I would love to do this. What a blast! Unfortunately, no time or money.

I am in Danville, KY right now on Highway 127. Today I saw a pink and white Drunkard's Path quilt. The quilt was tied and the back was ripped pretty bad. The top was perfect and they sold it to me for $7.00. I was able to buy 3 tops and tons of fabric, such great deals. I did not bring any scissors to cut the knots on the Drunkard's Path but I am dying to get this top cleaned up and then quilted. It is made out of bubblegum pink. My other quilts are made from 1930's prints. It has rained a great deal here and many yard sales are closed. We head for home tomorrow but will do the yard sales until we hit 64. Had a great 2 days shopping.

I live in Crossville, TN & the 127 sale comes right through the center of my town. Have lived here 15 years and have only done the sale a few times. One year we made it as far as the KY border.

When I first heard about this which was years ago I told my husband one year we are going to do this..it just sounded cool.....then we moved to Crossville and now I tend to avoid it... we tried to do it and it just got too hectic..

We live just off 127 in Casey county Ky. You wouldn't believe the traffic. Takes 5 minutes or more to get from one side of the road to the other in town cause 127 goes right thru town.
