What a great find! I bet when you got home you sat down and went through each piece. I would have done the same thing. Congratulations!

Congratulations!!

I think I do also, have never found fabric in my GW, and only find very scrappy pieces of cotton in the SA. But, one of these days??????????????

nanquilt 03-16-2011 08:10 PM
You are so fortunate. What store did you buy the fabric?

penski 03-16-2011 08:41 PM
wow great deal wtg!!!

doowopddbop 03-16-2011 10:51 PM
Whaaat?? That is wonderful!!

Just looked at your location - you're in a highly populated area, its hard to find useable stash in our sparsely populated area of NW Montana - too rural for lg volumes of anything. I am excited for anyone who hits the jackpot in recycling fabric finds!

I'm green with envy.

lurag 03-17-2011 03:49 AM
I didn't even know that Goodwill sold fabric, next time I will stop into the one at the town I go to shop at and check theirs out.

GrandmaLola 03-17-2011 08:58 AM
I NEVER find anything at Goodwill! Lucky girl!

Rumbols 03-17-2011 09:03 AM

Lucky lucky you. I love thrift stores!!

janetter 03-17-2011 11:39 AM
Gotta find me some GoodWill Stores. Dont know the area well enough yet

Eileen 03-17-2011 05:02 PM
What a find. I never see fabric in our local Goodwill store. I guess everyone here just keeps all their fabric.

Nettie Phillips 03-17-2011 05:27 PM
I say Lucky you too.

Quiltbin 03-18-2011 07:32 AM
Wonderful! Very happy for you!!

Did anybody ask "How do you acquire a stash?"

CarolLady 03-19-2011 05:08 PM
I haven't seen any fabric at the Goodwill close to me either. But I will keep looking... lol

I too live in an area not too populated so peeps hang on to their stuff or sell it. I would like to say that most finds for everyone are hit or miss....you're more likely to hit by visiting often. Our GW puts all crafts in a bin including the fabric. SAVERS hangs theirs on hangers, SVDP is on a shelf and SA hangs theirs up too. Always remember, workers at many charieties have first dibs B4 the public......probably not what the person donates would want to know.

And purple is MY favorite color. Lucky you!!!
