I wish it was closer I would go. How very fun to find fabrics at those prices! How could you not buy it? By the way, did you find any notions?

Boy, it's a good thing I live in the mountains and too far from that sale. A few years ago I went to a quilter's dream sale and I was first on the scene and I bought 50 yards of assorted pieces (large pieces) for fifty cents a yard. All were top quality. I have used most of it but still have a few treasures. You should have seen the look on hubby's face when I said I had just purchased so much fabric for $25! Great fun!

How could you have left that behind!!!

Just think of it as doing your bit for the economy. Happy sewing with your new haul.

Consider sharing your blessing of a big stash it with other quilters. I have discovered in my guild that there are a number of quilters on limited budgets or retired and on fixed income who love to use "hand-me-down fabric". One turns every thing into quilts of valor and the other teaches 4H classes for budding quilters. It clears just a little from my stash, but it is an easy way to help someone who I know will use the fabric well.

I also recently went methodically through my stash and took out all of the fabric that I knew I would never in a million years put in a quilt. I took it to a quilt retreat in two big Rubberrmaid bins labeled FREE and .... I took home two empty bins. Some was used immediately that week-end and some of the final odds and ends went to someone who makes rag rugs. OK with me. It will turn that fabric into a useful piece for someone and not just sit in the bottom of a bin.
