Okay after seeing all this material you guys bring home from sales and thrift stores I decided to give it a try. The store that I go to has 10lb bags of mixed fabric for $4.98 but they had this one that looked pretty good for $1.98. So I grabbed it up and came on home with it and opened it up to see what I had in there. I kept what is shown here plus a few pieces of canvas and a few old bolt wraps from the factory that are marked March 1 1950. I also kept about 2 yards of micro-suede fabric that I am going to make throw pillows for the studio. But there was a ton of polyester and silky shear fabric that I set to the side not knowing what the heck to do with it.

Here is the haul...........

Wow! Looks like you had a really good day! Nice!!!

Wow! You hit the jackpot! :thumbup: I love the musical one.

I think I need to travel! Nothing like that in this little town! Congrats!

Wow, congratulations you did really well. Love all of the pieces but especially love the Christmas ribbon one. Can't wait to see what you decide to make with them.

My DH's grandmother made polyester quilts. Just 3" squares sewn together. I received one of them. Put a really nice cabbage rose sheet on the back and had it machine quilted. Made a nice sturdy quilt we used in the camper.

They don't have to be pretty but they're easy to wash and sturdy. Just turn them upside down with a nice sheet backing! Great way to use the "unwanted" polyester.

You got a great deal. I wish I could find something like that around here.

Great find!!

I might go back because they had another bag that had more Christmas cottons in it but it was $4.98 not that that is bad for 10lbs of fabric.

Good haul!
