Yes there really was 20 tons, I immediately got rid of about 8, now I am not sure how much is left in terms of tonnage but a lot. I think at least 4 elephants now down to 2.

When I googled what weighed 20 tons this came up.
I couldn't envision how much room that would take up or how much fabric that would be. However, I also can't imagine 4000 cats.
Isn't that amount of fabric scary?

All of you have wonderful ideas, I like the raffle idea quite a bit. I have offered some of it on here and none of you seem to be interested. Some of it is really hard to describe and some of it is in odd sized pieces.
I will offer it for quilt backs- that is a great idea for the larger pieces, the light weight drapery is excellent for that.
You all did not scare me one bit - I am getting ready for a show in 2 weeks plus DE- STASHING! I'll get some pics up for you I promise.

That Bernina is on my studio floor, it is my spare. My garage is nasty.

Some of you asked for pictures so here you go - this is just what is left in the garage.
Reading some of your comments has inspired me to do a PRE- garage sale day for those of you who live close by. Bring lunch, coffee, tea, your friends and you can go through what I don't want, I might even let you go through some of what I think I want to keep. I'll put out some of the things I have used it for to give you ideas, you may have your own.

The fabric is vintage pre 1980, mostly from the 70's all kinds of stuff and not much cotton. The machine is a Bernina.
