WOW! Talk about being in the right place at the right time! Congratulations!

joyce888 09-26-2011 07:53 AM

WOW - most of the time I don't comment on yard sale, thrift store, etc finds but you REALLY hit pay dirt. (Umm wonder where that saying came from?)

milikaa1 09-26-2011 08:53 AM

Your story reminds me of the Ikea commercial, you got an awesome deal.

MargeD 09-26-2011 09:14 AM

What a bargain you found. You're right sometimes people just do not know the value of fabric, 50 cents for all that fabric - awesome.

momcpo 09-26-2011 09:16 AM

lucky you!

wraez 09-26-2011 10:10 AM

Very nice. I wish I could find deals like that here.

I just stood there for a minute and then said thanks and ran out to the car just in case she changed her mind. Sometimes it helps if people don't know that much about quilting or fabric. With the price of fabric today I just came away with a great deal. 3 yards of fabric for .50.

Pardon me for correcting you, but you "got 3 yards 'of fabulous' fabric for $.50!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Tinabug 09-26-2011 01:46 PM

I would say that's a nice deal. I laughed at your comment about sometimes people don't know that much about quilting or fabric. I try to pull it off, when I go in and ask about any old "portable"(full-well meaning featherweight) sewing machines available to use for parts. So far, it hasn't worked.

luce321 09-26-2011 02:17 PM

Wow! What a find. I never find any fabric at our thrift stores.

CarrieAnne 09-26-2011 02:38 PM
