An LQS Yard Sale!

Yup, you read that right! A semi-local (an hour away) LQS decided to encourage their employees to clean out their own stash to have a yard sale outside the store. I got there about 45 minutes after it started cause I woke up late, but I still found some goodies.

Here's just one side of what they had set up. The fabric side; the only side I was concerned with! So what did I find? Well, let's see...

3.69 yards of aquas and white for $10,...

2 yards of this cute orange and red print for $6,...

and 3 yards of this cute green and aqua print for $9. And it blends well with the above aquas in real life. Almost 9 yards of fabric for $25! Can't beat that! But I did have to go inside for some more stuff. Unfortunately what I really needed was not even on sale.

I picked up a half yard each of the prints I did not already have from Helen Mulder Peterson's Artful Home. This is what I've been using for my Carpenter Wheels.

I had also picked up that brown piece to make a strap to tie my daughter's hair and braid back for her Halloween costume, and for a tree I need to make. When I got up to the register I had a coupon for $5 off a $25 order but mine came up to $23. So I just had her add a fat quarter and ran back to pick one out which ended up being the lime swirl. So I figure it's about 11 yards total for about $48; a little over $4 a yard for high quality fabric. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. Now I just need to put some of it to good use!
