What a find!!!

I will update you on our wonderful Christmas later when I have more time, but have to share the fabulous thing my sister-in-law and I discovered yesterday. We went to Springfield for the Tindell Christmas and I have wanted to explore quilt shops in that area for quite some time. The shop that is just down the street from my mother-in-law's is closed until the 5th of January. We found one on the internet that is closing December 31st and was having a huge liquidation sale. All of the fabric was 3.00/yard and patterns, stencils, thread, etc. were 75% off, and some were 50% off and the second one was free.
Look how much fabric there was:
I was on such sensory overload!!! I ended up with about 50 yards of fabric, for myself, my sister and Celia:I bought 9 yards of neutral fabric for myself because after taking a workshop on scrappy quilts at the Madison show, she said to collect neutrals. I also bought at least 11 yards of 30's repros, some batiks and novelties. I could have gotten at least 50 more yards of fabric, but I think the "cutters" were getting irritated with me.
Some of the stencils:
I also took a machine quilting class recently and she said the best thread for machine quilting is Aurofil in the orange cone:

I also got some wonderful verigated threads.
All of you quilters out there, please wipe the drool off of your chin now.
