OMG I WAS so excited so the lady gave me her phone number and address and "hopefully" Saturday I will be able to go get some. She said it was all 100% cotton. And she has yardage not just pieces.
And to think, I wasn't going to go to Walmart, but Joann's was closed.

Well....I just now got back from the ladies house. OMG I cannot tell you how much fabric there was OH MY LORD!!! There were Count them 10 big huge plastic tote buckets that are long CHOCKED FULL OF FABRIC. PLUS AN ARMY DUFFLE BAG STUFFED TO THE GILLS AND AND A OVER SIZED canvas bag AS FULL AS FULL CAN BE.
I was overwhelmed with all the fabrics. I opened one tote and asked the lady to tell me how much she wanted for ALL OF IT. I just couldnt go through all those totes one by one because I would want ALL OF THE FABRICS. So she did.......
HOPE YOUR ALL SITTING ON YOUR BUTTS because if your not...YOUR GONNA BE!!! $50.00 FOR ALL OF IT. I am headed out to the van to take a picture of all of it. She kept the totes, so we had to pour them all out into the back of the van. I am so exctited. So off I go to see what I ended up with. I will post pictures as soon as I can.
