Quilters & Crafter's Yard Sale

Do you have craft items you no longer want or need—books, yarn, needles, patterns, etc.? Do you have quilting books, patterns, fabric, tools and other miscellaneous items you no longer want or need?  Would you like to pick up some extra cash this winter? Here is your opportunity to get rid of unwanted items.
St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 9 Summer Street, Augusta, ME.  will be holding a crafters’ and quilters’ garage sale on Saturday, September 28, 2013 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.  The garage sale will be held in the Parish Hall. We are looking for crafters and quilters interested in renting tables for this event. Set up will occur on Saturday from 7 a.m. – 9 a.m.

Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Tables may be rented at $25.00 for the day. If you want to split the cost of a table rental with someone that is perfectly fine. Advertising for this event will take place in all major newspapers in Maine and through the various craft/quilters guilds and associations.
