[QUOTE=mcdaniel023;6135467]I went to a garage sale today. The quilter had just moved to assisted living. The daughter handed me a grocery bag and said $2.00 a bag. I filled two bags and picked out three books and spent a grand total of $5.00. There is a total of 56 yards of quilt shop quality. I felt a little guilt until the guy working said, jokingly I think, If I came back at 3 he would give me my money back if I took everything that was left. I told him, my hubby would never let that happen. LOL![/QUOTE

congratulations!

i have hit two yard/estate sales like that in recent years. hubby at my side helping me load the truck. if i had been lucky enough to visit this one, i could have phoned him and said "bring the other truck! you won't believ what i found!" and he would have. he's my fabric huntin' buddy ) ..i go thru hauls like this and pull out what i know i will never use because of color, style, print whatever and share w quilt friends or donate to thrift shop after offering to local church quilt groups. looks like you got some wonderful older calico fabrics. i-net friend & i were comparing notes the other day about our 80's & 90's calico stashes. how much we loved the calicos from those decades.
