I am so excited about my newest find at my favorite thrift shop!! I found 6 rolls of Hobbs Heirloom Premium 80/20 cotton batting, twin size, for $3.95 a roll!! These packages were new and unopened. I am so tickled because I make charity quilts and can really use reduced-priced backing. Wow, I am on cloud 9!! Now to find a place to store it.

That's great. Now why don't I find those bargains.
I know one girl that puts bolts of fabric in the bathtub. I guess she doesn't take a bath often. LOL.

Oh yeah, when I had my 2 bedroom condo, the best quilting storage was in the shower of the second room....easy to get to; easy to hide! :-D
