Before I went to bed I decided to check the online newspaper for local garage/estate sales. I found an ad for an Estate Sale right up the road from me. Nothing in the ad interseted me.....but....it is being run by a professional service, so I decided to check out their website. What did I find but a detailed list of items for this sale.....the list was huge and went on and on. I finally got to the end and read...."Fabric, Fabric, Fabric!!" So guess where I'm going to be at 8AM? I will be sure to post an update later.... :-)

Good luck. Very rarely do we find fabric at garage sales here. please post a photo of what you get so I can feel very jealous. Have fun!!

Thanks Colleen! I occasionally find a few pieces but this may be a bit more...LOL

Good luck to you. I would actually be there Earlier then 8. There will probably be alot of people there at 7 and they will probably let those people in early too. And it would be a shame for you to get there "too late" for the fabric. I hope you find lots of treasures. :)

good luck. I hope you find lots of goodies. I'm going furniture shopping with one of my girlfriends today-I'd rather be fabric shopping!

Only 2.5 hours to go now.... Hope it's a great sale.

Just a hint for you....I went to a sale like that once...I bought a few pieces of fabric that I thought would sell fast...then I gave the woman my phone number and told her to call me if she didn't sell it..we could make a deal...i got everything that was left for 20 dollars...i had my car packed to the point you couldn't have put a toothpick in there!! it's a gamble, yes...but how many people will really buy fabric, especiall if it wasn't listed in the paper??? Good luck...let us know how you do! Donna

Good luck! I would offer tobuy the rest at a discount if it's good fabric that's a Grrreat idea!!

Thank you...I have my moments LOL....I sold the fabric I didn't want, snd some I donated to the church for costumes...but to get the "good stuff", sometimes you have to take it all! Donna

Good luck! Wish I could go with you.

Good luck!

Can't wait to see what you buy. Be sure to post pictures!!!! This is like Christmas waiting for it to come. :-D

Good luck!!!

I cant wait to see what you get! I will be looking for a picture! Have fun :-D

Wow, what fun,wish I could join you.

I hope you had fun and found some great treasures! :thumbup:

Wish I was close...I would tag along. Happy hunting and let us all know. We are all bargain hunters you know....

Can't wait to see what you find.

ok, you should have some new for us pretty soon!!!

Good luck. Hope you find lots of bargains.

OK....that was a total bust! They had a few tubs of fabric but it wasn't quilting cottons. They had the tubs shrink wrapped and you couldn't look in them. I didn't see a single bit of cotton prints....it was all clothing fabrics. Unless the good stuff was hiding....I didn't want to take a chance. Some tub were $10, $20, and $30 but site unseen I didn't take a chance. The sale is tomorrow too so I may go over and see if it's still there....being the final day of the sale maybe they will let me go through it? Will have to wait and see....sorry to disappoint everyone....LOL Will post pics if I end up with a treasure.

I'm sorry :( that's usually the sort of thing that happens to me :(

It's still fun---garage sales are like treasure hunts and many times I've been disappointed, too. But, there are always those special days when you find really good stuff!

oh well. That's the fun of it!

so sorry but at least you checked it out

So hope you find some really nice quilting fabric!

Several of the ladies in the quilting guild I belong to have de-stashed due to various reasons - and I make sure I'm there at their sales. I have come away with bargains I couldn't believe!
Other than that - never have run across any estate sales/garage sales that offer good quality fabric.

Be sure to follow up with a post..!!!

Wish I were there to share in your adventure. Good Luck!

It's always hit or miss, but I like to think of it like a treasure hunt too.

Aww I'm sorry you didn't find anything good...you should have been with me yesterday! Went to a fabric garage sale, got there just before 10 a.m. with 25 other quilters. There was coffee and muffins on a little table to hydrate you and get your carb levels up. Right on time they opened the gate. Each fabric piece was rolled up and marked according to size. I was discerning but speedy. When I couldn't carry any more, I put it in a pile behind the register and went back for more, stopping only to grab another bite-sized chocolate chip cookie! I left the coffee alone as I didn't have enough hands to hold a cup! After about a half hour there was hardly anything left, but a few ladies were still wandering up the driveway.
I staggered away with 107 yards of quilty fabric at $1 a yard! And its all usable and pretty!!

sounds great. maybe you can post what you get. have fun

Hope you get there first. Any fabric these days is a good thing.

You are probably already there but I'm wishing you luck!! Be sure to post your finds!!

Don't get discouraged. Your special find is out there!

Wow, be sure to let us know what you get! I think I should check some ads and see if there are any fabric sellers around here. Course I'm destashing, but I'll always want more fabric. It is adicting to me.

Darn, I didn't see your reply until I posted. I would have made them open the tubs so I could look inside. You never know what is hiding.

Keep looking, you'll find your treasure.

Try again! Maybe you will find your bonanza next time!

Good Luck.........It sounds like there might be tons of fabric...hope it's what you want. Let us know.

Today I noticed our wal Mart sells the quarters size 18x21,1/2 for 1.27.They also had 2 yards pieces cut in half for a little over 10.00

And usually if you go on the last day everything under $50 is half price.

Ok, so it's the next day. What is the verdict? :shock: Did they let you get into the tubs?
