As quilters, we're always on the hunt for exceptional fabrics to bring our projects to life. Sometimes, the most surprising and charming designs can be found in unexpected places.Here are some of the best strategies and locations for finding fabrics:
Swap Meets and Flea Markets
These vibrant places can be treasure troves for quilters. Occasionally, sellers offer unused bolts of fabric from excess inventory or closeouts. Just last Sunday, I found a vendor selling 30 different types of materials from 30 to 40-yard bolts at only fifty cents per yard.Garage Sales
These can be ideal for discovering quilters offloading excess materials and tools. Target neighborhoods with a higher number of retirees?"they tend to quilt more and sell their items regularly. Mobile home park sales often yield great finds.Online Auctions
Without leaving home, you can discover a wide selection of fabrics on auction websites. Be cautious about shipping costs. I focus on auctions in nearby states and often negotiate reduced shipping fees after the auction.Storage Auctions
These can be unpredictable, but worth exploring. Check local newspapers or contact storage facilities for auction details. Before bidding starts, you can peek inside the units for potential finds.Quilting Shows
These are competitive markets, but on the last day, you can snag blowout sales and bargains as sellers prefer not to haul excess inventory back home.Estate Sales
Great surprises often await here. Look for estate sales in newspapers, especially in areas with retired residents or mobile home communities for the best luck.International Travels
Traveling abroad opens up opportunities to discover beautiful fabrics in places like India, Thailand, and Africa. You might even fund your trip by purchasing extra fabric and selling it at quilt shows or local guilds.Classified Ads
Placing an ad in local papers stating that you buy fabric can attract sellers with surplus fabric to contact you directly.This list is just the beginning. Keep your eyes, ears, and mind open to opportunities for finding quilting fabric. Happy hunting!
