Just wanted to show you what I picked up yesterday at Goodwill --- 15 yards for $7.99! That's about 57 cents a yard!
What am I doing with it? I am giving it to one of my best friends as a Christmas gift. She loves blue and yellow and has young grandchildren to quilt for. I think she'll be thrilled to get it.

15 yards!

That is one of my favorite prints. I used it on several things. I did a yellow and blue quilt with it. What a wonderful deal you got.

What a deal and what a great gift for a quilting friend. I am sure your friend will love it.

All I can say is WOW- I wonder how many eons ago fabric sold for cents on the dollar!! (Maybe Little House on the Prairie) lol

What a great Christmas present. Any quilter would love that.

I have to start hunting in my local thrift shops! I never knew you could find such fun finds!

oatw13 11-19-2010 07:28 PM

WOW! I have a few small pieces of that fabric. It is nice and bright and has held up well. :)

What a lucky day for you and your friend!

Great deal and an even better gift.

That is a great find.

annieshane 11-19-2010 07:43 PM

Sure wish we had Goodwill around her that had such "goodies" Most of ours are just old clothes and dingy household items. So glad you hit on such a great deal. Bet your friend will be very happy!

wish we had a goodwill store in my area, great find

amma 11-19-2010 09:31 PM

What a great gift! Your friend is going to love it :D:D:D

It's all about being in the right place at the right time.
I was at our local Goodwill last week and found an entire set of Joanne's Block of the Month - including the setting fabrics - all for $10. Day before yesterday my husband and I were at another Goodwill and I found 3 skillets that looked interesting. I hadn't heard of the brand GreenPan (I don't watch QVC or HSN). I bought the smallest one for $8 and figured I'd try it out and then maybe come back. Well, I hestitated when I shouldn't have because the pan is fabulous. While I was buying that bolt of fabric in one town those other 2 skillets were being purchased by another savvy shopper. I am learning that maybe it's better to take a chance and buy what interests me when I see it than to miss out on a possible really good thing.

My daughter used that fabric in a quilt she made!
It's in the blue 9-patches.

Looks like this would be a great piece of fabric to use for backing and then machine quilt from back to front.

Mariposa 11-20-2010 11:47 AM

vintagemotif 11-20-2010 11:49 AM
