Alright you ask for it. Here is the fabric I purchased at Goodwill for less than $34 dollars. Yeah me!

Dina 03-20-2011 12:38 PM

Wow!!! If I counted right, you have 20 pieces of fabric!! Wow!!

SewMomma66 03-20-2011 12:39 PM

Yes for a total of 46.50 yards.

Yay you is right!! You made an awesome find.

I'm so jealous and happy for you!

annieshane 03-20-2011 12:41 PM

OMGosh!!! You did strike gold, and the mine! So happy for you, love the fabrics. I never find anything but junk at the local Goodwill shop. Guess the secret is to keep going until you hit the mine!

bigdogmom 03-20-2011 12:44 PM

Looks like a great haul!

sustraley 03-20-2011 01:08 PM

That is amazing. What a thrifty shopper.

CarrieAnne 03-20-2011 01:11 PM

Me either, I think they see me coming and hide the fabric!!!

MAN, looks like I need to come back to Florida! We never have any good stuff at our GoodWill Store.

Mariposa 03-20-2011 02:30 PM

Congrats on your great find!

neenee586 03-20-2011 02:32 PM

That is a lot of fabric! Our Goodwill sells fabric bundles for .69 each. I got 12.5 yards quilting quality last week for $2.07 (3) bundles. Yay!

Ann L 03-20-2011 02:41 PM

Yeah for you. They will make a very nice quilt.

Ann L 03-20-2011 02:41 PM

I need to come your way and go shopping at your goodwill. Ours doesn't have anything here.

pocoellie 03-20-2011 02:45 PM

earthwalker 03-20-2011 03:31 PM

linda701 03-20-2011 04:05 PM

Lucky you.

Jingle 03-20-2011 04:07 PM

Great deal and lots of pretty fabrics. Make some quilts and show us, please.

cassiemae 03-20-2011 04:19 PM

WOW what a find I also never find anything worth buying at the thrift shops I go to just polyester. Happy for you. :-)

quilt'nmomma 03-20-2011 04:20 PM

What area do you usually find the fabric in? I went to 3 Goodwills and 2 Salvation Army yesterday and didn't see any fabric at all.

xsquilter 03-20-2011 04:25 PM

Awesome lot! Generous pieces!

grugirl 03-20-2011 04:28 PM

Where does everyone find the stashes at the thrift stores?
I almost never find any fabric except for a few pieces hanging on hangers so they can charge way too much.

Did you get this as a lot or seperate pieces?

Aimee G 03-20-2011 04:30 PM

Wonderful! For some reason, I never find anything this good at thrift stores.

sewmuchmore 03-20-2011 04:48 PM

Wow !!! Boy you really hit the jack pot :thumbup: Enjoy happy sewing.

LAB55 03-20-2011 04:52 PM

Those are very familar looking- did you come shopping in my stash?? I can't find the money you left?? Maybe my kids are slowly giving my things away before I leave it all to them later!!

Great find- great colors.

gmaybee 03-20-2011 04:57 PM

Looks like a nice find.

Shunem 03-20-2011 05:09 PM

:mrgreen: Jealous! (good for you!)

Krystyna 03-21-2011 06:09 AM

Lucky you! After hearing about Goodwill, I search for one nearby and went there with high hopes. No luck. They had no fabric at all. I did find a pillow case made of fabric I liked and bought that - a little high at $1.99 but for a good cause. The girl at the shop told us about a fabric place down the road which we visited just before they closed. Great prices. Cottons at $4/yd.

nwm50 03-21-2011 06:23 AM

WOW.... nice fabric & not scraps !

Leota 03-21-2011 06:28 AM

That's only $1.70/piece!
How much is in each piece?

newbee 03-21-2011 06:32 AM

Congrats! I love our local Goodwills.

DeniseP 03-21-2011 06:41 AM
