When my mother was here visiting, I sent her home with so much material/thread/carriers, it was a good thing she had a back seat in her car to carry it all home! I'm blessed with gifts of material, ribbons, etc., my thoughts are "why not give back" so once in a while that's what I do. You will never be without when you give from within.

I really like buying from the Quilt Board sale area. I have had great success with finding fabric that I couldn't find as inexpensively and the purchases have arrived quickly, well packed, and have been just as advertised. So, I go through and look for fabric for some of my projects, find it, order it, and it has always been here with in 3-4 days.

excess fabric
Why do so many give the impression that it is "wrong" to try to sell it instead of giving it away?
If I bought a new car - and no longer have room for the old one - "should" I donate it?
I could, but would that be the first suggestion from 80% of my acquaintances?

I do share with DD however. And vise-versa.

I have limited space so when my stash overgrows or I have fabric I don't think I will use, I have to thin out. Living on a very limited budget, if I can sell it for a few bucks, then I can indulge myself in some other fabric.
I try to make quilts to please the recipients so sometimes I need specific fabrics and luck out and find them here on the board.
I also love to buy here when I can as the prices can be very reasonable and there are lots of choices.
