Looking for ideas to get a lot of fabric sold for MIL in financial trouble.

And thank you for the well wishes, it's hard to see people unable to care for themselves and not willing to accept help until it's too late!

A friend of mine who buys in quantity for her guild sells lots of extra. She orders oodles to get a good price, then sells what they don't need by renting an inexpensive room somewhere - grange hall, church basement, etc. She charges $4.00/yd plus adds .25 cents/yd to help cover room rental space. All the fabric is same price for simplicity's sake.
I wish you well - let us know how it works for you.
