Hi Mimom,
I work a 14 hour day on Saturdays and did not get a chance until now to check out your sale. Would you please let the buyer of #1 - Navy blue with stars - know that I am desperate for 1/4 yd of this fabric? I make small flags for veterans and caskets of deceased soldiers. It looks like this fabric (thanks for the ruler on the side) is absolutely the right size for a field of 50 stars in them. I've been searching and I missed it. 1/4 yd would go a long way in making them and/or their families very happy.
I passed the message on to the person who bought the fabric and she replied:
Please cut the 1/4 yard and pass it on to her for me. I'll pay the full price but she is welcome to the 1/4 yard.
Thanks,
Joanne
I offered Joanne any piece of fabric from my stash and she declined.
If the whole world was like these people, we wouldn't have wounded soldiers.

That was so very thoughtful of the buyer. Kudo's to her and to you for offering another piece of fabric from your stash. And Kudos to the board member that makes these quilts.; )
