    Hancock Fabrics, one stop Valentines Day shopping

    Yeti and I were wandering around Hancock's Fabrics today and I just happened to see this...


    In the Clearance Section It is a wool poly blend, and was marked $6.99 and 50% off of that. Well, I watched Yeti drool for a bit, then I bought the bolt. He is now the very happy owner of 8 yards of 60" fabric. He plans on making a belted plaid and a 6yd knife pleat kilt from it.
    The only thing more daunting than an evil genious, is a bored one.

    I love the local Hancock Fabrics I don't think I have ever purchased anything at full price. I like the pattern and am looking forward to the finished pictures.

    You'll have yer wee piccies when I get done.

    Mind you, that probably won't be until around Easter time, but you'll have them, regardless.

    Blast!

    I search our local HF once per week in my local scavenging rounds. They never have nice stuff like that. Kudos.
