Adding to my Stash!
 
2 Attachment(s)
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! :eek:

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

I think I need to move to where there are garage sales! Great stash builder and pretty fabrics.

LoisM 09-15-2012 12:08 PM

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

nygal 09-15-2012 12:14 PM

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.

Great looking fabrics. You made out good !!

AUQuilter 09-15-2012 06:00 PM

Great shopping find! You got some nice yardage there.

LynnM 09-15-2012 06:08 PM

Great finds! I love it when I score fabric when going to yard sales. I often find fabric for my stash at Salvation Army, Goodwill, or local thrift shops along with a quilting book once in a while :-)

i am JEALOUS!

Mariposa 09-15-2012 06:49 PM

What fun finds! :)

Great finds! I haven't found fabric like that at yard sales, but, recently came into a lot of quilting magazines for 25 cents a piece. If ever you can't find room in your stash for that first patriotic print, you know where to find me LOL
Kudos!

A great find what pretty Fabric,great way to build that stash up!

Bluelady 09-15-2012 10:02 PM

Nice finds! I usually never find much fabric at garage sales around here.

heather1949 09-16-2012 03:02 AM

Wow i like them all but my fave is purples down the bottom.

What a nice addition to your stash. I am sure your old stashes will make room for the new stashes and mingle together just great.

What a great find. Aren't garage sales wonderful?

Pieces2 09-17-2012 05:04 AM

You had a great productive morning. :) Time to make some quilts!

lue 09-17-2012 05:23 AM

Don't you just love a bargain! I have the black one that looks like rings on a tree (2nd from left).

I was at a garage sale a few weeks ago that my friend and I drove 2 1/2 hours to go to in Packwood, WA. The whole town is taken over by people who come in to sell their stuff from all over the area for 2 days! It's like Goodwill on STEROIDS! There was one new fabric dealer and a woman was buying fabric for her stash and said she had just had a yard sale where she sold hundreds of yards of fabrics for $1 per yard and she has a sale every year. I started to salivate for HER yard sale!

What a haul! Congrats on the load.

sunny42539 09-17-2012 09:58 AM

I wish they sold fabric at yard sales here. You made a good haul.

Looks like it was a good garage sale day.

Jingle 09-17-2012 05:42 PM

Good for you, I see some great colors. GW,SA and garage sales around here usually have junky stuff and clothing.
