WOW!!! Great Find!! :mrgreen:

I go to a lot of garage sales also but never run into many sewing items at all. Good for you.

I once made a Double Wedding Ring quilt - all from garage sale fabrics.

The fun of garage sales is you never know what you will find. I went yesterday. Didn't find much. Bought two mattress covers for $1.50 to use as batting.

I bought something unusual at a garage sale yesterday; rolls of fabric, cut at least 5" wide and many yards long on a cardboard roll. They were 25 cents each, and were various lengths. Only bought the 5 that felt like quilt fabric, when I rewrapped one, the selvedge said VIP Cranston, so it was good fabric. Asked the seller what she used it for, and she did basket crocheting and bought the rolls when she took the classes. So have lots for strip quilts, 5" blocks, etc.
