Golden D'or Fabrics, Dallas
 

I just got back from Golden D'or Fabrics. I bought 30 yds. of quilting fabric for $.99/yd. They are having their pre-inventory sale and everything in the backroom is really marked down---low. I was in line almost an hour to get fabric cut--but I saved a bundle. Those of you in the DFW area--if you are interested--the warehouse is located at 10795 Harry Hines Blvd., Dallas, Tx 75220. They also have a web site. http://www.goldendoroutlet.com/

Did they have any good quilting cottons this year?
I have a ton of fabric that I purchased from them over the years, mostly garnment fabric. But I'm into quilting now.
Arlington, TX

Thanks for the info. Will have to try to get by there.

We have bought from them as well - nice quality at good price.

I have to admit to something SAD about them. I ,too, got my notice about the sale so took my husband with me and we started really buying (going by their price in the e-mail) Long story short the sale was in the CLEARANCE room. I had a basketful and did not even go into that room. When they told me it was $200. I nearly choked. My husband just said "well, you wanted it and will use it,right? I feel like such a fool. I have noticed that getting older it is so much easier to get things wrong,or things to be somewhat confusing. I used to believe I was always right and now can't even come close to believing that !

I might have to grab a friend and head that way this weekend.....thanks for the info.

I know what you mean--
 

I almost made the same mistake and started to buy in the main part of the warehouse, but thankfully I asked about what I was getting ready to buy. When I got to the back room I was shocked--there were about 20 people lined up with really huge shopping carts already in line. I didn't have a cart so I just picked up bolts and stood in line (about 1 hr.) I believe there were many people buying for the whole next year--one lady bought whole bolts of chiffon--that lady was still having her stash measured when I left--she had at least 3 cart loads. When I got home I washed everything, however, I'm pretty sure it wasn't 100% cotton, but I can still use it. I bought mainly calico type fabrics. They also have 5 yd bolts that can't be cut for $2.50. (they are marked $5.00 but the discount is taken at the register). Today I found 100% cotton for $1.50/yd at the Home Fabrics and Rugs in Hurst http://www.homefabricsonline.com/loc.../39-hurst.html The man helping me there said he has seen about 3 quilters in his store everyday this week--the quilting fabric is in the very back of the store. Have fun!

I received there sale email I couldn't go to this one. I have been there many times. When I go to Ft Worth to visit my DD we always go there. I went the day after Thanksgiving to there sale was there 5hrs we had a blast lots of Great sales . Can't wait to go in March .

I wish.....

If you only use 100% cotton for quilts, be sure to look at the content. Walmart has had some of these fabrics and they usually say, "Fabric content undetermined." This is a great sale. Wish I still lived in Central TX, and I would go! It's a long way from Galveston. Do they still have plenty in stock?
