Most of the time it goes well with the exception of a few board members who arrive on the day of the sale to be in charge and are not quilters <sigh> and the stray volunteer who does not abide by the rules. Other wise it is like a giant treasure hunt and fun to watch. Where else can you get $300 of wool yardage for $25? Not to mention threads by the bag, yarn, floss and you name it. So now my life can return to normal (normal for me)! And here are the pictures for Anna.
