You are not going to believe this but made history or something like that. Visited Goodwill Pound store again this Friday and you guessed it, I collected more material.
A lady standing next to me said to her husband "I wish I quilted". I said "I DO" and then she pointed me to even more materials. At the minute the pile is still in my car, don't think I need all this if I figure how to sell some, postage confusing I might put some up for you to share in the mother loads...

The local Goodwill store near me never has good fabric. Their prices seem to get higher and higher.

can have good and bad days at our store. Today I got 3 pieces less that 1/2 yd for $1 a peice. and a few bob the builder books free for my great nephew . On Friday the markets bring in all the day old bread after giving to food pantrys, all free.

if you need help let me know I have been getting good at the postage thing. you can also just do those flat rate boxes and squishies.

I was able to find a notebook full of quilt patterns and several widge rulers at our salvation army today. I don't find very much for quilting at ours.

I rarely find fabric in the thrift shops anymore. But, I rearely go thrifting anymore either. I guess I could go, but I never find anything there to speak of, so why go??

YOu are so lucky to find it by the pound! Wow!

We don't have a Goodwill Pound Store in our town and there is rarely any fabric or sewing machines or even quilting books in the store. The Goodwill puts this up on their auction site, Shopgoodwill.com. I have won some fabric but you can't look at the fabric before bidding so you usually wind up with junk. The people who list the fabrics don't know anything about them so they don't know if they are cotton, blends, polyesters, wool etc. They usually will list home dec fabric or upholstery fabric as winter weight quilting fabric!!!!

I love to shop at our local DAV. Goodwill stores here are kind of expensive.
