How many of you quilters, search out Yard Sales?
What have you found to help in your addiction of Quilting?

I've found sewing machines, fabric, rulers, quilt magazines, etc. I love yard sales and auctions.

I freq garage sales, goodwill. I occasionally find fabric, notions, buttons, ribbon, misc craft items, craft books, etc.
It's the first place I look for supplies.

plus a treadle machine, a Necchi machine, a White machine... My husband is my quilting enabler.. he LEADS me to these items....

you can find just about anything.. fabric, notions, machines.. you just need to be at the right place at the right time..

I was fortunate to get real feedsacks in an auction ( 3 boxes) for $30.

All the time. But, I'm picky. I only buy LQS quality fabric. And there are plenty of people destashing NICE fabrics.
