One of the fund raisers at the museum is to collect donations and have what amounts to a giant yard sale once a year. For a variety of reasons the event was held in May instead of the usual April. I think this is the reason why we only had about 50 quilters show up. I had about 9 tables filled with quilting cottons, three with notions, books, patterns, magazines, tons of yarn and non quilting fabrics (denim, wool, corduroy, broad cloth, drapery and upolstry, bolts of lace, flannel, fleece etc.). At the end of the event I filled about ten 48 gallon construction bags for recycling. I called about having them picked up (I had to drag them across the carpet they were so heavy) and was given an estimate of $500 to pick them up for recycling! Tomorrow I will make the necessary trips (several)to get all of it to Savers for recycling. Keep in mind that these bagsdo not include the left over cotton! Next year I am moving it back to April where it is "supposed" to be!
