My sister checks out Craig List regularly, she called me the other day with a heads up on fabric for free!

What I don't want, my granddaughters will snatch up, also plan give some to guild for comfort quilts.

I have alot to post, hold on. Okay, I think I am done.

Oh, and I forgot! There were 2 complete sets of sheets (haven't unfolded them to see what size).

most odd shaped, not alot of yardage, but good stash builder!

That last blue and white fabric brought back memories. When I was in 4-H, say 50 years ago, I made tablecloth out of that fabric. Had to hem it by hand, and thought I would never get done.
