I went to a garage sale Saturday morning and found 26 yards of fabric total. I could not believe it!!!!! I was so excited.
The red white and blue fabric (small print) alone was 10- 3/4 yards. The turqoise was 5-1/2 yards. I cut down the red white and blue into smaller yardages for easier cutting. I even found some fall fabric and some chintz. I spent most of my day yesterday getting it all organized. And heres the GREATEST thing of all....... I got it all for $4.00 total. The lady who sold it was a retired seamstress. How lucky was that.!!!!! I don"t mean to brag, but I needed this fix. I was getting low on fabric and I cannot buy new right now.

Thank's everyone.
I am still smileing.... As soon as I am done reading everything on this board I am going to start making some table runners with the red white and blue fabric for The 4th.
