    My husband has time to hit the yard sales more that I do but I go when I can. He loves looking for old west junk :wink: This morning he went to a sale that had some bags of fabric. Not knowing exactly what I use he just bought it all ....for 5.00!!! He came home with about 10 Walmart bags stuffed tight! I went thru it and most of it was new yardage or large scraps I can use....some will go in my next sale. :) BUT...when I got to the very last bag in the very bottom was a old brown paper sack. I was almost scared to stick my hand in! :shock: I pulled out what you see in the pictures below. Need I say more!! :!:

    I don't know if I'm allowed to say on here but these are for sale. All I wanted was the fabric. You can pm me if interested.
