Boy what a find!!! I got a deal about a year ago at a sale. I got all kinds of yarn, wool fabric and cotton. The guy didn't have a clue what to charge so I got it for 10 dollars. Couldn't believe it. Then I found a fabric shop going out and she had plain poplins for 50 cents a yad and cottons 1.00. Got 90 yds or so for 40 dollars. There are bargains out there>

I was doing some errands today and have taken to stopping and/or at least driving by the garage sales with signage. The third one I stopped at looked like it had some materials just placed on top of a box for $3 and another group for $6. Well, did I misjudge! The husband who was sitting in the garage said his wife used to work at JoAnnes, and never brought anything home but material. He's much happier now that she is working at Target and willing to get rid of all this stuff. I spent $35 and got 49 yards of good quality material! That's about $0.71 per yard! And only the turtles one doesn't feel top quality! Will go back on Saturday afternoon and see if she has anything left and has cut her prices! |

There really is hope for those of us who never find anything. You are an inspiration and I'll just keep yard saling and hoping.

Fantastic find! I love the dark with small flowers. Congratulations!

OOOH I love the flags! I have been doing "quilts of valor" for vets who are in the veteran's home nearby. It would be great to use for that as well as a lot of patriotic themed things. Lucky find!
