Remember Piece Goods? Probably one of the first all fabric/craft stores. It sure was a lot easier and cheaper to build a stash in those days (but it was just as addictive).
Even though the quality wasn't LQS, I loved Piece Goods! I was a new quilter on a tight budget and PG was "my place"!!!! I still have a quilt top waiting for a border made with fabrics from Piece Goods....I got in over my head with the piecing and by the time I finally finished, PG was closed so I couldn't match any fabrics for the border :(
