I have always viewed other crafter's stashes of fabric with envy. I have never had a huge stash and usually buy fabric for the project I am working on. I have bought a few fat quarters here and there but have never had "too much"....until now!
Over the past few months I have been buying a few cuts here a few cuts there, made the occasional etsy or superbuzzy order. And then recently my sister-in-law got me a gift certificate for a little fabric store in San Anselmo, CA (not too far from where I live) called Sunflower Fine Fabrics. When I went in to use my gift certificate I found out that the store was closing because of family related issues and everything in the store is 40% off!! You can imagine what fun I had shopping, she has beautiful fabrics including, Denise Schmidt, Amy Butler, Kaffe Fassett, tons of solid colors and batiks, quilting books, a few japanese crafting books and lots of notions.
After my little shopping spree last weekend I couldn't stop thinking about the 40% off deals and I went back yesterday. I found out that the store is now going to stay open!! And, since the very nice owner, Patty told everyone that everything was 40% off through January 31 she is keeping her promise. Don't you love her? I do, and I am going back again tomorrow. If you live anywhere near the Bay Area you should make a trip over to her cute little shop.
lucky! wow - that last photo is killing me - great stuff!

I get it now...your email confused my i thought you meant the "QA" in your town (don't want to start any rumors...) After drooling over your photos might just have to find my way there ASAP!!

Funny you should mention this shop. I went in there yesterday just because I was in San Anselmo for lunch. Had no idea the shop was almost closing, or that they were going to be having a sale. I was really excited and I even bought some of the same fabric as you! haha Patty was super nice and asked me if I wanted to teach a class. Small world, eh?
