23 fully-loaded Rubbermaid totes...so that's what a near-half ton of fabric looks like! :shock: Next time DH-TB says I have a "ton" of yarn or a "ton" of fabric, I can assure him that I most certainly do NOT! :lol:
... and they wouldn't ship it, the winner had to come pick it up. Some adventurous person got it all for just 32c a pound!

My first thought when I saw the topic is, wow what a shipping charge! But I can understand them not wanting to ship. I recently shipped just an avon carton sellers get their items in and that cost me 21.20. It about wiped me out. Also like everyone else I don't know where I would put it all. I have a room referred to as the keeping room that is stacked with totes and where the shelves are full to the point I can't get to the window to raise the blinds, but then we don't want the sun on our fabric anyway do we. And some are in ziplock bags as well as bags from Hancock/ walmart (from before they quit having it). Of course some fabric is grouped for pending or waiting projects some cut, some waiting to be cut. I just can't seem to get them done fast enough. I always have another I looking forward to getting too even though I enjoy the one I am working on at the time. Well it is time to wrap this up don't want a novel. I am sure you agree. :wink:
