Congratulations on your great find. I guess I go to the wrong thrift stores as I never seem to find fabric, but you lucked out, got out of the rain, found a bargain and re-energized yourself for the trip home.

God bless people who donate to thrift stores. They have been such a help to when I was raising my kids and they still help my budget!

My niece wants to learn to sew, I plan to get the machine all checked out and oiled and then gift it to her. The fabric will be a nice boost to my stash.
