My guild does one of these sales every year; I think our leftovers go to a local charity shop that specializes in re-selling things like fabric and yarn. The shop helps support the local senior center.
It's a fun sale, fabric is $2/lb which is sooo cheap. I pick up a lot of scraps for my crazy quilts, and some yardage too. This year I bought something like 13 yards of fabric in pieces 1-yard or more, plus a couple more yards worth of scraps and paid $10. Score!!! (Not that I needed any of it at all, but at those prices I couldn't resist!) |
Oh my, I sure wish I could have gone. It looks like you have tons of fun stuff to choose from! Hope you have better luck next year.

I think, especially after the winter we had, that today's gorgeous weather was the major competition for this years fundraiser. I would have loved to come down for it (and to see the SAQA exhibit), but it just wasn't possible. I hope at least you came out on the plus side financially despite all the leftovers. :(

What were your prices like? (for example, was it by the yard, or by the piece?) and what were the books bringing? Was it a "donation sale?"

Oh my. I wish I could have been at that sale!!! If it were here I would donate it to the church. They make quilts for people in need.

$500 to pick them up for recycling! |
Contact me about your aftermath distribution.
