Forgot part of the story about the bolt of bike fabric... that was 02/02/2020 and with the bolt of fabric (which I had put down once and grabbed again on the way out), the total was $20.20 and I have the receipt to prove it. So it must be lucky bike fabric!
I'm sending out some of my long-term collection boxes of fabric to people. I can tell I'm unlikely to have anything to add to them any time soon. If there is someone that I've promised something to that doesn't involve crumbs, children or the color purple, please let me know.
I thought I saved everything I needed from my messages here before I deleted them (mail box was full) but I'm already finding out that I'm not finding things... and various pieces of fabric keep coming to the surface that I think may need to be sent off. I know some of them are from Missingfabrics, it absolutely amazes me the number of times I have exactly what they want and I'm willing to send it to them free even and their ad isn't removed/updated and I'm never contacted. I have 2 fabrics and a stack of related fabrics that need to go into their boxes because they've been sitting out unclaimed for the last year.
