It was called "timeless treasures". The owner explained to me that she buys back leftover fabrics from her customers for $5 per pound. It is all prewashed and she cuts it up in various sizes and resells it. I was able to get enough for a nice size "couch size" quilt top for @$12. I just thought it was a really nice idea- a way she could support "going green" and I could support my habit on the cheap. ;-)

When I get back home I'm going to tell my LQS and see if it's something they might start.
I was there too! What a lovely shop with a lovely owner! It was a highlight of the trip. I bought stuff and loved the visit. Thanks for bringing up the memory.
