Nice haul! My DD lives about two blocks from a Goodwill 'by the pound' store. I am so jealous!

Lucky YOU

WOW great find, I wish our goodwill had fabric, I keep looking but never get lucky enough to find any

If a few of us had been there it would have been a 'fabric fight' to get those wonderful pieces.

Great find. You did really good.

Oh, I could be truly jealous! But, I am very happy for your good fortune. We just don't have good fabrics at our local Goodwill store. In fact, sometimes things are higher there than you can buy brand new at one of the chains.

Great purchase! I have never heard of a Goodwill # store.

What a find.....I've been frequenting the stores after reading so many stories similar to yours. Have yet to find even a single piece of fabric.....You struck pay dirt as they say....big time. Enjoy your treasures.

Wow!That's a great price.

OMGoodness!!!!! You really scored a big one on that!!!!!! I've never heard of a Goodwill Pound Store! :?

what a geat deal.

Great find. I never find fabric at any of the thrift stores

let the quilting begin :-D :-D

Fantastic!

We have a Goodwill pickup box in our town but no store, I used to shop at the Goody store when I was 16 and a newly wed, We would take my mother in law to Stockton ,Calif and shop for her , she had several little girls, no money then on to Sallys , this was before Garage sales at the local churches,we loved it , and today I still shop at St Vincents , I work there and put out real cheap yarn and materials, lots of polyster and a few pieces of cotton, you never know the jewels you might find shopping the second hand stores, :thumbup:

What a find!! So happy
for you. Hugs, Sharon

That is truly amazing.

My eye caught your name and then read your comment. I'm in Jax too. Care to share the store name/street corner? I always read about these great deals but don't know where to look. Thanks.

Goodwill doesn't seem to carry alot of Fabric but I have found alot at Salvation Army, Church Thrift Stores,
but at Goodwill according to Bonnie Hunter you buy the XXL or so Shirts take off the cuffs,collar,pockets,throw them away than cut off the sleeves,by the time your done you could have about 2yds or more of fabric,Im going to give it a try

I never did realize how much interest my msg would show.
The Goodwill pound store is off I-10 and Edgewood St on Lenox Ave and open about 9 am until 3 and then Sat until noon. They roll out bins on and off while your there, different items, some new with tags on like jackets, blouses, men's pants and etc. There are shelves with bins that have other items like knick knack, kitchen items, toys in bins, shoes several bins some new and several bins of books. You need to try and get a grocery cart to shop, some times you have to ask someone checking out for their cart when they are finish with it. On thrift stores look at hanging sheets and you will find pieces of material. I have also gotten curtains or valances and taken them apart and used the material for my quilt. So many things you can do with what is available. Just think QUILT when you shop, maybe a cotton large skirt with a wonderful pattern, cheap, can be washed and then open seams and let your mind go dancing...

Send me a private msg and will give you phone number or such. What part of town do you live in? Maybe you would like to join us at the Chaffee Libary on Mondays.

Is your birthday 19 Aug

Yeeeeehaaaw!

Boy I never found anything that good at our pound store!!!

This is the pile of material from the Goodwill Pound store
Part 2. Not as much but its a bunch to sew on...

I have never found fabrics in our Goodwill store that is a fab find you are so lucky.

I have never hear of that - by the pound?? Way cool - nice haul.

Wish we had a sale like that here. You done real good.

That's great! I got some quilting and sewing rulers at Good Will also for about $1.50 a piece I was so excited!! I buy alot of material there. On Wed. and Thurs. Senior Citizens get 20% off everything in the regular store.

Ohhhh lucky you!

Last Friday we decided not to visit the pound store for a change and went to an estate sale a street away from my house. I asked the gal who let the next few of us in from the long line if there was any quilt materials or such. She stated she had no idea. Well on the 3rd bedroom there it was, bags of material or some with tape around it $2.00, $1.50 and etc. Naturally I had to help my self. Also found a small quilt with pillow to match in the oh what was that name Dresden plate I do believe, $8.00 for set. Well my DIL is starting to quilt now...yeah!! and wanted to do this pattern so will give this set to her. Then we went to another part of town that had a new Hospice Thrift shop and low and behold baggies of material, 25 cents, 50 and $1.00 nice bags full of different kinds of cute materials.
So guess I did not miss the Pound store this week, I need to stop shopping and more sewing????? Do you think??

I always miss the sales darn it. Now that you have all that material maybe you better get busy at the sewing machine. LOL
