I can hardly believe it. I finally found one of my last boxes of fabrics. I wondered where all my whites/creams and yellows went and also found some of my lost rulers. I am a happy mama.

I know how you feel, I recently moved and am still finding things!! :)

Oh happy day !!!! so glad for you!!

Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D
Back with their Mama as they should be lol

Good for you! I know just how it is when you move and you know you had something but can't find it....

nice collection.

I also found two sewing books that my husband's mother gave to me that I LOVE. She has been gone for over 7 years now.

Feels like Christmas I'll bet. Nice.

Wow! Wish I could find that in my shed! Enjoy it!

Thanks lovelies. I am eager to get back out in the shed and start putting a major corner together. I have one more shelf of things to search though to see if there is anything else I missed. I have been feeling like there are purples missing that I know I had but can't place them. I hope there is another birthday present just like this still out there with them in it. Oh happy day!

I know your feelings. I had my things packed away for 1/5 years and it was so exciting to find my goodies as we cleared out. Yea for you! Now, what else will you find????

I am really hoping for some purples. I am lean on them and don't think I have unpacked any since I started this 3 years ago. I will be sad when there are no more boxes to unpack.

I'm in the same boat... moved twice in 2 years and didn't unpack any sewing stuff during that time. When I find something now, it's like I've been shopping. Woo-hoo!

:thumbup:
It is Christmas!!!!
:)

wow! great finds !

I'll bet you treasuer these books. Glad you found them :)

How exciting! I'm happy for you :-P

so glad for you

I'm still missing a rotary cutter from a move 17 years ago!
Great fabrics I would have been missing them Too!

Not lost - Just misplaced is my motto...........

Nah, you don't have to be sad. Just order some online and you'll get a box from the mailman!!!!!!! lol

awesome treasure you uncovered!!

I know the feeling... I moved three years ago from VA to MI and still have machines and fabric in VA and NC. Slowly getting it all here!

Makes it just like Christmas, have fun.

If I would just clean up my sewing room I'd probably find some nice surprises too

Aw, great find!

Good find. Keep looking; who knows what else may be hiding.

Some one is doing the happy dance!! Can't stop now-specially when you feel there is more! What a good feeling to find something after all the years.

Oh, yes, just like Christmas! Glad you found them, now you gotta figure out what to make :) start looking thru those books!

wow..how was it stored...be sure to test for dry rot...and check for moldy smells before bringing it into the house...

a whole new stash if it is still good!

Congratulations on your find! I moved 7 months ago and haven't found my 2 24" rulers, an Olfa cutter and a quilt for my youngest DGS that was ready for quilting! Beats the heck out me where those things got to or HOW they've disappeared! They were with all my sewing stuff when I packed!

Not moldy, not stinky, I stored EVERYTHING in a DRY environment with a small heater going in winter, in a sealed shed, in a UHAUL box with a black heavy duty garbage bag surrounding all the fabric. I packed everything in a bag and then in the box. I have only found one thing out of thousands ever tarnished slightly by packing this way. How would I test for dry rot?

if it rips OFF grain, and makes dust it is dry rotted...I have only seen this happen to really old fabric stored in a shed...

sounds like you are in luck...and up to your ears in NEW stash...just in time too with prices going like they are!

I've been in your shoes :lol: . It's like Xmas all over again when you come across them. Or a free shopping trip to the fabric store! After my last move here 3 years ago, I came across a box of fabric that came from my mother's house...and she passed away in 1985!!!. I have a serious fabric problem :lol: :lol:

Merry Christmas! I love it when I find something I thought was gone.

Ohhhh, I think that stack of browns is mine. I know I've bought one's just like it. It has to be mine. Oh well, guess I'll have to keep searching. LOL Lucky lady!

We moved in the fall and still have many boxes stored in the garage that I can't go through until it warms up. "Come on Warmer Weather".

OMG, how great ! It's just like Christmas to us quilters. lol

I sorta did the same thing last night. I have 5 quilt tops that I need to finish, so I picked out one of them and went looking in my stash to find a backing. I came across some pink material that matched, so I pulled it out and stood there looking at it. Where did this come from? I don't remember buying this. Oh, must be some material that I got in the garage sale boxes. I then pulled another piece out, and the same thing. I don't even remember where they came from. lol I ended up going through most of it and found enough to do 3 of the quilts.

Whoa, I hope I find a lost box like that....

I feel that way all of the time. I've got fabric that I forgot I had. I can't stop myself from buying though. It's an addiction.
