Huge Fabric Sale

Last week, we did final preparations for a HUGE fabric sale. Janet "Chickie" Bacon began the Sandy Quilt Show 11 years ago and is now in the beginning stages of Alzheimers. She donated her fabric from her garage - 38 large plastic bins of it. We set it up Wed. & Thurs. in two rooms of the Museum and the sale was on Saturday.

Peggy is cutting off some of the "swiss cheese" sections of fabric.Inger, Peggy, me, Linda and Shirley are making lunch size scrap bags for sale for $1.00 each

This is room number 1 of the fabric. Each table was stuffed to capacity.
This is one half of the larger room with tables in the back as well.
This is the other half of the room. We fanned the material out so people could see what was there and hopefully do minimum damage to our displayed fabric. That worked well.
Some of our shoppers with large shopping bags full.
Toward the end of the afternoon, we moved all the fabric into one room. We ended up with7 tables of fabric, spread out as much of it was gone. In the end, we refilled 4 large containers with left over fabric and one container with the scrap bags. Unsure of the amount made for the Museum, but we sold lots of fabric. And, I am happy to say, I only filled 1 1/2 shopping bags full and one scrap bag. Not bad considering how much fabric I could have purchased.
