Happy Dance for you!! Maybe there's more--like notions, rulers, and a machine-??!

Your first project could be a nice lap robe for her made from some of her material. I'm sure she would be thrilled to see you actually using all that stash.

There wasn't one piece of fabric I couldn't use. I was so excited. She also said there was more to come!

I love the quote below your reply. I'd rather be Biblically correct then politically correct

What a great thing for her fabric to come to you where it will be appreciated.

lucky you. I wish I had a relative who could leave me fabric. I taught my mom to quilt but she didn't believe in a stash. All I got was a few scraps...most of them came from me, too, as I would send her fabric!
