Prepare to drool!!! Fabric Heaven!! Picture heavy

So a few weeks ago a crafting friend of mine told me about this fabric place where every month you can go to this warehouse and there is tons and tons of fabric. Fabric swatches, fabric remnants, large pieces of tile, rugs, leather swatches etc.

Their motto is: Rescuing Designer Materials for Creative Reuse. Here is a link to their site.
FabMo.Org
They run on donations, I donated a small cash amount but the next time I go back I will surely donate MORE. The amount of fabric I got for free was probably well over $100!!!

Here are just a few pictures I want I took home with me.

Those velvet pieces, there are about 80 or so I am going to make a patch work dog bed. Ohhh this is exciting LOL

I also found some zippers. This was my first time here and let me tell you it was amazing. The ladies that were working this event were so helpful lending creative ideas and finding stash for everyone.

There was a lady looking for silk pieces, I found alot and walked them over to her. Just amazing I tell you. I could not get over how much stuff there was. I even came across a LHN chart, I already had the same one so I left it for some one else to enjoy.

I can't wait till next month :)
