Garage Sale with Quilting Fabrics......
There is a garage tomorrow less than a mile from my house that list quilt tops, quilts and quality quilt fabrics! Who wants to go with me??????? :icon_woohoo: I hope it's a good one and not too expensive........and I hope they have fabrics I like.........and I hope they have lots to look at..........and I hope they have solids too.........and I hope I have enough money.........and I hope I'm not disappointed! :D
I'll let you know if it was a good one! If you want to go with me......you have to promise that we won't be rolling on the driveway fighting over the same piece of fabric! :D
Re: Garage Sale with Quilting Fabrics......
I wanna go - do you think I can get there from here when I get off work? Uh, probably not. Oh well.
I HOPE you are the first and only one there looking for fabric so that you don't have to wrestle anyone.
Have fun!

I'll be there in a minute.
Saw a Craig's ad last night for a place that has all the fabric bought from a quilt shop that went out of business. There must be 3 or 4 HUNDRED bolts - she's selling for $3 a yard . . . looked great.
Now, if I hadn't spent all that money at M*'s BLACK Friday . . .
Re: Garage Sale with Quilting Fabrics......
This might be a great place to meet other quilters in your area. Have fun.
Re: Garage Sale with Quilting Fabrics......
ME ME!!!! I love quilting garage sales. If I could only get rid of this house full of people. Oh well, I have no more space for it anyway. Hope it has some great bargains for you.
Re: Garage Sale with Quilting Fabrics......
Are you kidding me? I reserved your guest room weeks ago! You know we will fight over fabric - our tastes are so similar. We'll just split the good ones 50/50. Well, maybe 60/40 if I see it first!
Re: Garage Sale with Quilting Fabrics......
Meh.....oh well............they had a few pretty pieces but wanted way too much for them. Some was good quality but some of it was just the cheaper stuff from Hancock's. Oh well.........guess I'll save my money for the next garage sale jackpot. :)
Very funny Cyndi......sorry there were no batiks..........if they were cheaper we may have fought over a couple of pieces!
60/40 huh.........your hilarious! :D
Re: Garage Sale with Quilting Fabrics......
Pam, lets see, can be there by 5 this evening, and no promises on the "rolling on the driveway" opt out, ROFL! Though just for that and the photo op for the Forum is enticement enough for me! All kidding aside, hope you make a MAJOR haul! :D
Re: Garage Sale with Quilting Fabrics......
Pam, I would be there if I could and I would not fight over fabric. It would just be so much fun watching you "shop". Kid in a candy store comes to mind.
Re: Garage Sale with Quilting Fabrics......
I will!!!!! I think going to a sale like this is almost more exciting that the fabric shop...you know what you will find at the store...you know the price...but at a garage sale or thrift store...you never know what you will find and at what price and that is part of the fun of quilting/crafting! Just makes things more fun! Good luck!! Let us know what you get!
Re: Garage Sale with Quilting Fabrics......
Well, guess what....I couldn't help myself. :D I decided to go back by the garage sale around noon today. The lady said she would take less if I was interested in several pieces. I got 9 yds of fabric for $12.......5 different prints! Yay me! Cheri......I think you are right......it's more exciting getting a surprise of a great deal! :D I can't post a picture right now because of computer issues.........I'll try to post one later on.
