Today, my friend Sharon and I went to a longarm class in the nearest town. While there, we were told about an estate sale. The woman that had died was the former owner of a quilt fabric store.....one I used to LOVE to go to. :( We left after class and found the home. She HAD had 1800 bolts of fabric. All that was left was ROOMS full of fabric cuts. Would you believe one "room" was a walk-in closet in a hallway??? It was a gorgeous home, BTW. The picture below is what I got....... Now get this..... $.50 PER CUT! My largest was 5 yard piece and the smallest was bigger than a fat quarter!! I got 56 cuts & a pattern for $25.25. I found out when I got home that he'd miscounted -- he said I had 49 cuts.... :) I'd LOVE to go back again -- but I have no idea where I'm stashing this one......I think we just lost the guest room :) :) :)[ATTACH=CONFIG]342615[/ATTACH]

I must be missing something.. I don't think many people where I am quilt.. It's very rarely to see any estate sales with fabric, or mchines.. The one I went to was a fabric hoarder.. and everything was $2.00 a yard.. She had so much stuff, and nothing was touched since she passed away seven years previous.. I had such sensor overload, I didn't know where to begin.. I ended up buying a couple of pieces, and bought rulers, and templates at $.50
