Question:
Went to a church sale & bought bags & bags of fabric. I didn't get to check them real good till I got home. I was so happy to see a piece of Indian Head fabric in it. I think its from 1926. I need to ask Joan if its one of the original colors first introduced when they put out Permanent finish. I also got some great old kids prints. Some Indigo!! yeah http://community.here.com/infopop/em...icon_smile.gif Lots of those great solids from the 30's. And...drum roll please...a double pink quilt top from the 1800's for $4 !! http://community.here.com/infopop/em...on_biggrin.gif
I'll get some pictures today & put them up. Its so funny. I was so excited about finding all that good fabric, I was almost shaking...lol. Hubby thinks Im nuts as it is..but I think this confirmed it. http://community.here.com/infopop/em.../icon_wink.gif

Answer:
It sure does. http://community.here.com/infopop/em...icon_smile.gif The trouble with fabric, as I'm sure you all know, is deciding what to keep and what to sell. For some reason I don't seem to sell much. http://community.here.com/infopop/em.../icon_wink.gif
Answer:
...big sigh...
Tina, Tina, Tina...
...another big sigh...
I went to two garage sales today. One advertised "lots of fabric" which turned out to be about a dozen pieces of double knit. The other sale advertised "lots of sewing and knitting supplies" which turned out to be a baggie filled with some partial packages of seam binding and rick rack and about 6 partial skeins of yarn.
Please don't mind me as I sit here quietly sobbing...
OK, really Tina, what a haul!!! Congrats! The childrens fabric is spectacular. If you decide to sell that one you'll do very well. And the quilt top sure looks like turn-of-the-century to me.
