Default fabric

My dh called and said his boss gave him some fabric. I was expecting junk. Was I wrong! i got 3 shopping bags and one trash bag full of fabric. one was all batiks. Of course I shared it with some friends. I have so many batiks, i don't know what to do with it all. Just wanted to share my good luck with all of you. all of it was great quality fabrics too. No Waste.

I can give you my address when ever you are ready! I just love batiks. :-)

I just now noticed that you are on Long Island. My mother was born in Richmond Hill, and grew up in Babylon, and Hempstead.

I think I would look for a quilt pattern for batiks. Maybe one of the intricate applique patterns since they fray less. Congratulations on your wind fall!

I like to wear summer dresses and tops made with batiks. They are very cool (literally) and summery looking done with the right colors.

Have fun with your windfall!

That's so nice of his boss. It's always fun to go thru fabric, and to get it for free, even better.
