Now tell me honestly, what would you do if you received an email from your LQS telling you that they were having a 40% off EVERYTHING sale?
A. Click on ‘delete’.
B. Roll over and go back to bed.
C. Call in sick.
D. Call your bank to get an increase on your line of credit.
E. Get yourself over there ASAP!
Well I don’t know about you all but I certainly selected ‘E’ …contemplated ‘D’…and made my way over post haste.
The shop is called Quilte Classique and is located in Pointe Claire, Quebec, a suburb of Montreal. It is a cozy little shop located in a picturesque village setting. I have been there a few times but because it is located about 65 miles from home, it is not somewhere I frequent that often.
But who can resist a sale?
I did my best to help stimulate the economy and purchased some wonderful fabric from the Welcome Home collection by Lydia Quigley for Clothworks.
Now I have to find the perfect design for this wonderful fabric. Any suggestions?
Happy stitching!
Kaaren ♥

40% off at a quilt shop!!! I would RUN over. I did go to my local JoAnns yesterday and used 12 of my 40% off coupons on notions and stuff. It was a coupon extravaganza weekend.
hi kaaren,
love your fabric choices, they just scream autumn! my favourite season. a table runner would be adorable with a wooden box on top filled with pumpkins & greenery.
i've seen those snap hoop thingies and been told they are great. let me know how you find it.

40% off! Wow. Are they going out of business?
I almost purchased some of the Welcome Home on my trip.
Hi Kaaren!
When I stop drooling I may just be able to try and think of a project... but the drooling needs to continue for a while longer...
Enjoy your goodies!!!

Congrats on your purchase! The fabric is so pretty.
I would say: E! There is only one "but" the shop is a little bit to far away, just a little, little bit...I'm living in the Netherlands! LOL
The fabric you bought is so wonderful! This kind of fabric is my absolute favourite.
Many greetings from Holland,

Oh the colors in those fabrics are just wonderful! They scream fall!! I can't wait to see what you do with them. I know it will be perfect!
You would love that shop I went to. So quaint. Almost made me want to start quilting!
Enjoy your Monday!!
Wow, that was a terrific sale - I would have been there with bells on my toes! Yummy fabrics!
What beautiful fall colors! And yes, you are right, at 40% off I would have run, not walked over to the quilt shop :-)
Oh you lucky gal you! Did you get a speeding ticket on the way there?
Now that is sale I could not pass up either. I would be there in a flash.
Good girl-you done good!

Your music distracted me. Found myself chair dancing. Yippee. Love it.
Wow, a 40% sale! I'd certainly drop everything and run there. Great fall fabrics you picked out!
40% off run do not walk!!!
40%...that's almost unheard of! Yes, I'd be running to my quilt shop with those numbers! Have a great week!
It is rare to find a shop giving that kind of discount! Wowzers!! SCORE!!!
Imagine, 40%off! Unheard of! Of course you ran over there!
I would have "e" tooo..........lovely fabrics.....
Oh yeah - D and E for sure, Kaaren! And I bet you had a lovely drive, too! Great purchases - love the colors in your fabric choices!
Cheers!
We don't often get 40% off here. I am really trying not to buy unless it is for a project. I have so much stash that I really feel guilty just buying cause it is on sale like I used to. LOL. Love your new purchases.
Remember the book Dick and Jane and they had run spot run. (If I remember correctly). Anyway I say Run Kaaren, Run. Great choices.
Keep Stitchen'

E it's definitely E! I'd stock up on things like thread too, it's normally so expensive.
Awesome Sale! I'd have picked E too. ;o)
Well--I would of picked "E" too--but would of really wanted to do "D" first--I can get really carried away at 40% off fabric and notion sales--here I only find 20-25 % off sales--SOOOOOOO--you did good--love the new fabrics--fall is what it it shouting to me--a nice quick cozy lap quilt!!!! Hugs, just, Di
Oh my - good for you! Those fabrics are lovely!
What yummy autumn colors!!! These are going to make a beautiful quilt. What about a table runner? I am getting out my autumn decorations slowly but surely. I have my quilts out now. It is late for me this year as I normally start decorating in August. I feel like starting a new autumn quilt project and your fabrics only make me want to even more. But I need to get my charm quilt done first...
I am trying to get back to my stash diet. I have so much that I would have to choose option A with much pain on the finger pushing the delete button...lol.
Hugs ~
Heidi
P.S. ~ If you stop by my other blog TheCranberryChronicle, you can see some of the things we did on vacation.
Here is my honest reaction Kaaren,
A= what i should do
B= Tempting
C= Never
D= I am to "old"to get one
E= should be the best solution
F= floting over there if I lived in the neighbourhood and my savingpiggy was as fat as i am...lol...
you made lovely purchases Kaaren...
greetings Francien.
You are funny. Of course we'd all run not walk!!! I'm feeling fall colors right now.
40% off?? Definitely drop everything and dash over there is what I'd do.
Hi Kaaren...I wish I live a little closer to Montreal!!! What a deal! Love those fabrics designed by Lydia!
Karen.. I just finished with a 30% off sale and bought many notions so I know exactly where you are coming from!! oh happy days!!
