Congrats to you on you terrific find.
Thrift store finds are the best.I go out at least once a monthand come home with pieced quilt tops in the bags. Keep searching the stores we all get lucky once in a while. |
Wow....what a find! I want to take you shopping with me!

Wow I never find these great treasures at thrift stores! The local Goodwill has been charging outrageous prices and they told me they throw away fabrics, threads, beads, all that kind of stuff!

My daughter and I went to a thrift store and there were three 'bags' there. I picked up two and she said go ahead and get the third. Glad I did. LOL It had the best 'stuff' in it. Don't you just love things like that?

What a find. I would be in heaven to find that. Happy sewing.

Well, put it in a will--what to do with your stuff. It is too valuable to throw in a dump. if they don't want to mess with it, at least they should offer it on free cycle or give to a charity or organization that makes quilts for others.
I agree! Put it in a will. Thats what I have. Its all going to folks I know that sew, quilt, embroider, serge, etc. Quilt guilds are a good source to donate it all to. I've already donated a few sewing machines I had stored in a shed to one of the local quilt guilds. I upgraded my machines so gave it to them to have for use when they meet for folks to use. |
Wow! What a find! "One man's trash is another man's treasure!" I go often to thrift stores too. I once bought cover for a baby bassinet that had rows & rows of fabric & lace. Bought a ruffled tiered skirt of valentine theme for $1, yds of fabric. I look for sheets & pillowcases too...

Nice find! Wish I could find goodies like that in a thrift store.
