What a Haul

I am lucky to have a thrift store very close. They sell bags of fabric for low, low prices and sometimes, they are marked down to 79 cents a bag. I'm rather choosey (and cheap) but usually come home with lots of goodies. Now I have to figure out what to do with all my treasures.

Nice one Billy! That wool looks stunning (especially the purple) you could maybe grab a few suits (wool/wool blend) or some suiting fabric and make a stunning wool quilt. Tip: if you use old suits chuck the whole lot in the wash and line dry to get all the drycleaning chemicals and whatnot out, then you cut them up. This takes care of shrinkage (if any) and also you can tell if the fabric will hold up enough to quilt.
