What A Haul!!!

Howdy y'all :)

One of the gals in my quilting group found out about a woman who had BOATLOADS of fabric for sale dirt cheap! She was selling yardage for $3.00 per piece, and smaller pieces for $1.00 each. Some of the bigger pieces had 5 - 8 yards in them!! As you can see, I bought enough to cover a queen-size bed, and I got all of this plus two books for $74!!! Now to get it all wrapped onto comic book boards and get it into my bookshelves! :D

Jealousy is a terrible affliction, and I am suffering from it looking at your haul, what a great bargain, enjoy and makes of lovely quilts/goodies with it

mucky 10-09-2014 04:54 PM

Makes me jealous. Wish I was there.

RedGarnet222 10-09-2014 06:15 PM

Oh my!! What a haul is right! There are some really nice fabrics there for that amount of money. Great work.

twinkie 10-10-2014 03:17 AM

Donna you were very fortunate. I think it is ironic that my name is Donna and I put my fabric on comic boards also. Great buy.

TiltedEars 10-10-2014 03:52 AM

You are lucky! That's an awesome haul indeed.

shayarene 10-10-2014 06:44 AM

Wow what a fantastic bargain. It's all so beautiful. I see several I am jealous of. LOL What are comic boards?
I am never lucky enough to find such a bargain. And if I did, I wouldn't have the extra cash needed to snatch it up. LOL
Please be sure and show us all the beautiful quilts you make. :-)

Caswews 10-10-2014 08:02 AM

Wow very nice !!

fmhall2 10-10-2014 08:15 AM

Congratulations! That is quite a bargain, plus you won't have to buy fabric for a long time now.

carolynjo 10-10-2014 08:39 AM

Comic book boards are bought in the comic book stores. Where I buy them, you can get 100 in a package for $7.97. They are sort of a thin, white cardboard that helps to keep collector editions of comic books sturdy inside the plastic bags they put them in. They are acid free, so they work really well for wrapping fabric around so it can be organized in a bookshelf. Here is a picture of some of my fabric on comic book boards. Of course, I have a LOT more fabric now! :)

WOW, what a fantastic find, lucky you. Have fun sorting and planning for new quilts.

QuiltingJaguar 10-10-2014 05:20 PM

Don't you just love it when you hit a big sale like that so much fun, like winning the lottery of materials however. LOL

Celine Fiderio 10-10-2014 05:24 PM

Wow aren't you the lucky one??? Good for you!

cathyvv 10-10-2014 05:43 PM

Dang! Too bad Kentucky is so far away...

You are so lucky, and I am a bit jealous, but not too much. I'm running out of storage space, so need to consider that these days.

PaperPrincess ~ Oh my yes, folding and petting fabric is widely misunderstood except those of us that are afflicted with 'Love of Fabric' syndrome! Your post made me smile.

tessagin 10-11-2014 06:21 AM

So much fun to be had! Congrats! On your haul! Christmas came early, huh!!

solstice3 10-11-2014 06:21 AM

Congrats. I need to try the comic board wrapping

onaemtnest 10-11-2014 07:08 AM

What a wonderful blessing to find such a great addition to your stash! I see a couple of pieces that appear to be some I have in my collection!

Minnesewta-sam 10-11-2014 09:04 AM
