Howdy y'all!!! :c)

OOOOOOOooooooooohhhhhhhhh I'm so excited!!! I saw a post on Craigslist a little over a week ago from a lady who's mother died a year ago, and she was selling her mother's sewing stuff to raise money to buy her a headstone. She told me that she had always joked with her mother that her stash would be the only inheritance she would get. She had tub after tub after tub of fabric that she was selling for 50 cents a yard!!! She has 4 shelves in her garage that are nine feet long and both sides are stacked with boxes of 5500 yard cones of thread. I got 32 spools of thread, 2 baggies of applique fabric, an antique tin with some sewing machine needles, snips, small scissors, and lace in it, 4 bags of lace, 4 scraps of leather (she had pieces of leather big enough to cover up with!), a total of FIFTY EIGHT AND A HALF yards of fabric, and an antique sewing machine.....all for 50 bucks!!! So of course I had to take pictures of everything! This is most of what I got. If anyone can tell me anything at all about the sewing machine, I would sure appreciate it! :c)

The machine looks like a imitation Singer. I have one made by the Universal company that looks quite similar. That's a great fabric haul!

Great find. You can keep busy for quite some time.

Charlee 11-20-2011 06:02 PM

Awesome score!!! :) Great fabrics!! Some would call your machine a "Singer Copy", most of us here on the QB are happy to call it a "15 Clone", meaning that it was modeled after the Singer model 15 machines with the tension on the faceplate. :)

Congrats!

Grandma Mary 11-20-2011 06:05 PM

Wow, what a great find. I am looking at the black fabric on the far left of your 3rd picture and thinking what a great stack-n-wack it could make, with those big brightly colored flowers. Have fun!

Grandma Peg 11-20-2011 06:17 PM

You hit the jackpot. Hope they make enough to get the woman a headstone.

xsquilter 11-20-2011 06:21 PM

Nice for you but sad for the woman who lost her mother. I hope she gets a headstone for her mother.

Totally agree.

athomenow 11-21-2011 06:01 AM

Wish I could run into those kinds of deals. Our craigslist seems to have a lot of people who say they have something to sell and never get back to you. One lady had tons of fabric with pics and when I tried to go look at it she said she wasn't ready to sell. What is up with that? But congrats on your great deal.

rwquilts 11-21-2011 06:04 AM

Man, you sure made out like a bandit! Good for you!

ontheriver 11-21-2011 06:11 AM

Great find, make sure to post what you make with all that pretty fabric. Nice machine, kinda looks like my Singer 201, but I have never heard of that brand. Hope it sews pretty for you.

oma66 11-21-2011 08:01 AM

Wow, what a blessing. You did score big. Now you get to enjoy it all. Have fun!

Surfergirl 11-21-2011 08:21 AM

The sewing machine is a Class 15 clone.
