Our guild is so lucky. There was a lady that apparently was a member for a short time years ago. She recently passed away after a lengthy illness, and she was a long time quilter and quite elderly. Her daughters were helping their dad clean up the house, and they have found a stash of over 1,000 yards of fabric. Can you imagine? She sent me an e-mail and offered it to our guild members for $1 a yard. WOW!!! We are all getting ready for the super-duper fabric sale of the year!!! We are so grateful to her.
