new-to-me fabric

This would be easier to explain if I had more time to lay it all out and take better pictures. But you'll forgive me if I spend the time that I do have sorting it and cutting it up for baby quilts instead of posing it for pictures, right?

 

 

There was an ad on Craigslist. Actually two ads on Craiglist, but one was for a sale last weekend that I couldn't make it up to.  A lady was selling off the contents of her craft room "cheap." 

 

After running into too many sellers who are trying to recoup what they spent on fabric and yarn a decade earlier, I'm a bit wary of that word.  I know people have a lot invested in their fabric stashes, but if I'm going to buy fabric out of  someone's garage, I think it should be cheaper than I can get it off the sale rack at the store it originally came from.

 

When this gal said cheap, she meant it!  I sorted through three huge tubs of fabric and came up with this pile. It's all cotton, all large pieces, all in my taste, except the frogs and bookworms and those are for baby quilts.

 

Mom made it to the other sale and between the two of us, we added 110 yards to my stash, most of it in those vintage small scale prints that I love so much. The fabric fumes are making me giddy...
