    here's the one I started to use...as you can see, I didn't blog for long...I ran out of words to say.

    I was mostly giving away fabric on this blog, but I'm sure you could sell your fabric too.

    I have a blog where I take a picture every day of what I've done or seen (but usually something I made) and write about it. It has been a life saver for me as I've been recovering from surgery and rheumatoid arthritis.

    Haven't used it to sell items, though.

    Good luck in your adventure.

    I have one, I don't know if it has a sale button or anything, would like to know if wordpress works that way. I struggle with Pay pal because you have to pay for the use of it and it can add up if you are selling a quilt. People like to use paypal because of the instant sale.
