The backing yardage is really nice, and probably cost $48 when it was purchased. Great find!

Good for you, I have to take my daughter and start hitting thrift stores, she loves to do it, looking for a cheap FW and fabric. Happy and can't wait to see what you make.

Wow, congrats! I would love a deal like that!!

We might go back to town today. I am working on another project and I may need a softer wood from Lowe's. All my nails were bending when I was hammering them. It didn't look good..lol So a side trip to the thrift store maybe in the cards. :)

SCORE! To find batiks is amazing, and that the other lady didn't snatch them up is incredible!

callie 04-02-2013 09:32 AM

What a fantastic find. Congrats & know you will make use of it for sure.

caspharm 04-02-2013 09:42 AM

What luck! Enjoy!

Jim's Gem 04-02-2013 10:12 AM

Great find! I have NEVER found fabric at our thrift stores. At least no fabric suitable for quilting.

Rose_P 04-02-2013 12:17 PM

Green with envy here! Congrats! I know you'll put it to great use.

josykatz 04-02-2013 03:06 PM

What a fantastic find. I love hitting the thrift shops. It is always hit or miss what you find. Seems it was your day to hit the jackpot!

Enjoy

Wow! I'm jealous, but happy for your great find. :)

shirleyd 04-02-2013 06:38 PM

That's fantastic! I love batiks and those are beautiful. I visit thrift stores fairly often but have yet to find such a deal! The hunt is fun but it would be nice to find a treasure. I'll keep trying!

Me, too......the green and gold, I mean. This is the kind of fabric that had I seen it, I'd have to have it. Love at first sight. The others are very nice, too, but that's my fav.

It is gorgeous in person. I have no idea what I am going to use it for.

But the black and red is going on a couple of wall hangings. I found the pattern for that project at Goodwill for 2 dollars.

slk350 04-02-2013 09:15 PM

You hit the jackpot, I love batiks

nancia 04-03-2013 12:19 AM

rebeljane 04-03-2013 04:40 AM

I wish I could find bargains like that, lucky you :)

nstitches4u 04-03-2013 01:57 PM

Good score!

richardswife 04-03-2013 04:42 PM

Wish I could be so lucky.:mad:

jojo47 04-07-2013 11:40 AM

I can't be envious of someone who loves batiks as much as I do! Congrats on your find!

There is a new Goodwill store nearing completion in the small city I work in, and I'm hoping fo find bargains like yours (eventually), but what I'm REALLY looking for is a FW sewing machine. I want one for my sister as a thank you for all the times I've stayed with her when I visit her in Bozeman!

normasews 04-07-2013 02:15 PM

Great find!! Lucky you!

mountain deb 04-07-2013 03:48 PM

I bet you could not get the money out of your pockets fast enough or God help anyone who got between you and that fabric.

sew1 04-07-2013 04:02 PM

Just some cotton here, once in a while. No batiks or I would have them. Congrats on the great find.

Rosebird 04-10-2013 09:30 AM

what a lucky find, there's always a treasured to be found! That's your lucky day indeed, enjoy and we are here to wait and see the finished project ( quilt, anything, wall hanging, bed etc.) thank you so much for sharing your treasured find1

owlvamp 04-10-2013 09:33 AM

Beautiful fabric. Happy sewing!

TexasGurl 04-10-2013 12:46 PM

Woo hoo ! What a deal you got ...
wish I could find such goodies at our Goodwills, they never have good fabric or quilts ... or maybe I'm too slow getting there ... !
