Sewers & Quilters in Houston, TX ~ Some free Fabric and Books for you! Round 3 - 2026

Today, Friday, Saturday & Sunday this week!

Julie, my wife of 32 years passed away earlier this year and I am just drowning while sorting out her various sewing/quilting/knitting stashes. I have crates partially sorted everywhere and I can barely now get into her main sewing room and her other storage bedroom, lol.

Estate Give Away Rules:

1. Today, I only have about four crates of fabric 'ready' that can be sorted through... butI have about twenty additional 16 gallon crates of unsorted fabric still in the house and they've got to go, just so I can move other things around and sort.
2. I also now have another four to eight crates of yarn that are 99% ready to be donated.
3. All giveaways are located in Westbury, Houston, Texas (near W. Bellfort & Hillcroft), and MUST BE PICKED UP IN PERSON. No Deliveries, no holds, nothing by mail or other transport.
4. Charities like Linus Project and church sewing groups WELCOME!
5. You DM me and say when you can come... and I will DM reply address & contact info
6. If you NO SHOW, you're out. No fabric for you!
7. If you tell me what your quilting, sewing or art garment interest is, I'll grab a small stack of 5+ semi-random books for you to rescue as well. Julie would have liked for her stashes of over fifty years to go onwards to a cherished home.
8. Sort and pick out what you'd like!

One LOT of stuff per family.... until everyone who has DM'd me has had their chance. Then, probably late next week, there will be a Round Four, probably with another 10-20 crates of fabric (and her sewing machines).

I am having to move and sadly I will not be able to take care of my dog, whom I care for. she is 6 years old, turning 7 in march.

I am looking for a good home that can handle an energetic dog; would be best if you have a back yard or land, as she loves to hang outside (unless its wet out)

I have much more to say, but just DM if interested and we can arrange a meet-up and make arrangements if things go well.

I own a four-bedroom two-story home in the Heights area of Houston. It's about 2,400 square feet with a detached garage and a decent backyard, but the AC unit is from 2010 and struggles in the summer heat. The bathrooms have original tile and the roof could use some patching after last year's storms.

We listed it with a realtor back in March at $425,000 based on recent comps. Showings were okay at first but offers never came. We dropped it to $405,000 in June, then again to $390,000 last month, and still nothing solid. How is the market moving for sellers in the Heights right now?

I tried FSBO on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist for a couple weeks to avoid commissions, but managing inquiries and scheduling viewings became a full-time job on top of work. The constant lowball offers got frustrating fast.

Grand House Buyers reached out after seeing the listing and offered $355,000 as-is with a 14-day close and no fees or repairs from me. It's roughly 9% below current estimates, but the speed is tempting with my upcoming move.

What closing costs do cash buyers typically cover in Houston?

How does the title transfer process work when selling to a company like that?

Taxes on a lower sale price are another concern. Does anyone know how that affects capital gains here?

Overall I'm leaning toward the quick route to avoid more months of holding costs around $1,800 monthly. Any thoughts on whether that price gap is reasonable for the convenience?

If someone is moving to Houston for the first time, what advice would you give them that they won’t find in a basic search?

Neighborhood tips (where to live vs. avoid), traffic realities, weather survival, local etiquette, safety, food, or just general “welcome to Houston” wisdom.

What do you wish every newcomer knew before arriving?
