I was there, too. And I saw several men hauling loot for their quilters. One man actually sleeping on a straight back chair with a very large pink flowered bag on his lap and several bags sitting next to him on the floor. Should have snapped his picture. I got the best deals at Sew Smart I think it was called. A factory building with loads and loads of bolts of fabric - name brands for $5. and some a bit highter than that, but that was my best. And I loaded up. Got 108" backing, for my QOV, too. Never made it to Eleanor's factory sale. But I did see her show on Wed. night. She's great.
