Bargain Jackpot!!

Hi ladies, Just wanted to show you what I found at a garage sale this past weekend........the 4 fabrics in the picture plus 4 bags of poly batting and spent $8.....the fabric was in great condition!! Measured it when I got home & had a total of 15 yards of fabric!! The only small piece is the zoo animal print. I have plenty of the other 3 prints & was considering trading part of the yardage for a similar amount of something I don't have. I would love to have some of the Original Grinch (cartoon) fabrics or other whimsical looking Christmas fabrics. Other possibilities: black & white prints, batiks, red prints. If anyone would like to possibly trade an amount of yardage on the 3 larger pieces...just let me know. Send me a message or pictures of something to trade if you are interested. Thanks......some times you have to look at a lot of sales before you find a bargain but it sure is worth it when you do!

Ha! I have some of the yellow with flowers and butterflys. I thought that fabric looked familiar. The dino fabric is cute, love those bright colors.

Made some darling clothing items from the beige animal print. It was a line that had a borderprint that was Noah's Ark. Made a cute jumper and sweatshirt jacket for myself, unfortunately the jacket was in my car when a garage fire burned the car and its contents beyond recognition! Also made bumper pads for my first grandchild, who is 9 now from the Noah's ark fabric. . That will kind of date the fabric. I'll check my stash to see if I hace any of the cordinates left that I could send you.

I personally know the fabric of which our Dear Jean speaks. I, too, have made things from it and had the matching coordinates. My oldest DGD had a Noah's Ark themed bedroom when she was small (she'll be 21 in November). I still have a couple pieces of the dark blue and beige 'plaid' type fabric if you are interested.

I had a square that was the Noah's Ark and asked a friend to make a stand-up rabbit for my DGD and use the Noah's Ark fabric for the dress. This wacko friend of mine decided she didn't want to cut into the fabric . . . so she painstakingly hand painted an exact replica on a piece of fabric . . . you literally could NOT tell the difference . . . of course DGDs birthday came and went, Christmas came and went, and I think it was around Easter when I finally got my order completed.

I love the dinosaur fabric and I have some cat in the hat fabric I would be happy to trade if you are interested. I think I only have about a yard and a half of the cat in the hat but could make up the difference with something else. I will measure and take a picture of it tomorrow if you are interested.

Claire, I beat you to it! I got dibs on the dinosaur fabric. Sorry!

That is OK.

Sandy, are we sharing a brain? That was the exact coordinate I used in my Noah's Ark bedding set. Wish I still had a picture of that, it was really cute.

Made in 2004, for my grandkids when they came to visit me.

Sandy did your project look like this? This is the coordinating fabric for that animal print she found at the garage sale. I found the picture on an old computer, whooppee! PCbatiks--the fabric you bought was used as the backing on the quilt, made from a panel. The bumper pads were from a border print, and I used the blue and tan check fabric for the sheet, bedskirt and ruffle for the quilt.

That's it, that's it, that's it. I have the blue and tan - a couple pieces but not sure of how much is there.

What a Great Find!!!! Good for you:icon_hi:

Thanks for the comments. The rest of the dinosaur fabric is spoken for but I still can trade out some of the floral prints. I have 7 yds of the yellow floral.
