Today, my friend Sharon and I went to a longarm class in the nearest town. While there, we were told about an estate sale. The woman that had died was the former owner of a quilt fabric store.....one I used to LOVE to go to. :( We left after class and found the home. She HAD had 1800 bolts of fabric. All that was left was ROOMS full of fabric cuts. Would you believe one "room" was a walk-in closet in a hallway??? It was a gorgeous home, BTW. The picture below is what I got....... Now get this..... $.50 PER CUT! My largest was 5 yard piece and the smallest was bigger than a fat quarter!! I got 56 cuts & a pattern for $25.25. I found out when I got home that he'd miscounted -- he said I had 49 cuts.... :) I'd LOVE to go back again -- but I have no idea where I'm stashing this one......I think we just lost the guest room :) :) :)[ATTACH=CONFIG]342615[/ATTACH]

Ooooh... I feel a big ol' bunch of fabulous projects coming on! You really did score, girlfriend! I'll bet you feel like Christmas came early! Lucky you! You much be living right!!!

I must be missing something.. I don't think many people where I am quilt.. It's very rarely to see any estate sales with fabric, or mchines.. The one I went to was a fabric hoarder.. and everything was $2.00 a yard.. She had so much stuff, and nothing was touched since she passed away seven years previous.. I had such sensor overload, I didn't know where to begin.. I ended up buying a couple of pieces, and bought rulers, and templates at $.50
|
What a find.
I'm never lucky enough to find such deals...lucky you. |
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Happy for you!!! Can't wait to see what you make!
|
Wow, that's an amazing find :)

|
Oh my goodness. I do love Estate Sales! What a great day for you and your friend!

Congratulations! both to you and to the former owner! I am sure she would have wanted her fabric to go to someone like you who truly appreciates it!
|

Sheeeeeeeee shots and scores!!!!!!!Congratulations and don't worry there is always space somewhere for fabric!!!LOL
|
Wow, you were in the right place at the right time. And I am sure the former owner of the shop would be happy that one of her customers who loved the shop got some of the fabric. BTW, I lost my guest room years ago!! LOL
|
What a wonderful find. I see many happy sewing hours in the future! Great deal. Thanks for sharing.
|
Wowweee! What a score! Have fun with that great load!:thumbup:
|
Oooooh, what a wonderful (dangerous) estate sale. I would've been sorely tempted to say, "How much would you take for all of it?"
|
I'm happy for you and the quilter who passed away. She would want her things to go to someone who would appreciate them like you do. Enjoy and make something beautiful.
