I am back home, tired and happy, after a wonderful weekend trip with daughters, garage sales, multiple Dairy Queens while traveling, breakfast at Cafe Brazil (my favorite breakfast place)while in Dallas, and Canton.
It is an 8 hour drive one way (from where I live)- if you do not stop. I repeat- if you do not stop. I am a stopper…
One of my favorite side trips was visiting fabric warehouses in Dallas.
The clincher was this: the fabric was $3-$5 a yard and in one store, if you bought at least 5 yards, it was $2 a yard. This is what I got.
Red toile- $5 a yard- This may go on a couch.

Pinky red remnant-$2 a yard- this may go on dining table chair seats.

Medallion fabric-$3 a yard- this may go on dining table chair seats.

Next I found ANOTHER fabric that I may use on my dining table chair seats, and I love this. It was $2 a yard. You may have noticed a pattern. Apparently I will be covering millions of chair seats.

And I couldn’t resist this at $2 a yard for my grandsons. I am going to make 2 blankets.
Two grandsons=2 blankets=no fighting over blankets, right???

Now I need to get busy…

Dern, I got to go back to Dallas. When you have a minute, write a list of what and where to visit there! I love fabrics!!!
Oh my! I need to find this place. Every piece is just beautiful. All of your ideas sound wonderful.
How fun! I would be in that place FOREVER! I know what you mean about having to travel for so long. We live 6 1/2 hours from our grandchildren - 5 if you are DH driving! Once in awhile he comes in handy....Ha! Have a wonderful week.
Wow! You have your work cut out for you! Those are beautiful fabrics and I will be anxious to see the results! Can't wait to see what you found in Canton!

Love the fabric and those chocolate Dairy Queen things.
How good are you at recovering a sofa, loveseat and chair?! If you have extra time, just holla at me...I'll put ya to work! Beautiful fabrics :)
I go all those places, too, Laura, most recently Wherehouse to buy yards and yards of fabric to have a pageant dress made for my daughter last year. You got some great deals there. I love all that red! Can't wait to see what you do with it - at least we know you're going through a "red phase". Have fun!
Gorgeous fabrics!!! I can't pick a favorite...I love them all!!! We didn't make it to Canton this month...I tend to stay away until it gets cooler!!! I am glad to hear ya'll had a good time!!!
Enjoy!!!
XOXO
Cathy
You got lots of pretty fabric and at great prices
Oh my gosh! Be still my heart! That would be worth a trip! Red toile is my downfall!
Glad you had a good trip!
I wish I had somewhere close with this kind of deal on fabrics...wow.... LOVE the fabrics you picked. Can't wait to see what you do with them.
Those fabrics are so gorgeous. I wish I could find bargains like that here in Georgia.
