I went to a fabric "yard" sale today. There were 8 tables, each stacked with fabric by color at least 12" high. The seller had worked in fabric stores for over 25 years and looking at the amount of fabric, she must have simply turned over her paycheck each week. She said her last fabric sale was 20 years ago and at that time she sold 12,000 yards of material. I purchased 85 yards and my friend bought 29 yards......we barely put a dent in the total. She said that she still needs to empty the "sewing room" which is so packed that she can't work in it. The price per yard.......$2
