Oh Mj, I am buzzing!! Don't think I will ever sleep tonight, I am so excited!
I have to show lots of gratitude to DH who didn't bat an eyelid when I said I was buying the lot ;-)
I paid £125 which is an absolute bargain against UK prices, a fat quarter on ebay sells for around £2/£3 for good fabric, there are a lot of Benartex, Hoffman etc. beautiful quality, some of the fat quarters still have the labels on and she paid £2.45 each for them. There are 20 copies of Popular Patchwork, which uncannily, I got a subscription for my birthday last June, her copies run til the May...
I have no idea what the Marti Mitchel Templates cost, there are several group sets of the flexi templates, looks like you would use them for applique possible, hearts and stars etc. but I bet they aren't cheap either!
