What a find!

Mar 16, 2007 8 Replies

Yesterday I hit the jackpot. I stopped at an estate sale on a whim and found a quilter's stash for sale, pennies on the dollar. The dear lady's tastes exactly match mine. Bundles of 10 FQs were selling for $2.50. Full yards and bigger pieces were s elling for .75 a yard or so. I loaded up. And left. And went back at noon when the plan was to drop everything to half price. I figured the fabric would be cleaned out. It wasn't. I loaded up again. Filled three plastic grocery bags with tightly rolled and ribboned pieces of fabric. I got more than a yard of the scrumption salmon colored paisley from April Cornell's Poetry collection for 80 cents. While most of the fabric was fat quarter size, and some was smaller (a stack of already cut 5" squares of yellow Fairy Frost), the stuff is all highest quality and gorgeous. I'm singing as I cut today.

And I hope whomever's stash it was is looking down at you and smiling at your glee. I also hope she's not ranting at her family for almost giving it away! Lucky you! At least it's going to someone who will appreciate and use her treasures. Congratulations!

What a great find! Have lots of fun with your treasures. I had that happen to me once about 20 years ago, but since then I haven't had nearly as much luck!

Wow! I can only say that Germany needs more quilters, also more yard sales. Roberta in D

Wow! What a find! :D And today you're cutting -- what are you making from your fabulous find?

I had a similar experience, but the sale was for charity and you just had to donate whatever you thought fair! In the end I left the deciding to DH and I think he was very generous!
