Where do you all go to buy the fabrics you need for crafts?

I am looking to pick your brains really - I have loads of fabrics originally designed for curtains/upholstery that I want to sell. There is a real mix of patterned and plain - most are remnants left over from jobs but some are fairly decent meterage. I have had a quick look on ebay ... I just wondered where else arts and crafty people go to buy such things? Anything that doesn't sell will go to the local school or children's play centre but I obviously want to sell where possible. I have considered a stall at a car boot sale but I think it needs to be somewhere more art specific. Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated!
Have sent you a CAT.
sorry - 1YO is helping me type!!!

I'm happy to pay postage too... I have a 1YO and am 8 months PG so unless I can get there easily, postage is easier!!
I don't have CAT, I'm afraid, but I'm on ycbs @ fsmail. net

snickersnack ... the fabrics are in London so if you want to come and take your pick you are more than welcome to. I am fairly central!
bodiddly - I'm in London, but my parents live in East Herts. I wouldn't mind paying postage though...
ok am going to have to get organised about this ... need to take some photos and measure the pieces I have ... so I will come back to anyone that is interested!
Oh - also a fat quarter is a quarter of a yard (fold the yard lengthways then widthways to have four boxes - each is a fat quarter)
bodiddly I don't have cat but would you mind emailing me a pic of the linen you have (and a price!) my email address is blottedcopybook @ gmail dot com
Hi!
I don't think they all need to be pinks, but I suppose reasonably feminine for the majority - and I think it would look better with a mix, plains / patterns / checks / spots
