Quilters Seek Out Yard Sales
Quilters were excited today to find my daughter had quilting supplies, particularly fat quarters, at our yard sale again. Weather permitting, our family often holds a yard sale over Labor Day weekend. Today was no exception.
I enjoy chatting with quilters about their projects when they bring their items (fabric, quilting notions, books, and patterns) to be totaled. One lady had never heard about the fabric postcards that are so popular nowadays. So she wanted to know more about them. We chatted until her family insisted it was time to go. I hope she goes home and starts making these interesting fabric art items.
Another lady who picked up a number of fat quarters and other fabrics said she was a home ecomomics teacher. She also taught crafts in adult education classes in the evening.
Sometimes men get quilt books for their wives. However, with more men engaged in quilting these days, they look for fabric and fabric art ideas for themselves. One gentleman was interested in a book on origami quilting.
