Great find. I have never found fabrics in the thrift shops. But I don't go looking in there all that often either.

What a great find. I checked out local Goodwill store and they are so overpriced. I don't think I will ever go back.

They wanted a new pair of sheets for $29.99 and a plastic storage container with draqwers for $9.00 broken!!!

I walked out!
