I found these at my local Goodwill, $1.99 each. The instructions and fabric are in the package.
The next last set is just patterns for Christmas crafts.

this whole stack was $1.99

Was this at the Bend Goodwill store Hawk? Last week I was in there and picked up about 10 yards of various Christmas fabrics for $3.50!
Good stuff in that store! :)

Yes it was, I found 5 yds of a native american print there a few days ago for 5 bucks. And some solid fleece pieces (1 1/2 yds each) for a couple of bucks.

I just LOVE thrift stores. I find the neatest things, plus, if I'm lucky, even fabric. Cheap too! It's always nice to get a bargain.

zz-pd 04-05-2010 11:04 PM

I don't know what part of the northwest you are from but I never find good buys at good will, I have to say I don't go to often, but if hubby has a little extra money we go and see if we can find fabric for me, and I have not found that cheap either, so my trips have not been good :cry: Penny

MegsAnn 04-05-2010 11:06 PM

Nice! I've never found fabric at Goodwill. What a lucky find and a great store you guys have! You must have some quilters in the area who donated what they no longer wanted.

Quilt4u 04-06-2010 02:51 AM

WOW!!!

Ms Grace 04-06-2010 04:42 AM

RedGarnet222 04-06-2010 04:59 AM

Boy.. you sure made a score! How fun. I can't wait to see some of these made up.

wvdek 04-06-2010 05:23 AM

Lots of goodies... now to actually do something with them. LOL when will you find the time for all of it?

Ditter43 04-06-2010 05:40 AM

I keep hoping to hit the jackpot at any of our local thrift stores, but so far, no such luck! guess I'm supposed to finish up what I have first!

Congratualtions on your find! Have lotsa fun with them!

CraftsByRobin 04-07-2010 09:31 AM

OMG. A treasure.

I frequently increase my stash from goodwill and other thrift shops. Sometimes the fabric is hard to find. I have found it in bins in with the sheets and bedding, or folded over a hanger with the towels and curtains. I have increased my stash 3-fold over the last month by finding fabrics that way. Most are leftovers from some sewing project, but there are some good yardage pieces to be had also.
Another place to look is in the pillowcases. You can find some that are almost like new for 35 -50 cents each. These are usually good sturdy cotton, but just check the labels and strength of the material to make sure. You can cut a lot of pieces out of a pillowcase.

I've not been to thrift stores in a while, I sure need to go often and look hard.

Jingle 04-08-2010 07:01 AM

Something is wrong somewhere, my posts this morning have usually been doubled, nothing I'm doing wrong.

marla 04-08-2010 05:02 PM

Wow! If they were on ebay, it sure would have cost you much more! What a steal!

I never thought of pillowcases. Thanks for the tip!

Speaking of thrift store finds, I just bought a baggie of the 6" metal hem gauges that some have mentioned in our chats. There are 19 of them in the baggie. I payed $2.99. I would share them but I'm pretty sure the postage would be more than the cost of buying one at the store. I also made a major score of 11 sheets and 23 pillowcases, 5 cotton napkins 6 pieces of fabric remnants and a cotton skirt all for $22.00. They gave me a special price for buying so many. I'll try to get a photo of everything tomorrow to show you what I have.
