I think I'm hopelessly addicted and the worst kind of addict---don't try an intervention here. :lol: Not only do I love fabric, I just can't seem to pass up such a bargain. It's all been washed now so no more smoke smell at least until I go back. I'll divide it up and have some to share with my sisters when the come down from Michigan for a visit. If I go there they always send home a bag of fabric and if they come here I send one home with them. There's always one "challenge" piece in it---one piece that is so ugly that the recipient will be challenged to use it. Then we send each other pictures showing how we used it. A couple of years ago they send me home with a greeny-gray and road paint yellow camouflage fabric that also had a pale blue orchid every 8". I used it for a prairie skirt for my daughter and fussy cut one of the orchids to applique on the road paint yellow prairie blouse I made for her. It was far prettier than it sounds. My daughter was complimented many many times on her outfit and my sisters had good laugh when I said, "You never said I had to use it in a quilt."
