I don't have as much but it is close. I give fabric away all the time. I make about 12 quilts a year.
LOL. 10,000 yards?!!! 10x12x5, that would just about fill my bedroom, halfway to the ceiling! Not sure whether that's my nightmare or my dream...
Yea we are enablers to each other. We ran into a local fabric store that was getting rid of all the name brand fabrics and only handling their off brand or suppliers stuff. They where getting rid of bolts of Micheal Miller , Alexander Henry, etc. So we started to by yards then the clerk would say if you buy the whole bolt that is left I'll give you a deal $1 a yard. Then after 3 full carts and several hours later she quit measuring and started to guessamating which was pretty accurate. I spent close to 500 and my friend did the same and another did more. Until 2nd friends husband saw the haul and went back and bought 200 more. Need I say she won and her husband is a big enabler. Between the 3 of us we pretty much wiped them out. Oh my Lord where we a sight!
