How to bring home yards of fabric so your husband won't say a word

Sometimes you happen upon a fabulous sale at your favorite quilt shop. Sometimes there is a new line of prints that is just too gorgeous to pass up. Sure, you need more fabric like a hole in the head and you probably don't even know what you're going to make with it. But you did bought it all anyways and now you've got to get it in the house before your husband starts the You Bought *More* Fabric lecture. Here is my fool proof method:


Step One: Walk in the door and immediately put your fabric in the washing machine to start its pre-wash. (Yes, pre-washing your fabrics is important!)

Step Two: Go find your husband, if he hasn't found you already. Bring him to your bedroom. Have hot sex with him. (If necessary, put your kid's favorite movie on in the living room.)

Step Three: Move your fabric from the washing machine into the dryer.

Step Four: Make your husband a sandwich. Or potato salad. Or a pie. Serve him the food with a beer.

Step Five: Remove your fabric from the dryer. Empty the lint trap. Go press your fabric, fold it and put it away.

Happy Thanksgiving y'all! And Happy Fabric Shopping! wink, wink
