I want to say 'Thank You' for all your input. I am going to keep 1/2 yard of those pieces that 'speak to me'. I think that idea of a fabric swap meet is a wonderful idea.

Everyone has a different view and I have come to respect all of you. Thanks for your help in the past. Happy Daylight Saving Day!!!

By the way, would you consider posting some of them on the board here for those of us who can't make it to NY????? I'm sure you would get many takers and have the garage sale with the left-overs!!!Just a thought!

I am 71 and also have more fabric than I will ever use, but I have told my family I intend to keep it till I die! They can do what they want when I am gone. My fabric is my main pleasure in life. I think the sugestion about posting it here is a good idea and you would make more from it than in a garage sale.
