Wanted to share pics of my thrift store haul
 

Hubby and I spent the afternoon browsing our thrift stores and I finally scored on a bag of fabrics. Usually those bags for $3.50 have a lot of upholstery remnants in them so I have never purchased one before. But today I could spot lots of cottons in the bag so here is what I got for $3.50. Fifteen yards of fabrics, 8 fat quarters, loads of five inch squares, five yards of lace, some embroidery thread and a C[ATTACH=CONFIG]399315[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]399316[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]399317[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]399318[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]399320[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]399322[/ATTACH]hristmas stocking. Also one of those fake quilt tops, Dresden plate design. If you can enlarge the pic with the blue denim you will see the cute sayings written on it.

Kitsy, you are laying the red/green paisley aside for my Christmas present, aren't you?

Great haul. Congrats!

Looks like you did great! Good for you.

Wow good for you. What a great haul ;-)

Hi GrannieAnnie,

The paisley is not part of the haul. It is the back side of a table runner I made for Christmas but loved the back so much I have kept it on the dining room table. I'll take a pic of the front for you to see.

Have fun with those great finds! :)

You did great! Funny, I have so many of those pieces that I got second handed. Isn't it fun!

Yes deedum, it is fun. I couldn't wait to get home, had the bag ripped open in the car and squealed with glee for a few miles. Hubby really doesn't understand what fabric can do to a quilter.

Oh, well, I've got a couple pieces pretty close. One is supposed to be a purse, one of these days. Please do send the pic. I did some table toppers, too. I hate to put them up!

What a great haul!! Enjoy

My oh my...you were really in the right place at the right time!

OMG! You lucky lucky lady you! I am thrilled when I find a piece of lightweight canvas I can make a BBQ apron out of. The fabric and craftsy stuff is slim pickings around here. If there was a bag of upholstery fabric I would grab it. I make bags and purses out it. I use less stabilizer when using this stiffer fabric.

Lucky you...SCORE

Great score!!!!!

wow... great haul!

It certainly was your lucky day! Prices at my Good Will have gotten quite high and I think they send fabric to another location.

Sweet! I love digging up those finds!

What luck!! I think I'd fall over if I found that in my goodwill!

Very sweet find!

a couple years ago, I bought 3 pieces--5 yd each --of unbleached muslin along with some other stuff at St.Vincent dePaul. The gal asked "How about $5." Naturally, my answer was SOLD!

Great score and pretty colors. Enjoy!

How neat is that. Congrats

Wow...what a great find....you did good...congratulations on your stash finding....

you sure lucked out. bless you.

Oh, nice haul. Very pretty fabrics especially the paisley!!

OMG. How lucky are you...I'd love to find treasures like that. Hope you will use the dresden plates...so very cute.

WOW! Great haul.

Wow! Great find!

That is a beautiful selection of fabric! BUT - what I want to know is where you found the polka dot rotary cutter. I love it!!

Now that was a haul! I would keep watching that thrift store.

I love the paisley.

Sew jealous! I never find good stuff at our Goodwill! Congratulations on a wonderful haul!

What a great find and the price so low! Have fun using it.

I envy you all that pink fabric! Good haul.

Wow that's great thanks for sharing. I especially like the pinks!

Great haul. Reminds me of the day we (girlfriend) and I went into a thrift shop and got material for $1.00 a bag and you could stuff alot in a bag. Real happy for you.

WOW,you really did score - that's a lot of fabric. Love the green/red paisley fabric. Now what to do with the fabric??? I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

My dear Secret Santa, MRSAJ11, sent it to me in the bountiful package which contained so many wonderful items that I use everyday. She is super. You couldn't ask for a better Secret Santa. Thanks again MRSAJ11.

MargeD,


Here is a pic of the table runner I made with it. It was not included in this haul, but something I bought because I couldn't resist it last year.
