So, hubby sees an ad on CL for "Free fabric, come and get it!" and emails to get more info. The lady sent him the addy and off we went this morning. This lady is cleaning out her moms house, and the mom was a severe hoarder of ... yep, fabric!! She said to pick up whatever we wanted that had already been set outside and if I wanted more to call her back. We took everything outside, totally filled the car from the trunk to the front seat. She wasn't kidding when she suggested I bring a big truck. On the way home, I did call her and we headed right back after unloading the first haul, for another haul. After sorting thru both loads for over 8 hrs., this is what I have... over 1,000 yards of decent to real quality LQS fabric. Silks, flannels, plaids, ginghams, flour sacks, 3 quilt tops, 2 sets of blocks for more tops, 1 quilt that just needs binding, metalics, tons of other cottons and cotton blends that my head is literally spinning. I don't even know where to begin with getting this all organized. LoL! There are a lot of really cute panels and pillow sets, and even fabric that you turn into stuffed dinosaurs(no idea what these are called), ducks and a turtle. Here's some pics to help sum it all up.
My starting stash, don't laugh I know it was pathetic. ;-)
