A happy, happy quilter!!!
 
3 Attachment(s)
We spent the morning exploring estate and garage sales and ran into a couple of fantastic fabric deals! I bought part of what is pictured below at an estate sale and part at a garage sale, for a total of 29+ yards of fabric, plus the extra pieces already cut that were in several separate baggies! Some of the pieces are quite large, with one being 6 yards, another at 5 yards and some at 2 1/2 yards.

If I were to just average it out at about $7 a yard it would all come to over $200, not counting the extra pre-cut pieces!

ALL of this for a grand total of only $10.

I'm a happy camper...er...quilter! lol :D

Watching these bargains makes me want to go to more garage sales!

craftyheart2 06-09-2012 02:48 PM

Very lucky. Here in Tasmania I hardly ever see fabric suitable for quilting at garage sales or op shops.

Grandma Peg 06-09-2012 03:13 PM

Wow, what a great day you had.

pmrosie 06-09-2012 03:14 PM

I guess I have to start attending garage/estate sales!

terri bb 06-09-2012 03:21 PM

Helen S 06-09-2012 03:27 PM

Funny, Terri! lol You're probably right, since DH actually ASKS for fabrics and machines, etc, when we arrive at each and every sale. lol

krysti 06-09-2012 07:41 PM

Wow! What a score! I keep telling my DH about all these wonderful yard sale finds that people on this board find; and that I hope to score like that someday. Went to several yard sales yesterday and today; no luck :( guess it's not my turn yet.

Congratulations to you! Don't you just love yard sales and estate sales? I went to yard sales with my sister in Indiana Saturday and found quite a bit of fabric in an antique store. I paid about $5 for the fabric and a sack full of lace trim. Love a bargain.
