    Nancy, you guys did great!! I can't wait to see it all at guild on Wednesday. I'm taking the day off to participate in the sew-in!! See you there.

    BTW - the proceeds from the sale of the fabric are going to the Joplin MO quilt guild to help them replace all their equipment and fabric and other supplies they lost in the tornado. They make tons of charity items for their community, and now they have little left. We are so happy to be able to Pay It Forward -- what was donated to us we are selling to pass it on to the ladies in Joplin.

    It would be a lot of work..but you could 'tack stitch' the prices on..just a basting stitch thru some squares of paper..so the threads could be pulled out easily..but it would be lot of work..the $ store has the packages of tiny gold safety pins. I think there are 200 in the package. So they are cheap..good luck with your sale!! crafty_linda_b

    This is great. I love it when someone can pay it forward. Good luck with the sales. ♥♥

    Straight pins are so easy to remove - and slide out very easily.

    We rolled each piece of fabric and tied it up with colored yarn. The color of the yarn corresponded to the price. It worked really well. Good luck with your sale. Ours was much more successful than we expected.

    address labels for printers work great and don't leave any sticky stuff behind!
