Default Wtg!!

You DID score! wow...I never find any fabric in my local stores, unless I find a good deal on a plaid mens shirt to add to my collection of plaids ala Bonnie Hunter.

Have fun putting these great deals to use

None are marked on the selvage as to who made it but it feels like good solid fabric. Nice and clean, too, and no fading on the folds - someone obviously took good care of their fabric.

WOOHOO! I feel like I really scored.

There is not a thrift store around that I have not been to at one time or another. Sometimes I find good deals sometimes not. The hunt is half the fun, though. Keep on thrifting...

I live in a small town and can never find much of the sewing line and fabric in our thrift stores. This is a great find for you. I am happy for your great score.
