No Goodwill Fabric Here :-(
#31
We just had a Goodwill shop open. I went on Tuesday bc that was my day to run errands. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I got a senior discount of 25%. I found designers tops, that I would never pay full price for. Also 4 pieces of fabric, two suitable for quilting and the other two for clothing. I'll be going back often on Tuesdays.

Our Goodwill and fabric is a hit and miss thing
we have a goodwill not far from where i live and I pop in whenever I'm in that area..Sometimes plenty and sometimes nothing.
Cost for most items of fabric is .99cents. Last time I found some was all packaged up in a plastic bag...About 3 yards or so and was only .99...I got it and it looks great and I can use it.

I find in Goodwill that the people who work there are not familiar with the word 'fabric' Next time, just go where the sheets and blankets are hanging. Usually I find something useful in the way of fabric at the beginning of that section. I make Crib Quilts and to keep the cost down, I go to Good will or Salvation Army for new fabric for them. 2 weeks ago, I purchased from SA 2 yards of fabric for $1.75 and this week I purchased 2 yards to $2.50 from GoodWill. Both good quality, just different retailers. SA less expensive on everything. Plus, according to records, their CEO get paid less than any others at any thrift store.

I've been in the process of making a red/black/white quilt for my hubby for several years. I was at Goodwill in my town recently and found the perfect backing. It will make the quilt totally reversible. It's a humongous border fabric. 15" strip of totally MOD flowers. The rest is a large block repeat of red with white dots and a stylized flower. There's 5-1/2 yards so I can have the perfect backing. I think I paid $4.
This week I found a four yard piece of Kona Bay fabric (Hawaiian flowers) for $3.

After someone posted about going to Hancocks the other day I went to ours and got some fabric for backings on my charity quilts for $1.00 per yard and one piece for $2.00 also found out that they have 15% off every first Wednesday of the month for senior over 55. Know where I'm going because we most always got to town on Wednesdays.
