This past Sunday September 4th they had to take him to Hospice. I do not want him left alone at all, so I am staying with him in the room all night. We don’t know how long he has but I will be with him as long as it takes. I brought my laptop with me and finally got organized enough to use it. I will check in as much as I can. GOD bless you all!! Blessings! Carole |
I'm excited -- Today I went to Mardens in Brewer ME. They buy odd lots, overstock stuff ans insurance claim merchandise.
So all their fabrics are at least half what shops charge. I bought $65.00 in fabrics. I got 2 different lighthouse ones, some whitetail deer in fall scenes and I think I also got some with sail boats. several Christmas prints, some blues for my Dear Jane quilt and 3 yards of 108" backing for the quilt I just finished piecing. And to make it even better -- they measuer with 1" extra in the beginning and 2" extra at the end -- whether it is a yard or a half yard. I was so impressed. And she did that even as she was measuring out the 3 yard piece. I don't normally buy so much in advance, but there isnn't any place like it in Washington where I'll be for the winter. It was a very good buying trip -- well worth the 2 hour drive. Mim |
What a great find! Congrats!
I see there are several locations. http://www.mardenssurplus.com/index....&id=7&Itemid=8

I have just returned from the post office and my fat quarters are winging their way to you Carsey. I have sent twelve, hope whoever gets my fabric will like them.
Word of advice to all Aussie swappers, DON'T use the International Express Courier Envelopes at the Post office. They will cost you an arm a leg and half a kidney :( just use the ordinary padded bags (don't ask how I know these things :oops: :evil: ) Needless to say you should be receiving a parcel from me very shortly Carsey :thumbup: |
Not to bring up bad memories -- but after 9/11 and after Katrina, Mardens had piles of designer dresses and other clothing at bargain prices -- bought from the Ins companies. People bought stuff and re-sold it on ebay.
