Stopped at a small rural library (open just 3 evenings/week) for an advertised fabric sale. An acquaintance makes charity quilts w/ friends. She buys oodles of on line closeouts & is selling some of it for $3 - $4/yd - Moda, Timeless Treasures, etc. She sold it at her cost plus 25 cents/yd for the library room rental fee. She does not sell on line - sorry. She invited me to join their weekly quilting group. I liked about $600 worth, but restrained myself & spent $200 for 60++ yds of fabric. I didn't have that much $$ with me - she said, "No problem - send it a little at a time, whenever you can" - trusting soul. I'm also buying cabinets from her - $55 total, solid wood, deep, 2 stacking pieces, each 4 ft wide, 4 ft high. Can't wait to get it all assembled/organized in my room.
all 1 - 3 yd cuts

Enjoy your fabric and treat your friend good. that is very kind of her to resell for cost.[/quote]
Yes, I 'owe' her. My friend buys only quality quilt fabric for her personal use plus for charity quilts she & friends make, so she sells the extra at her cost. She got some of it at on line going-out-of-business sales, & still continues to purchase more - I'll be back to see her fabric again for sure.
