I met the sweetest women on Sunday. She was selling her mothers stash for $1.50 a pound. I was so excited. I took my daughter to help me (grab) pick out some nice stuff. She had so much fabric it was unreal. I bought 70 lbs of fabric. Took me all day to go through the fabric and fold and organize and just plan ol' try to figure out what to do with it.

all of the fabric

Huh, that's a new one. I've never heard of selling it by the pound before. But, I guess that works out to be a decent amount!

What bliss! Well done, there are some fantastic fabrics in that lot.

What a haul. Looks like some good size yardage in some pieces.

littlehud 07-26-2010 05:56 PM

More pics I have one that my son saw and goes mom thats the thing where they go "bong, bong" Like ohm ohm. Cracking me up. I have no idea how to use this piece I am not sure what the symbols are and or how to even look for the meaning.

Sun picture does anyone know what the symbols on the sun and moon represent?

Wow! Great find! Lots of really pretty fabric

Candace 07-26-2010 09:07 PM

I don't know what it means, but I can really see that as a centerpiece for an awesome quilt. Maybe FMQ around the sun or thread painting? Very cool. Even framed it would be cool!

dyer804 07-26-2010 09:20 PM

That should keep you busy for quite a while!

CherokeeGal 07-26-2010 09:32 PM

What a Stash Collection she had! Lucky Find, too! I Love her price! Enjoy Quilting! Enjoy Sewing! Enjoy the Pretty Fabric!

Rebecca VLQ 07-27-2010 03:38 AM

What a great deal! :D

raptureready 07-27-2010 03:59 AM

WOW, that's great! For people that don't know, a pound of fabric is approximately 4 yds. This was a buy! It's been awhile since I stumbled across a good deal like yours but I've found them in the past. May have to make a trip to Goodwill tomorrow--it's senior citizen 25% off day.

ToucanSam 07-27-2010 04:05 AM

Great haul!!!!! I'm envious!!!! :)

mygirl66 07-27-2010 04:55 AM

OMG! You hit the mother load of fabric! And by the pound? Thats different, cool tho! Awesome for you, good job!

quiltinghere 07-27-2010 04:58 AM

Great deal indeed.

I purchased by the pound before but it was $5.00/pound. I considered it a donation to the family.

Quilt4u 07-27-2010 05:00 AM

Wow!!!!!

Ann S. 07-27-2010 05:03 AM

WOW!!!! What a haul :thumbup:

wildyard 07-27-2010 01:24 PM

Sorry I don't know the meaning of the symbols on the sun and moon either, but they sure would make a great center panel for a quilt!! They contain some great colors to work with. Congrats on your great find and I know you will have fun playing with it. Hugs and smiles!

susie0808 07-27-2010 06:23 PM

Great find! I'm never that lucky!
