It looks like a great deal, especially the thread, although you may want to sort the fabrics and check if they are all 100% cotton. There may be different fabrics mixed in, depending on what kind of sewing she did.

That's exactly what I was thinking. And we all know thread costs more than a $1.

well if you had more than ten yards at $16.00 a yard, yes I would think you did well.

Just the fact that he purchased it makes it a great deal! DH's like that are hard to find. Big hug for the guy that said Yes, I'll take it! I hope that there was a happy dance in your kitchen when he brought it home.

I agree - looks like a good deal to me, and a great loving husband. Looks like a win-win.

I have a question your statement -- [the husband's owner offered to sell]--did you mean the owner's husband?
That was a good amount of fabric and thread for the price, but if the fabric and thread didn't belong to him why was he the one selling it? Had she past away? If not, I am curious if she knew he was selling her fabric and thread.

Yes I meant owner's husband. The owner of the fabric passed away over a year ago and decided to sell her sewing material. My husband drove down there to by the desk and brought back the fabric and thread too.

As for hugging my husband and giving him a kiss, that is easy, he is incredible!!! He was just wondering if he got a good deal so I told him I would ask.
