Fleece is the word
It's easy for Carolee Cavalier to tell you what drove her to Jo-Ann Fabrics at 6 a.m. today.
"Flannel and fleece," she said, gesturing to a shopping card full of enough fabric to blanket all of Octomom's kids several times over.
Ms. Cavalier and her friend, Jan Young, initiated the uninformed on just how good these deals were. Fabric that usually cost $6.99 per yard was selling for $1.74. More than $8 was sheared from the price of fleece, hitting bargain-basement levels of $2.99 per yard.
Enthusiastic as they were, the two friends from Greensburg had nothing on some shoppers pushing carts full of fabric towers. It was like "Doomsday Planners" for fabric fans.
Ms. Cavalier and Ms. Young stood a bit away from the fray, waiting until their number was called by the cutting table. They were numbers 74 and 75, and there was a while to go. They admired a color-blocking design that Ms. Young picked up. It reminded them of designs seen on "Laugh-In."
The two were decidedly calmer than the rest of the cart-clogged store.
"You'll want to take a deep breath before turning that corner," said Ms. Cavalier, pointing toward the cutting table and its line.
