You might remember that last week on Monday I went to Lacrosse to have a needle biopsy done. Kelli was doing childcare for me while I went to have that done so I wanted to get back as soon as possible. On the way home Kelli called and said, “Mom, I’m fine here. If you don’t stop at the thrift store, I’m going to be mad at you.”
Well I decided I’d stop but try hard to make it a quick stop. I hit up the toy section and the craft section but just did a quick once over on anything else and completely skipped clothing. I’m so glad I stopped….I found fabric!
Here’s my haul.
These two pieces were 50 cents each. The white with letters was two yards worth. The green was left overs from the backing of quilt I think. There is a yards worth of that but not in a traditional cut.
There was this kit of purple fabric that someone designed and put together. I says that two more yards of purple are needed. I’m going to have to read through it carefully and see exactly how I’m going to use it.
For $2.50 it was a deal. I think it will be fun to figure it out and make it into something…or I might throw the fabric in my scrap bucket and jazz up my scraps with some purple. It’s a color I don’t typically have a lot of.
These three pieces were rubber banded. They were “specially marked”. Two were $1 each. One was $1.50.
The $1.50 one was two yards…on of the $1 ones was one yard. The one on the lower left was left overs from a quilt backing. I think it is about a yards worth but again, not in a traditional cut.
People often wonder if the stuff I get at the thrift store is quality fabric….See for yourself…. Continue reading
