So the first pic of fabric is from a sale that I drove by... and I was charged $2.00 for this piece of David textile fabric. It is wonderful quality and I knew it was worth $2.00, but didnt realize how much was really there...When I got it home there were 10 yards! Plus a 1/2 yd piece.
The second picture is of a partially finished quilt that was in a bag at the Goodwill store for $3.00. Very nice current fabrics all done in gold, tan and blacks. There are partially sewn pieces and a big part that is already sewn together.... it is just beautiful. Plus there was a huge piece of black, beautiful backing from Buggy Barn...say that 10 times fast!
I am such a Happy Camper over these finds, I wanted to share my joy with all of you!
I'm glad fall is here so I can sew, sew, sew!

I'm with U girl!! I have avoided going to these things because I have stuff I don't need anyway & sure don't need anymore. The blue fabric is beautiful! My favorite color is blue anyway.
