Just when I thought I had my fabric shopping tendencies under control, a crazy good opportunity fell in my lap.
I met a retired long arm quilter a couple years ago when she was selling fabric from her stash for $4/yard. I went and bought a lot at the time. After calling her last fall to see if I could schedule another visit to take a friend, she mentioned she was now selling by the bolt. On a lark, I asked her how much she would sell all of them for. She didn't have a price. But about month later, she offered me a price and I accepted it.
It was 425 bolts! We took over a friend's hatchback and our compact car and it took two trips with them both filled up.
This is what I'm keeping. It's about 140 bolts. I bought the shelves too.
I'm planning to re-sell the rest. I don't have the space to keep it.
You should be set for years of sewing quilts! Have fun and enjoy your stitching!
