Fabric Shopping

I don’t shop for fabric often, but when I do, I do it in a big way. I check Facebook Marketplace almost everyday. You just never know what you will find. The other day, I saw this ad.

I immediately made contact. I ended up coming home with this:

These are not all full bolts. The price? $1 per yard! My grand total was only $137. So I bought 137 yards!

Some of it is Kona, some is Northcott, some is Paintbrush Studios, and some is from Marshall Dry Goods.

The small company I purchased this from makes surgical caps. These were colors they were no longer using and just wanted the shelf space back.

I feel positively rich! I still remember the first time I purchased a whole bolt of fabric. I felt so blessed beyond measure.

Have a great day!

    That was a fabulous bargain!!! Congrats! And all from established and known for quality companies. That makes it even better. Have you seen that some of the popular mail order fabric “shops” have their own fabric lines…or at least fabric not labeled from the big companies??? Can we trust the quality when we can’t feel the fabric or check that we can’t see thru the weave? I miss local quilt shops. What do you think?
