    Default Garage Sale Find!

    Had to share my great find yesterday at a garage sale. A friend and I got so much fabric we just about filled up the trunk. I bought 35 yards, went to breakfast, went back and bought 42 more. All for $1 a yard. This was nice fabric no junk and lots of yardage. My friend bought up all the small bundles she had put together and we both are fabric drunk today. So much fun!

    wow! I'm trying to use down my stash but it's very slow going esp when new stuff keeps catching my eye! I've been good about low-buying though (much to the quilt shops' dismay LOL! not very popular at the sew-ins lately) but $1 a yard I'd been hyper!

    I always read the garage sale bargain postings. Happy for you. Wish I had been there too.
