallet was limited, but for that price I bought pinks, greens, yellows, and a blue which will be great for baby quilts.  Yesterday I also ordered fabric from Connecting Threads; got an extra 30% off clearance fabric.  What a good deal along with free shipping because I bought enough so I would get free shipping.  Then I ordered some fabric from Miller's Dry Goods.  Nothing was on sale, but they had what I wanted and I ordered enough to get free shipping. Once all my goodies arrive, I will show what I plan on making.  I will be off work tomorrow; Hair appointment, and getting the chimney cleaned and inspected.  Maybe I will have more happy mail to show you on Friday.

The pink quilt is coming along beautifully. I too have to write down what I ordered (and this time of year where I hid it.). Happy quilting.
It's great to get in on sales for things you know you will need. Free shipping is always a bonus. I keep a list too of packages I'm expecting.
