I just got this in an email. All I can say is O.M.G.!
Hi. I just got a call from Don, friend of ours and He told me that the Christian Children's home had been given a HUGE amount of quilting fabric, over 15,000 yards from a lady who was moving and her husband wouldn't let her move it and then someone else sent more on a flatbed truck, sounds like the lady had a buying problem, but anyway they are having an Auction, at 9:00 Saturday September 8th beginning at 9:00 The fabric will be sold at $1:00 a yard. The home is on the East side of Hwy 287 about 3 miles this side of xxx or North of xxx. Several houses and the name is I think on the fence or some where that you can see. Sounds like a field trip to me. Please get this out as much as you can as all the moneys will go to the homes. Go sew.
If you want more info or the specifics, email me.
WOW! I can't wait to see what you 'rescue' from the auction.
ReplyDeleteHey if there is any civil war repro fabric in that 15,000 yards (wow!!) I'll pay you to get some for me and ship it to Ireland!! I would be so excited if I was there!!
ReplyDeleteO.M.G. is RIGHT!!! Wow, I wish I lived right next door to you so I could go on the field trip with you!! You go, and buy, buy, buy, girl!!! :D
ReplyDeleteTo bad I'm not your neighbor. Think of all the neat fabric you could/can get.
ReplyDeleteOh man, wish I lived there! I would love some cheap brights to make more blankets for the Blanket Brigade. Oh well, you'll have to have fun without us, I guess!
ReplyDeleteBut ... if you see any cute dog fabric, maybe we could make a deal?
ReplyDeleteOMG - I suppose there's no chance that sale is in California? Have a ball and take lots of pictures! I want to see what 15,000 yards looks like! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis is just a test. I've had some comments emailed directly to me saying that they couldn't leave a comment.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I wanna go toooo!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I guess Colorado is too far even for such a great sale. Too bad.
Oh, man, I DO live here, but my son's 4th birthday party is at 10am that day. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I think you'd better start building a shed right now for the stuff you will be acquiring! I want to go!
ReplyDeleteJust be careful or you will be the one similarly donating your stash down the road.
OMG!! My eyes would be rolling back in my head. Good thing I don't live near there. If you go take picks! 15,000 yards?? WOW
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to move to Colorado!! But I thought you were clearing out your stash???
ReplyDeleteWOw -- I sure wished I lived anywhere close to you! I hope you get to go and I can't wait to see what you find!
ReplyDeletePlease include us in the field trip via camera! If you're an eBayer it looks like an opportunity to make a little extra cash.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is an awesome amount of fabric! Show us pictures please?
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine what that would look like, but hope you can go and take pictures!
ReplyDeletePaula didn't exactly say that she was going to attend the fabric auction, she was just sharing the announcement.
ReplyDeleteI am going to spoil the suspense and tattle. She didn't attend the auction, she prepped for...
Well she can tell you what she did, but I can vouch for her whereabouts 'cause I was with her in her sewing studio.
