LTeacher--the goodwill outlet is in the former Famous Barr warehouse. E 64, exit vandeventer left --then stay in right lane for a half block, take a quick right--immediately b/f the hiway overpass--go down 1-2 blocks and it's on the right side. very bare bones but air conditioned, they bring out stuff every few minutes. it gets very crowded. students/artists like it for bargains as does everyone else.
RkayD--I got scared of the rules too... no mistakes means no learning ...i'm jumping in!!
MadQuilter..I "feel" your moniker!! thanks
As I am cutting things up, I'm learning used clothing needs lots and lots of sizing.
The fabric may be cheap, but the labor (time investment) is intense.
I'm going to be more selective next time.
Perhaps look for more out of the ordinary stuff that I can't buy in yardage.
(but I'm having trouble cutting into the vintage japanese fabric I scored on at Goodwill --another lesson in uncertainty)
I'm looking for block patterns to have fun with. no quilt in mind, just practice making fun blocks with my strips & blocks; I'm looking in Mary Ellen Hopkins It's OK if you sit on my Quilt book. I'm going to look for the other books mentioned earlier, when I complete my cutting goals.
