that how i have so many different pieces because we have local quilt shop sells the samples by the pound
|
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
|
I would.
|
sure would if the price is right! I love to work in miniature, and I'm collecting fabrics for my Dear Jane quilt since I'd like each block done in a different fabric.
|
I have purchased these samples at quilt shows. the LQS would probably price them too high.
|
Yes, I obtain a lot of material that way, We generally buy it from the local charity for a cheap price and also from the decorating shops. I prefer to but these as you get a nice variety.
|
i would if the price was right and there was no glue on the scraps
|
yup I would.
|
Grab-it while you can
|
I would buy them!
|
Yes, I have bought these at my local quilt shop. They have a "samples sale" I find them a great way to add to my stash.

OH yes I bought some of these off ebay once and they were great!
|
Yes I would :-D :-D
|
I have purchased these types of sample bundles by the pound from a regional sales rep who works for a textile distributor. She stores all of her samples in her garage or in her van. Once a particular fabric collection is out of print and is no longer being sold to quilt shops she needs to make room for the new stuff. I spent $120 and got 30 lbs. (equivalent of 90 yds. total) and have the makings of many gorgeous scrappy quilts as well as some full panels and borders. Removing the cardboard headers is a bit tedious when purchasing that much but her DH and my DH were nice enough to help me do that before we weighed it all. I can't wait to pay her another visit!
|
i pay 5.50 pound for it
|
I would...if the price was right! and on SALE!!
Our little LQS went out of business and I KNOW it was because she had absolutely no SALE table! AND the number one reason she went down is because she did not have a sign on the main road! What a shame!!! |
Absolutely!! These can be really fun in your own quilts, or piece them together for a quick charity quilt project.
|
So, what's the question?
|
yes I would, and I have. Got a couple of rolls of hoffman Christmas samples at a quilt show, with all the golds... made a beautiful Christmas tablecloth.

If these were put in bags and offered in the quilt shop.....Would you buy it. It is all good first quality fabric. One card had 5 pieces on it ranging from smallest about 12" up to almost full width x 12" And made the vest also from another line http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-27123-1.htm http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-41319-1.htm And both are not cotton Don't haisitate ;-) |
If the price is right I sure would I love the scrappy quilt block effect.
|
Absolutely.
|
Yes if I liked the fabric :-D :-D :-D
|
Sometimes our LQS sells them individually, not in bags. Prices vary depending on how large and how many pieces are in the set. They also offer some of them free to volunteers who make charity quilts there. I love using them and when the price is right I do buy them.
|
Our LQS used to have these for sale for a very reasonable price and I used to buy them all the time. When I bought them, they were all stapled to the cardboard top. They were great.
|
I would and i have. Enjoy

I like finding several of the same cards so I have enough for a little top or I put cards together that will blend. I think selling by the bag will not work as people might not like everything in it unless it is from the same line and it matches.

There's a little sentimentality to this story. The book had been given to me by a cousin who owned an interior design shop. He passed away so after the quilt was finished, I gave it to his younger brother. He treasures it. |
This is such a great idea. I have just started quilting and have no stash.
|
Sure I would. If the price was right. What's not to like? I buy small pieces and scraps of all kinds, not too much difference there. 8-)
|
When I was buying from the wholesalers they used to toss those at the end of the season!!! What I wouldn't give to have some of them now. :)

Yes, as long as the quality of the fabric had not been compromised in any way and the price was decent.
