I went to a yard sale a couple of weeks ago and they had tons of fabric. I bought several bags but it wasn't really my style of fabric so I didn't buy a ton. People running the sale said it was from an elderly friend of their moms who had to move to a home. They were cleaning out her house. My daughter needs a machine so I asked if they had any. They took my name and said yes but they still needed to price them. I was in the LQS this week run by an elderly lady and she was telling me about her friend who got sick and was scammed by a family who sold all of her stuff while she was in the hospital and rehab. They even moved into her house and took her car. Police are investigating. LQS has her machines or they would have sold them to me. I took the fabric I bought to the home where she is and gave it to her. SHe was sitting there quilting and was thrilled. If you have elderly friends or parents watch out for them.
