Overview

"Kira doesn't stand down to anyone. She goes head-to-head against the best of them, fighting to the end for the vintage fabric that fills the pages of her Etsy shop, DodOddity. She is obsessed. She will drive far and wide for the promise of a chance to wade through dust, grime and animal feces in attics, basements and hidden spaces to rescue every last piece of glorious fabric left behind by fellow textile enthusiasts. She sucks up to the auctioneers who conduct the sales and small-talks family members for the history behind the stash, all while side-eyeing the competition. When the bids start to fly, the fixed-income senior ladies don't stand a chance and the eager, optimistic small-time quilters soon realize that they should have just stayed home. Usually, it is over quickly, disappointed faces but little bloodshed, and Kira's truck packed to capacity. Other times, there is a redhead in town... and the fight is on. Whether victorious and cocky or humbled and broke, Kira shares the stories behind the fabric in the whimsical ""rooms"" of her online shop and now, in the pages of this book. Thirty-three tales of the best and the worst, the triumphs and defeats, the auctioneers, the people and of course, the fabric! It's all part of the game... until Thieving Thelma steals."
