rummage sale fabric finds!
 
just had to share a few recent rummage sale finds!
rummaging with 3 kids 4 and under is...shall we say...exciting? exhausting? expensive? :D:D:D eh, we'll go with interesting. but, when I find an ad with fabrics, I've got to check it out. Most of the time, it's a dud, but on occasion, I find some great fabrics.
here are the most recent finds...

the telephones in the middle is about 5 yards long and maybe 36 wide selvage to selvage. not sure if that means old or from another country, but I LOVE it. not sure when I'll ever use 5 yards of it, but it was too great to pass up.
the purple was at goodwill. LOVE the arabian feel.
thanks for looking and sharing my excitement!

oh yeah, and a queen quilt top for $4!!!

and for fun, my almost 1 year old "sorting" herself into the fabrics.

Very pretty colors. I too like the telephones, I would make big blocks so it was showcased more than with small blocks. Just my opinion.

I would say it's a great find. I've never seen either of those fabrics. Good Going.

We had 4 girls in 8 years, so I totally sympathize with you. Looks like you and your little towheads had a great time! Neat quilt top, and fun fabrics.

What is it about that 2nd shelf that they like so much???

IBQUILTIN 07-26-2012 09:55 PM

If that little doll is in your stash, I'll be right there to borrow some

How much did you pay for the two little ones?..........LOL

they are a couple of cuties.

isn't she a cutie! What a sweetie pie.
bought some more fabric today at a rummage, great prices, but nothing super crazy spectacular. I really need to get me some more neutral/simple fabrics. I tend to buy bold prints and seriously only have maybe 3 yards of solid. I really need to fix that. :)

you got some very pretty fabric, it that shelf system hooked into that wall, [so it won't topple over with your baby ].

Jammin' Jane 10-23-2012 02:10 PM

Looks like you hit the jackpot! :)
Your baby is adorable!!

rebeljane 10-23-2012 02:13 PM
