Great buy on batiks and project
For the first time at the Shipshewana miscellaneous auction 30 boxes of good quilting fabrics were there to be sold. A couple that had been making items to sell decided for health reasons to retire from their business. They had been going to throw the fabric away but the auctioneer who was helping them offered to bring it to the auction.
There were lots of boxes with small prints, reproductions, etc... and one box of batiks. I haven't use batiks much and decided to bid on that box so I could have some to work with without investing tons of money. When I got the bid for $22.50, I picked that box. When I got home and measured the fabric pieces, I was surprised to find I had over 50 yards of good fabric. About half the pieces were 3 or 4 yds each.
I've since made two projects. This quilted piece I used to make this bag was my first project. I've also made a wallhanging and will add that picture when I locate it.
