I can tell you where the fabric is in amost all of the thrift stores in Denver. It's funny how we all look for the same thing in the thrift stores huh??

I could only wish for a store like that around here.

Annie, I had to register to reply to your post. I live 25 miles from Fairport and try to get to Crafts Bits and pieces at least once a month. Usually I take in a box of donations and bring home 2 boxes. I found it very useful when making picture quilts where you need small amounts of lots of colors. I love this store. Maybe those who don't have such a place can look into starting one for a local charity.

We have thrift stores but I wish they had one for crafts. I have a lot of lace, ribbons and zippers I would donate. I guess I could take it to any thrift store but one that deals only in craft supplies would be so much fun.

Pattypurple.....Welcome to the message board. Isn't the store wonderful?...and it gives us all a chance to recycle and reuse.
