What a find. Awesome - can't wait to see what you do with it.

wow, what a treasure, you should frame some of the fabric with the price tag, and a picture of your grandma

actually, that blue (?) and green (?) is a lot like amy butler fabrics. or some of the kaffe fassets. what goes around comes around.

Love the blue/green print! Reminds me of some I bought to make a tent dress out of when I was in college.

Ain't that the truth! I was in the fabric department of Hobby Lobby and could have SWORN it was a 70's flashback! LOL

Totally! That's exactly what I thought, too! I think you need to make a funky shopping bag out of it. That way you can use it all the time and remember your grandma. I love finding things in thrift stores with the price tags on them! Awesome!

Great find! I gotta say, that "groovy" fabric doesn't look so different than the stuff they are selling now! Have fun with it. Too bad we can't get fabric for 24 cents anymore, lol!

Gaigai,
Thank you for sharing your memories & fabric with us. I'm old enough to remember fabric fron 5 & 10 being $.39 a yard. Lots of good suggestions here. may I suggest a mini quilt as was suggested by Rhonda and incooperate it into a shadow box including other things from your grandmother, especially the small things that get lost so easily. i'm doing that with some of my mothers things for my kids.
