Fabric Acquisition and Bunnies

 Remember I mentioned last Friday that I was going out of town to a fabric estate sale. Indeed I went, it was 1.5 hr drive one way. It's always bittersweet as a quilter has passed and left loads of fabric behind. Sad to think she won't be getting the projects done she had hoped.  The husband hired the Amish to display and sell it for him. The fabric was displayed nicely by color or holiday in the Amish greenhouse. I really enjoyed going through and filling my bag with goodies. The two young gals working told me they still had about 20 rubbermaid tubs to set out yet.  I hated to leave as I wanted to see what else they had!!  But my wallet said I had to go. After I got home I pressed and wound each piece around my 6" ruler and made a pretty stack.  

I also found yardage of two different neutrals and that blurry spot in the back there is yardage of black. I use a lot of solid black for bindings on runners so I was ecstatic to find this. All of the fabric was $4 a yard and those were tagged. If it didn't have a tag it was $16 a pound and they were estimating 4 yards to a pound. It came out pretty equal, I measured and counted while I was winding around the ruler. All together I brought home 54 yards. I learned the lady's name was Rita, so I will send up a silent thank you to her when I use her fabric. 

Yesterday I got busy and finished up the three bunny table runners, aren't they adorable!
