Scored again! Purchased 22 yds of fabric for quilting stash and 14 yds of sewing fabric (for making mother's skirts). Quilting fabric cost was $.89 a yard and sewing fabric was $.85 a yard. The best purchase was the blue and yellow log cabin wall hanging. The wall hanging even had a label attached to the back!

I have begun keeping a record of my thrift store stash building fabrics on an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of actual costs of the quilts I build. I am doing the same with new quilting fabric purchases. Can you tell that in my former working life I was a bookkeeper/office manager?

Great job. I got some fabric at garage sale this weekend too. Big piece was $3 and is about 7 yards, 2 small pieces $1 each and both are over a yard a piece. In the laundry basket for today.

Yes, I am also washing all of my thrift store fabric now after reading the horror stories about bringing home bed bugs. But I sure hate the ironing!

I've found that most fabrics "hand-press" fairly well when I take them out of the dryer.

I wait until just before cutting to press my fabrics.

sad to think a nice wall quilt wound up in the thrift store. Love the colors.

great find

Bernice needs to rewrite her gift list. Beautiful hanging.
