I wouldn't buy fabric sight unseen - if you want to clear out all of your stash you will probably have to take pictures for the majority of the board members - I'm not speaking for the members in general but think that is what most of us would like.
Thanks Katie for understanding my request.
:P :P :P

Not sure how to charge for this though. The fabric would be 100% cotton LQS quality only. Any thoughts, ideas here?

I want to see what I am buying. With the digital cameras it only takes a few minutes to layout a stack of fabric and take a picture. And I want to know the yardage as well.
Think of this as a "fun" project, you get to play with your fabric!
Instead of as a chore. :thumbup:

I think this is a great idea and if I'm not too late I'd be interested in buying fabric sight unseen if I have some control over what I'm getting. I'm looking for rainbow colored fabrics to go with a pattern I'm collecting for to make a rainbow colored quilt. Also, I'm looking for background fabrics, white on white, cream, and black. PM me if you have anything like these you want to stuff in a box for one flat price. Not too much tho, because funds is an issue. Thanks!!!!

Our Guild had a fabric sale and some of the ladies put fabric in a box and had a look see sale. I bought quite a lot and really was very pleased with my purchases. In fact 2 other ladies and myself split the cost. A real bargain.
