That's fantastic!! I stopped at a few garage sales last week but didn't find a thing I could use for my quilting. DH grumbled the entire time...looks like I need to find a garage sale buddy in my area!!! :-D

Wowsers!!! YOu did great! I stopped by Friday after work, this is what I got for $15.00 I firgued just over 15 yards, if it had been a fabric store, at $5.00 a yard (guessing) plus tax it would of cost me over $80.00! Beautiful fabric, very nice quality. I decided then I need to go to estate sells and garage sales as much as possible. I can save a bundle! It is just smart!

You did very well! Good deals you found. Lucky you. I never find fabric at Garage Sales or Thrift Shops. Wish I did. Good job ladies on our purchases. I keep looking. :-D
