Great find! I don't see bags of fabric at our stores either.

You have to be very opened minded when shopping in a thrift/resale store or garage sales. Make your list (on paper or mentally) and keep shopping and watching for what you "NEED". It gives you another reason to go shopping more often.

Wow thats a great find. I dont have any luck either at my thrift shop so i go to the yard sales. There i can get some great bargains but you have to go early to get them.

You did great! I love the thrift stores for finding fabric. Just have to time it right! I have a large collection of double knit poly quilts and love finding chunks of double poly fabric to finish them.

We were suppose to have the city wide yard sales last weekend but it stormed instead. Hopefully they do it again, I am also a yard sale junkie. If there is a bargain to be had I will search til I find it. I guess it is from being poor so I have to find the best prices. If I was rich I would still be looking for the bargains. It is just the way I roll I guess. Thank you everyone for indulging me with my finds, I don't have too many to share them with.

cjo momma, no I won't get tired of seeing your treasured finds as you do exactly what I do and I love it!!!!!!! I have fun and a great deal of satisfaction in making my quilts from Op shop finds, it makes it much more challenging but I love scrappy quilts so I am in my element. In fact I got a couple of bargins yesterday as I had to visit the city for an eye appointment. I can only get to go once a week but boy have I got some great fabrics, yesterdays were Retro from the 70's! My stash (if you could call it that) is 99% Op shop finds and 1% sales special fabric.
