Great find. Every week I say I am going to yard sales and every week I do not go.

Jackpot! I hope it brings you lots of fun!

Final count from Yard Sale

262+ yards of fabric ranging from 1/3 yard to 17 yards.
A total of 145pieces of fabric..
I need to store it in a better way than boxes and per suggestion, I removed all the pins.

Sounds like you are going to be a busy bee for quite a while. Nice find. Enjoy.

I would be on the floor wallowing in all of that great fabric. Just touching it would be such a high.

quiltjoey 10-26-2012 07:11 PM

Fantastic! Especially if it's all cotton!

Woot! Lucky you!

Great find. This will keep you busy for awhile. When I visit my daughter in Denver, we love to go to yard and estate sales.

broomstix 10-26-2012 09:00 PM

great find, never know what treasure await if never stop.

cowgirlquilter 10-26-2012 09:21 PM

Wow that is AWESOME! Can't wait to see all the pretties you will make!

Lilrain 10-26-2012 09:52 PM

A great deal. Guess someone gave up sewing or quilting and just needed it gone. their loss , your gain

kathbug 10-27-2012 04:08 AM

Wow guess you have a lot of planning for quilts in your future. Have fun with your new stash!

janegb 10-27-2012 04:57 AM

Wonderful haul. I go to a lot of yard sales, but haven't in the past two or three years seen ANY fabric. If anyone has it, they keep it for themselves or give it to someone they know. Sob sob sob

sewnsewer2 10-27-2012 04:58 AM

Whoo Hoo! Great score!!

Caroline S 10-27-2012 05:28 AM

​Wow, that is a haul.

WOW!!! Nice haul!!!

sunny42539 10-27-2012 06:20 AM

I reckon nobody around here quilts. I can't find fabric at yard sales or thrift stores.

psychonurse 10-27-2012 06:25 AM

that is super. yEAH. Glad you stopped. Hope it will be my turn soon

sewbizgirl 10-27-2012 06:50 AM

Wow... lucky you! If you prewash your fabrics, your work has just begun!

nellybelle 10-27-2012 07:05 AM

Wish I could find something like that a yard sales in my town. Did the ad list that there was fabric?

No Ad. I just happened by. The sale was on my way as I go to town to do errands. I stopped and saw one box, told the lady I would take it then she said "I have another". I took both.

I second that. The thing is we don't have a storage shed, so don't know where I would go. Congrats, can't wait to see all the fabric close up. BrendaK
