Default Adding to my Stash!

DH & I spent a few hours carousing garage sales yesterday and got some GREAT fabrics! Seven pieces in the first photo are 3 yards each, another is 4 yards. The second photo's pieces are about a yard on a couple, a few fat quarters and three fat 1/8 bundles. Total fabric is about 28 yards, all for $18.00. It's now all washed, dried and folded, now just have to sort by color and convince the rest of my stash to make room!

It sort of LOOKS like birds, but they're just sort of "V" shapes. Interesting fabric- it's 4 yds...paid $1 for it!

What a great find! I've never come across fabric at a yard sale.

Wow..yes it sure looks like you have increased your stash! I've been working on ordering beige and neutrals to mine. I never bought any before. I am not drawn to pastels...but have to have them in my stash.
