I have the butterflies fabric, too. I always look but have never found any fabric.

lalaland 01-16-2011 12:20 PM

Lucky you!! Either my Goodwill never gets this stuff or someone else is always one step ahead of me!

annpryor 01-16-2011 12:22 PM

That butterfly fabric in 2nd pic looks like one I bought this past summer only in diffferent colors. Very nice find.

How beautiful. I never see fabric like that in my Goodwill.

rona thickpenny 01-17-2011 01:34 AM

How come I never find stuff like that !!!!!

MillieH 01-17-2011 10:51 AM

I see a couple that would be great for children's quilts. My grandson (age 7) would love the one with all the bugs in a "fussy cut" pattern.

kittykatz2001 01-17-2011 12:14 PM

Second photo, bottom left. I have that fabric except the butterflies are turquoise not pink. It,s about 20 years old.

I picked up a bedskirt at Goddwill last week for $3. Each side is 18" long and is a blue and white stripel I figured it was a great buy, Heavy cotton.

QweenBee 01-17-2011 08:56 PM

OMGoodness, are you willing to swap or sell the fabric with the bees on it?????

Friendly Quilter 01-17-2011 08:58 PM

Great find.

missionslady 01-17-2011 09:08 PM

Wow! That is a great find! I did that one time several years ago; just happened to be in the right place at the right time. They were just taking fabric out of a cart and putting it on the shelf. I pushed my buggy over and asked the lady if she could just load it in mine. I did put a few back, but most I kept and used to make charity quilts. I also found the perfect fabric to make a quilt for my grandson. It was several yards of a fabric that was still in stock at JoAnn's; in fact, they still have that fabric. It made the nicest quilt, and I was so happy to have found such a treasure at such a good price. You enjoy!!!

Mariposa 01-17-2011 09:15 PM

From someone's good luck at GW not long ago, I decided to check the bed linens dept. at GW. I found two king-sized sheet sets--Ralph Lauren, 100% cotton (looks like Egyptian cotton, too) for $3 a set. Both look as good as purchased yard goods right off the bolt. Lots of good quilt lining material for pennies--and wide, too. I had baby quilts in mind, so I have enough from these sheets to line several.

biscuitqueen 01-18-2011 08:58 PM

WOW I love the bugs and bright colors

oma66 01-18-2011 09:21 PM

WOW!! You hit the jackpot! I bet they are going to end up in beautiful creations. Can't wait to see.

skydiver70 01-18-2011 09:22 PM

Depending on size, I see a bug in a jar project out of one of them.

jdavis 01-25-2011 05:00 PM
