WOW!

I put a post on my local freecyle group for fabric and quilting supplies....and I am GOBSMACKED with what I got today...and I only went to 2 places.

The first place gave me tons of books...There are tons of the "In a Day" quilt books and other items, and 2 boxes of fabric.

The second place...5 large black trash bags of fabric. They were in clear containers by COLOR but the person wanted to keep the containers so I bagged them.

All I could think as I put stuff into my bags was...do you know how much fabric COSTS?!?!?

Anyway went STRAIGHT to Wal-Mart and picked up some clear containers....scrappy quilting HERE I COME!

Needs to say I was shocked at what people were willing to give away to make space in their houses....I feel like I should make them a quilt to say thank you! :)

So if you need stuff for projects...you might try seeing if there is a freecyle group in your area!
