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.

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.

I went back to the ladie's house and she gave me, free, her sewing cabinet and all her last scraps of fabric. The cabinet is bigger than my old one, so I hauled it in, it was very heavy, and upgraded....
|
Great find
|
It is always great to come across those kind of deals. Congrads on your finding.
|
Oh, I went back and they gave me all the scraps they found in the house and also a beautiful sewing cabinet with the door on the left side underneath, for free. It weighed a ton and my DH wanted to know what I was going to do with it, and I told him "upgrading from my other cabinet". LOL

Yipeee!! Good for you!
