I was doing some errands today and have taken to stopping and/or at least driving by the garage sales with signage. The third one I stopped at looked like it had some materials just placed on top of a box for $3 and another group for $6.

Well, did I misjudge! The husband who was sitting in the garage said his wife used to work at JoAnnes, and never brought anything home but material. He's much happier now that she is working at Target and willing to get rid of all this stuff.

I spent $35 and got 49 yards of good quality material! That's about $0.71 per yard! And only the turtles one doesn't feel top quality! Will go back on Saturday afternoon and see if she has anything left and has cut her prices!
You GO girl, lucky find!
