Larisa, not look> I'm in charge of the "craft room" at my church fair this October. We
sell off people's unwanted crafting items, such as material, yarn, UFOs,
> craft paint, etc. Well, since I started quilting last year, I have
> decided to really push for unused or unwanted quilting things to sell. >
> A lady from church just invited me to her "quilt room" to collect all of
> her unwanted things for the fair. I was practically hyperventilating
> when I saw her stash. Everything is color coordinated, measured and
> labelled and neatly organized in a huge armoire plus two big cabinets. >
> She's not quite sure she's ready to give it all up yet, but she gave me
> all of her batting, and yards and yards of velvet and polar fleece and
> patterns. She also gave me a beautiful Irish Chain quilt top plus the
> backing, and a complete quilt just waiting for the hand quilting. It is
> all sewn together, and has prairie points all around. It's just
> gorgeous. It's even all pinned awaiting the quilting. I couldn't
> believe that someone would go to all the the work of making these quilts
> then just giving them away.

> The craft room sells things "all you can put in a bag for $3. I guess
> I'll just have to make a hefty donation to the church for these quilts,
> because THEY SURE AS HECK AIN'T SELLING FOR $3.

> I told her that I couldn't see just giving things away, and would she
> mind if I kept things I liked and donated money to the church fair, and
> she said she really didn't care what I did with the stuff. Then she
> told me that she just sold her $6000.00 worth of stamping things at a
> yard sale for just a few dollars, I almost puked.
>
> I'm going to really work on getting her to donate her stash to a good > home (mine).

> LN in NH, be on the lookout for the St. James Craft Fair in October,
> I'll be working there all day, and maybe we can meet, and maybe I won't
> buy up all the good stuff before you get there.
