Black Friday Shopping
While others were anxiously awaiting Friday after Thanksgiving Sales for the video games, electronics and other shopping madness, in the Aker household we had just one thought in mind - fabric sales. Now, keep in mind that we have been gradually introduced to the world of bargain fabric shopping. I have gotten signed up for the JoAnn’s weekly sales flyers and learned to check each Sunday for the weekly sales, hoping that the flannel or fleece would be on sale. We purchase Fleece and flannel to make blankets for the babies in NICU and PICU at University of Iowa Hospital. We have quarterly workgroup meeting were volunteers get together and sew as many as 200 blankets in a weekend. We are constantly on the lookout for the best prices on fabric. But, I have never before partaken of the Black Friday madness at JoAnn’s fabric. I had heard about the fabulous prices on Flannel on this day. I have been dreaming about it for a month. At least once a week I had a nightmare where I dreamed that JoAnn’s wasn’t having the sale this year. Where were we going to get all the fabric needed to make the 800+ blankets a year that we donate? Thank goodness it was just a dream
