It’s funny about Goodwill…either I hit the jack pot or there is very little fabric there. Â This week was jack pot!
What a variety of goodies…right??
I immediately knew what I was doing with the chair fabric. Â Kelli made another quilt for a nursing home resident and it’s going to be the backing. Â There are three larger pieces on the bottom of the stack. Â The white one with triangles is actually 54″ wide rather than 45″ wide. Â There are LOTS of calico prints in the stack. Â Some of those I am going to sneak in with my reproduction fabrics..others, I’m not sure.
I couldn’t resist the cute little fabric on top of the pile with the little kids on it. Â It’s going to be a cute kids quilt someday…I just might use those green rolls of fabric right along with it.
I am to the point that I just need a day of cleaning and sorting in the sewing room. Â I had done so good and not bought any old quilting magazines for a LONG time. Â I even had a stack I had sorted out to get rid of..well, I bought more quilting magazines at the thrift store this week too…oh when will I ever learn to say no?? Â Please tell me someone else out there has the same old quilting magazine addiction that I have?? Â Better yet, is there a cure??
..oh and if there was fabric and quilting magazines at the thrift store…what else could someone have donated that’s quilting related? Â If you guessed a sewing machine, you’re right…but I’ll save that story for tomorrow afternoon. Yep I did get myself into more trouble…
We did finish a quilt. Â You can read more about it here.
So here’s the stash report…Thankfully I don’t count in fabric anymore….
Used this Week: Â 4 yards from Moda + 1yard store bought + 5 yards recycled
Used year to Date:  161 yards store bought +  48.5 Moda fabric + 51.5 yards of recycled fabric…

Great finds. I totally agree with you on thrift store finds. When it’s there, it’s there otherwise nothing. I went for the first time in weeks this week and found some great yardage. You’ve really got the jackpot wiht yours.
I love my Good Will Hunting Adventures, but our “AS IS” store has been converted to an upscale Good Will. Still shopping there but much of the treasures of what a BUCK could buy are gone.
I’ve decided that my old-magazine addiction will be cured when my heirs clean out the house. I still enjoy looking at my magazines, and every time I do, I see different things to like. I wonder why I bookmarked THAT page, when this OTHER page is so much more interesting this time. Some people tear out pages to save, but I never know what my future interests will be.
Love your great haul. I wish my local Goodwills had fabric — period! I’ve resorted to buying large-size, full skirts and or dresses to get discounted fabric. =)
Someone else must snag the fabric at my Good Will store, even the St Vincient Depaul neve has any! you are one lucky woman!
My daughter got a hand-me-down dress made out of the little kid fabric (different print in that line) She has since outgrown it but I re-purposed the fabric for AG doll clothes. Absolutely adorable!
