Is it all about the almight dollar?<br /><br />I understand sewing early...I do too...but buying clearanced at the end of the season is what that shopping is for...if not...at LEAST keep the decorations and junk put away until mid November! ;)<br /><br />HoneyHoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05943559434282639231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-88187071865572577972010-07-09T22:39:07.782-05:002010-07-09T22:39:07.782-05:00I can see fabric stores stocking fabric early so p...I can see fabric stores stocking fabric early so people can start/finish projects before the holiday, but Hobby Lobby has started putting out all of their holiday decor items already! No need to decorate yet. Let's enjoy the season we are in!<br /><br />BTW, I wish you lived in the mid-west - I want to have you come over and help me make slopers. I think I can do it but it would make me feel better if someone was holding my hand and spooning me Nutella while I made my first one. :)Leilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04687956328790829812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-66390881415713359962010-07-09T15:02:07.015-05:002010-07-09T15:02:07.015-05:00I see you Christmas Fabrics and raise you Movies 2...I see you Christmas Fabrics and raise you Movies 24 showing ruddy Christmas Movies all through July...ARGH! <br /><br />That said I am going to buy some Christmas fabrics soon as I have an idea for making chains to decorate the house with... the girls can put them together to keep them out of my hair...erm, I mean busy!Vixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00877448979267098198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-86049292643824476832010-07-09T11:53:02.689-05:002010-07-09T11:53:02.689-05:00LOL!

I know... our local quilt shop has been getting holiday prints in...Everytime I go by there I plug my ears, avert my eyes, and say "lalalala-I don't see you" until I pass the bolts. I feel cheated of the current season/holiday when I see that. Same thing happens when I see the Halloween stuff coming out at the end of the summer..... Or the holiday decorations before labor day!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05038508739472777056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-82620047105492908032010-07-09T10:59:14.964-05:002010-07-09T10:59:14.964-05:00My Hobby Lobby (outside of Houston) put up a coupl...My Hobby Lobby (outside of Houston) put up a couple of aisles of Christmas decorations about 3 weeks ago.

If you looking for anything "summer like" what little is left is 66% off. I heard my first Christmas carol commercial last week for HH Gregg. I won't be shopping there this year!

So I love it! <br /><br />That's my argument for the materials. Decorations? That's something else entirely.
