Finally, a garage sale score!
4 Attachment(s)
I found a listing for a garage sale on my local Craigslist yesterday. It was titled "Sewer's Dream Sale". I've been on a fabric diet but thought I could score a good deal on zippers so off I went. Oh, my! The seller's MIL had passed away and she had worked at Joann's for over 15 years. There was so much fabric, I tried to restrain myself. There were no scraps, everything was a 1 yd cut or more. I made my selections and took them to pay. The lady said $20, I said "No Problem!" I brought them home and washed and ruler folded them. Each fabric that I chose was 3 yards all the way up to 8 yards. The last light blue fabric on the right is an 8 yard cut of flannel. I measured and I got 70+ yards of fabric for $20!!! The last picture is the four fabrics that are my favorites out of the whole lot!

Wow! You did score at that sale!
|
Green with envy here! :hunf: 70+ yards for $20? That's a ten-star score!!!
|
Goodies! Fun, fun.
|
Ca Ching, you hit the jackpot!
|
You got a wonderful deal. Many possibilities there.
|
WOW!!! Wish it was me, although I don't know where I can stash any more until I get organized---again (lol).
|
You got a wonderful deal.

Wish there were garage sales like that in South Dakota. - Oh wait - when I die there probably will be one consisting of all my fabric. Back to the sewing room to use up some more!

|
Wonderful find...Good for you.....
|
Lucky you! I don't think they have deals like that here!
|
Wow!! You totally scored!
|
Sometimes you have to go off your diet. At least there are no calories to count and it won't raise your cholesterol levels. probably really lowered your blood pressure. Where else are you going to get that much fabric for less than $.30 a yard? Nothing like making out like a "FAT RAT" as my father used to say.
|
Did you yell "BINGO"?
|
Congratulations on a wonderful blessing.....
|
Congrats! Lots of fun quilts in your future!
|
Wow Great score. Congrats
