I just love garage sales! I figured the 3 yard cut of green batik was worth more than what I paid for the whole stash>

gotta love it !!

Batiks are in the 3rd picture - they are hand dyed fabrics using wax and originally from Indonesia.

I AM SOOOOOOO JEALOUS!!!

redpurselady 10-06-2010 08:09 AM

This was a lucky find for sure. I was leaving my quilter's house after picking up a baby quilt she quilted for me and across the street there was a garage sale. At first I was hesitant, but I sew a sewing machine table (not old) and figured there might be some sewing stuff so I went over. The table was marked $20 and I did not get it because I don't have the room for it but it was a great deal for anyone needing one. I did not get all of the fabric - there was lots more. I had to share with my quilter and she picked up everything else since she makes lots of donation quilts.

patdesign 10-06-2010 08:34 AM

Sigh! Wish I could find good stuff like that! Lucky You.
