    You are one lucky lady! Those fabrics are beautiful!! Our goodwill never has stuff like that! Sometimes they want more for it in their store, than you have to pay in the store!

    Congratulations on your great find!! I have never been able to find good fabrics at our thrift shops. Maybe I shop at the wrong place or the wrong time!!!

    The people in our Goodwill are prohibited from holding anything back, and once they send it to the floor, they arent allowed to purchase anything for a half hour, and they cannont purchase on their breaks. The penalty is being fired. At least that is what I have been told.

    I love to shop the thrift store! I'll have to post a couple fotos of quilts I made from one $2 dollar bag of fabric I found a couple years ago, the whole bag was flowered fabrics. made 2 nice four patch quilts. My other favorite thing is dumpster diving! people just don't know what they're throwing away!
