Hi Mimom,
I work a 14 hour day on Saturdays and did not get a chance until now to check out your sale. Would you please let the buyer of #1 - Navy blue with stars - know that I am desperate for 1/4 yd of this fabric? I make small flags for veterans and caskets of deceased soldiers. It looks like this fabric (thanks for the ruler on the side) is absolutely the right size for a field of 50 stars in them. I've been searching and I missed it. 1/4 yd would go a long way in making them and/or their families very happy.

I passed the message on to the person who bought the fabric and she replied:

Please cut the 1/4 yard and pass it on to her for me. I'll pay the full price but she is welcome to the 1/4 yard.
Thanks,
Joanne

I offered Joanne any piece of fabric from my stash and she declined.

If the whole world was like these people, we wouldn't have wounded soldiers.

I personally don't understand the selling on here...I almost think things are gone before they are posted! lol I can't seem to find how to only see "new" item on the classifieds, but instead I see things posted from a year ago...I guess because people still comment on them?? Is there a better way for me to go about finding the deals on time??
