    I'm sorry not as many showed up as expected. I would try and sell it on ebay like Manic said. If you do i'll buy some.

    You did a wonderful job again! I know it must be a lot of work. Sorry so few people were aware it had changed and you had a low turn out. I hope the fun raiser still went well.

    How disappointing for you. It looks like you put a lot of work into it. As I live in Australia it wouldn't have been possible for me to come but if there was something like that near me I'd be there like a shot.
    I hope you get the turn out you expect next year. Best of luck.

    What a shame- a lovely display of quilts.

    I had my first yard/garage sale in April, all my fabric. I am moving and really need to down size, my stash. Well I had about 14 tubs of fabrics/books/needlework crafts and when my two days were done, I have 7 now. I sold about half of my stuff. A friend offered my her house for another sale and I accepted. I am planning on maybe June for the second one, then all that is left I will call four different groups that make quilts for children/vets/hospitals to get the stuff. I know I did well since I made over $1000 for the two days.

    WOW, so much hard work and such a disappointment. I would have loved to have been there.

    I can only imagine the incredible amount of work and time! It takes me hours just to set up monthly for a charity sewing group and it's exhausting. I'm in NY near the MA border and have found Craigslist and Freecycle are far better for rehoming things than having a garage sale here.
