If you remember a couple of weeks ago I mentioned I had found a quilting ruler and some border patterns. So the other day I happened to drop back into the Hospice thrift store, just to look around ;-)
What I found was a wrapped package of fabric, marked 2 yards for $2.49. I tried to see if I could read the selvage, but it was printed so lightly it was not distinguishable. It was nice fabric, so I bought it, as I can always use a couple of yards for backing.
And how about this calico facing?? I have NEVER seen facing in these colors before, and I've been sewing since the 70's and quilting since the 80's.
Makes for some very Happy Quilting!

Yay you! Truly a good find. I am probably heading out to do a little thrifting myself today.
Oh how I miss my thrift shops from wher eI used to live. Only one thrift shop here in this lil rural town and never nothing there but truely junk. What great finds for you....I have given up on going thrifting here since each time I return empty handed.
Wonderful finds! I know that you'll find good use for it-even it if is just for a bright binding.
