So...today I was driving down the road..when I noticed a new sign "Thrift Store"...so I did a u-turn and went back. Who could resist? Right?
It was a small room attached to a mechanics garage. Very dirty..and very unorganized..but he was telling me they just opened and they get their stuff at estate auctions. As I rummaging through everything looking for treasures..I casually asked him if he ever comes across any fabric at these estates. He asked me, "You mean...like bolts?" I nodded.

wait for it....................

He said, "Yeah, sometimes..I just use it up as shop rags."

I think he can still hear me screaming in his ears as he lays his head on his pillow, tonight.

Well comfort yourself that maybe it was bolts polyester double knit and not cottons.

I have a brother who calls my quilting items "STUFF". He claims it should all be thrown away.

oldpiglady

my whole family has always had that opinion. From the very beginning. I finally quit talking about it with them... They were stealing my joy. .

when he saw my reaction...I guess my mouth was hanging open...he asked, " do you mean all that flowery stuff?" Oh....men!

Especially if she let him know how much he could've sold it for and bought more oil and grease!
