I answered a CL ad today and bought 20 LARGE garbage bags of fabric. Yes, 20. I will be keeping, at most 3. I spent the day sorting through most of it and putting aside what I'll keep. 80% of it is double knit polys, poly blend scraps and cotton/poly yardage. But, there were some cottons and flannels in there too. I must have over 100 yards of double knit and poly blends out in the garage now. :shock:
If anyone lives in my area (Sacramento) and can use it contact me, I'll make you a screaming deal :thumbup: This fabric is from an estate and the seamstress was obviously a costumer or polyester princess:> I can't believe how much fabric was in the bags . I'm beat but it was fun exploring the bags and finding some treasures. The washing machine will be busy tomorrow!! It's always so fun to find a good deal.

SO are you happy or sad that you get to keep 3? If you want to get rid of some, check with the community service group of the River City Quilting Guild. Not sure if they have any restrictions on fiber content.
...and no, not putting my name in the hat. lol (Pat would have a cow) Even though we really need to get together some day.
