Just looked in the estate sale section of the paper and saw the headline "QUILTERS - SEWERS - CRAFTERS" The woman is getting rid of over 3,000 yards of quilting fabric, two Berninas and other machines. DH and I are sharing a car these days and he just got home so ... GOTTA GO!!!!!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzoooooooooooooooom!

booklady 06-10-2011 05:33 PM

It has now been over 6 hours since you set us all on edge. . . . WHAT DID YOU BUY ????????

Krystyna 06-10-2011 05:35 PM

If anyone lives on or near Long Island, you MUST GO TOMORROW! Grab a Newsday and look for the ad that says Quilters. It's in New Hyde Park. (I don't think I should post the address here) You can look in Newsday.com at the ads.

OK. What did I get. Once again I filled my car. I will be going back tomorrow to pick up some stuff. This is all top quality fabric of every conceivable type. It is the home of a quilter to the nth degree. The members of the quilt club were helping her husband who must get out of the house by Tuesday. I cannot even begin to describe the amazing fabric. Including lots of hand dyed fabrics, batiks, etc.

I got a ton of fabric, lots and lots of huge rulers and templates for 50 cents each! We bought an enormous cutting table complete with mat that folds up -- wood, real wood -- for $50. Tons of scissors - top shelf - several 50 yard bolts of heavy muslin and ... are you ready? The most beautiful 1929 Singer in an excellent cabinet - complete with walking foot, etc. etc. etc. It's in my trunk at the moment, but I'll be sure to post. $70

The husband was a doll. He knew so much about machines including the coveted featherweights which he said he would find all the time. The husbands of the wonderful quilting ladies were all there -- and they were so sweet.

The Berninas were a bit out of my price range, but still there.

The best part of it all is that I've found a new quilting club! It's a bit of a drive, but not bad. Hopefully I'll go there on Monday.

New Yorkers - GO GO GO!!!!

Congrats on your vintage Singer!!! And all your other great finds! Congrats on the quilting club too. Great haul. What a smart shopper you are! :-P :-P :-P

Krystyna 06-10-2011 05:47 PM

This was an odd one. The hours said 6-9 -- I was thinking gee they started early, but they only opened at 6 pm so we went out to my husband's favorite pizza shop.

I really wish I had brought a camera. You would all be drooling! This home put the best LQS to shame.

booklady 06-10-2011 05:53 PM

Congrats on your find.

Dawn Hendrix 06-10-2011 05:58 PM

man o man you are making me sooooo envious!

cjomomma 06-10-2011 06:02 PM

Holy Moly! I'm jealous!

Bubblegum0077 06-10-2011 07:08 PM

Hope you made it to get most of it.

I live in Island Park several years ago. I have a friend who also lived in LB years ago. He's now in Oceanside.

Get your friend to go for you. They are open all day today. The second floor of the house was all fabric. Amazing stuff. Also lots of completed quilts. Did I mention I got a pair of Gingher scissors, new in the package for $4??

allie1448 06-11-2011 02:36 AM

Wow! I hope you show us your haul !

Where on the island are these great sales you find? I've seen some of your postings, and have a car.. Would be glad to pick you up, and take you off your island, and do the sales.. I'm not far from you in the Five Towns.. I also need to learn how to read the Newsday better..
