Thank Goodness for thrift stores. I LOVE thrifting and finding good quilting fabrics! Good for you!!!!!!!

I am wondering if the 13" fabric could be for valances ? I have also seen some rolls of narrow width fabrics at shops where they make costumes.

Oh I love it. So pretty!

Wonderful find and so cute! Many many possibilities for this fabric I would say.
Let me say that I don't know how you found such a bargain because if that were in my local GW store, it would have cost at least $15....no doubt. Our local GW store prices things at an unbelievably high price and sometimes even close to retail/new.... I just can't get a bargain there at all and rarely go inside for just that reason.

I agree - some times things are way over priced, I could buy them new at another store for the same price. I've also seen things super under priced - I felt sorry for the people bring out the merchandise to the floor yesterday. It was a like a farmer delivering the hay to the cow pasture - people were following them and pulling from the buggy.

Awesome!

I would be thrilled too. Some day I will get a good buy like that. :-D

Me either!!

Now what are you going to use it for? I'm curious because the 13' width is unusual.

I am either shopping at the wrong Goodwill Stores or I just don't know where to look for this stuff because I never find anything.

You scored, it is so much fun and you cannot go wrong with the price. I have two bags of fabric in my next to do list from goodwill to go through. I have to finish the fabric I got from a person who donated tons of clown fabric first.

How fun! I do like your ideas for the use of the fabric. It sounds like the fabric is very, very light weight. Might make great potpourri (spelled wrong for sure) bags for a quilt retreat "pillow gift" or a church ladies luncheon table favor. Lucky you. I love finding deals like that. My big find this week was digging my husband's deceased wife's Featherweight 221 from underneath our stairwell storage area. It's been buried there since before she died in 1984. I Took it to town for a tune-up and a once over and now I have a brand new 1954 FW that looks just like brand new. Spent $76 for the tune up and needed parts and cord PLUS, I was able to get a WALKING FOOT for it! I'm a happy storage room sleuth!!!! :lol: :-P ;) :thumbup:

Sorry I got this on the board twice????

Don't you love finding a bargain? Enjoy!

You are so lucky. I am going to keep my eyes open for buys like that. That is just the right depth (13 inches) for my dolls for sick kids.

If you never use it, I'd love to have it and I'd pay the postage and $1.50 for your cost. It is gorgeous.

Just kidding about sending it, as I'm sure you will be using it, but it is gorgeous, and perfect for Valentines day or something similar.

congratulations

SORRY. I ALSO GOT THIS ON TWICE.You are so lucky. I am going to keep my eyes open for buys like that. That is just the right depth (13 inches) for my dolls for sick kids.

Congrats on a great find!! Have fun with your new fabric :thumbup:

At first I thought the 13" was a typo...you know, 31" transposed. But after I read your second post....made me wonder the same thing. I have never seen fabric that narrow. Hmmmm.......wonder what it was made for?

You just reminded me of an article I saw about wrapping gifts (it was for paper but you could use fabric instead.) You could use it as ribbon on a big package or cut it smaller for smaller packages - and it's reusable ribbon :)

Lucky you!!! Great find!!!

Great find.

It even looks cheery!!

Great find!

Great find for you at GW. Sometimes do you think "yes I am supposed to stop.

That's great!! I love the thrift stores.

What are you going to do with it???

congratulations on a good deal. :lol:

Great find!

I've always loved polka dots!! I made a crazy unmatched 9 patch out of them, it was a blast. Even my "non-sewing friend" made 30 blocks. I'm sewing sashings and borders and quilting it for her b-day in August. Great find!! I love shopping the thrift stores. Pam

Congrats on the great find

very cute and some cute ideas for it's use. Seems like ya can't find polka dots much any more.

Love dots, you did great!

warm quilt hugs, sue in CA

Sweet

what a great find.

Good for you! Rainy days and Mondays can be great!!!

Love the idea of making Valentine's Day bags.They would be so cute and special.

:thumbup: :thumbup:

AWESOME! I live in an affluent area. We can find dynomite furniture at Good Will but fabric is unheard of.

Just in time for Valentine's day. wow, your daughters friends will be very happy.

I can't find anything thrifty in thrift shops any more. The prices here in ND are about the same as a sale item in Walmart, so why not buy new? I visited 2 today and am astounded that they can charge these prices on stuff they got free!! I walked by a very "out of style" mens sweater and it was marked $17.50!!! They had a bag sale at one - everything you could fit into a paper bag for $4 - but they'd emptied their racks into huge bins so you had it pick through it all. Is this happening everywhere?

WTG Kris, happy for you
