OMG!! I thought I'd made a great find when I found an unused box of Christmas cards for $2.00 :)

What a great find!! I agree with you, Lori, I use muslin the same way.

I would love to have such nice muslin in that amount. I make cloth dolls out of muslin and good stuff is hard to find. Like you said, too thin. I also use it as background for hand applique quilt blocks. Great find and buy. :):):)

I often use muslin for fabric dying or whole cloth painting.
