What a find. I never see fabric in our local Goodwill store. I guess everyone here just keeps all their fabric.

Did anybody ask "How do you acquire a stash?"

I too live in an area not too populated so peeps hang on to their stuff or sell it. I would like to say that most finds for everyone are hit or miss....you're more likely to hit by visiting often. Our GW puts all crafts in a bin including the fabric. SAVERS hangs theirs on hangers, SVDP is on a shelf and SA hangs theirs up too. Always remember, workers at many charieties have first dibs B4 the public......probably not what the person donates would want to know.
