So while my son and I were out, he looked it up on his I-phone (love those things) and found it. It came up "Quilters Retreat", so I said "We're going". Found it out on a dirt road. She is a former quilter, professional long armer, and was downsizing because she was just burned out. She was selling grocery bags full of material for $5. I finally quit at 6 bags (wish I had grabbed more). Woke up Saturday morning and decided to go back. Drove all that way to find she had sold it all (didn't surprise me at all).

MAN YOU WON THE JACKPOT OF FABRICS.LOL

Oh! WOW!

Krystyna 05-17-2011 03:17 AM

Wow! What beautiful fabrics. You are going to have so much fun once you stop drooling over them. After decades of garage sales and estate sales, I've learned that if there is something there you like, take it. If you need to go get more cash, have them hold the stuff and go. There is no going back the next day.

PWinston 05-17-2011 03:40 AM

Looks like very good quality fabric. Bet you wish you had purchased every bag she had - I would. Good find, good buy.
