Silk, cotton, rayon/blends etc. I go for the cottons and a couple tapestry types for carry bags/totes. This is a picture of what I took home today. Also quilters/sewing folks bring in their not needed fabrics and its up for anyones taking. I also picked up a bag with approx. 25 spools of cotton thread all new. I am in a serious piece of heaven. How sad they throw this stuff away. How luck someone picks it up so I can go snag some!
Elisabrat,
where is this mother lode of fabric dispersed? I went online and the info was fuzzy at best. How do you actually get the fabric?
Thanks!
Kind Regards,
MaryAnna
