Went to a local rummage sale, it was kind of sad, husband died, and wife moving into assisted living. They were selling the "man stuff" out in the garage, and I just said, looking for quilting stuff. Took me downstairs and there low and behold was a cabinet full of stacked and sorted quilting fabrics. She said, make you a deal, $1 a yard and on the partial yards we will negotiate. We counted 163 yards and then gave her $10 for the mound of partials. $40 of it is going to the church for world relief because about 15 yards was cortoroy and the rest is blends. I suggested she keep the stuff that meant something to her. I bought a large cutting mat for $5 and my daughter got 60 cards of ribbons for $.25 each . No pictures, because I have to go organize it and cant take the time to lay it all out.

*drool*

Wow, sad for her but great deal for you. I'm sure she is happy all her fabric will be used, I know I would. Congrats on your find.

She was so thrilled that the fabric was going to a good home, and my DH understood because I have been using up all my stash, and he loves $1 a yard. Most of my stuff goes to family or benefits so it will be great for everyone.

What a find. I'm glad the dear ladies fabric found a good home. Have fun with your new found stash.

What a bargin.

LOL same here!

Congratulations on your good find.

I am sooo happy for you!

It's the same with doll collections! Antique dolls belonged to someone else before me, and will belong to another someone when I leave this world. I cherish each one partly for that... It's a beautiful thing, love!
