I went to an estate sale and for $25 I got 40 pounds of fabric (I weighed it) and a 3' x 7' cutting mat plus several patterns from the 30's. I cut the mat into two large pieces. I have one on my tall cutting table and one on top of a small dinner table that I use in my sewing room.

I recently had a garage sale in my front bedroom of quilting fabrics, etc., and I made $400.

DH went to garage sale when I was out of town. Bought two HUGE rolls of Debbie Mumm fabric for 25.00. Trouble is they're both doggie prints--will have to come up with some imaginative dog quilts in the years to come!
I did manage to score a roll of quilt batting for only 50 bucks--the good stuff, never opened--it should last me awhile. DH said he never would have looked twice at it!

You would put it on ebay or one of the quilter's exchange websites and offer to trade or sell some of it.

I went to three garage sales yesterday and nothing but baby clothes and glass ware. Wish they had some good ones around here.
