    Wow! You made a great purchase! Our thrift stores seldom have any fabrics at all . My best find was a piece of lime green minky for $2. It fit the back of a baby quilt perfectly.

    I haven't checked our thrift stores in a while. I did find some solids last year at our local Goodwill. Sounds like you had a great day!

    By the way, great find Wanabee. I love to hear stuff like that.

    Wow I never find these great treasures at thrift stores! The local Goodwill has been charging outrageous prices and they told me they throw away fabrics, threads, beads, all that kind of stuff!

    What a wonderful find. I need to visit my local thrift store. Maybe I can be lucky too. Have fun with your find.
