The quilt guild I belong to had a garage sale last year and we did very well. We are having another the end of this month. We want to do it annually. Members donate things including fabric, notions, sewing machines, actually anything sewing/quilting related. We also have some wonderful people who donate fabric to the guild. Some of it is not cotton and we will be selling it at the garage sale. Our prices are low and we use the money to buy batting, etc. needed for our charity quilts. We have loads of fun and it brings us together in a completely different way than guild meetings and workdays. The fabrics we sell are nice. We have cottons, fashion, duck and upholstery fabrics. Something for everyone and it's all priced for less than $3 per yard...most around a $1 or less. Good buy for the public and adds much needed funds to the guild.
