I read the paper a little late today, trying to leave for vacation tomorrow. Looked a bit while eating lunch and saw "BARGAIN Quilters Friday - Sunday 7 - 2, Fabric $1 to $2 yard." Well it was about 1:00 when I found the location, a seniors' mobile home park, on yahoo maps and decided that it wasn't too far away not to have a look. The mom who used to teach quilting passed and son wants to empty out the house. Very nice man who knew his mother would prefer that other quilters have her stash. The large pieces in the back are at least 3 yards with a few 4 - 5 yards. The smaller pieces are mostly 1/4 yards with a few 1/2 to 1 yard pieces. Then all the pre-cuts, she had bags of them sorted by color. I just grabbed a few 1 1/4" and 2" strips. As I was getting ready to go he said, "Why don't you grab a few quilting books too, no charge." Truly a quilter's heaven. I should have bought more as there were boxes still left!

Her son is right, glad another quilter got some of her stash. Have a great vacation. |

Just re-read your posting that said till Sunday.
If so, I can buy a Modesto Bee and google the address and run up there, or have my niece who lives there drop by for me. |
You did well!

I just packed my find away - don't want any burglars to get it while I'm gone! Did a quick measure/estimate and I think it is at least 60 yards plus the three books! I almost don't want to go away so I can start sewing! I feel so blessed by the quilter and her family sharing her treasure.
|

I've got to start reading the paper. You did great. One question though: how did you leave with fabric still there? I don't know if I could have left any fabric behind!

First thing I did was to scroll back up to see if you were in Ohio and where the trailer park was. LOL Oh well, it all went to a good home. Sigh...
|
Beautiful fabrics, sneak the quilt books into a bag and you can spend some free time deciding which quilt to make first. Lucky you.
|
Great buy.
|
Great find!
|
So glad the son knew the fabrics needed a good home.
|
Lovely fabrics. You certainly got a bargain. :lol:
|
Wow, nicely done
|
I went rummaging yesterday after work, and went to a "Crafters delight and fabric" house and thought the fabric was going to be great, however it was premade stuff that the rummager's mom made to keep active, like wallhangings, etc. They had a few items that were little pieces and I told them I am more of a yarder, than a piecer. LOL
