My aunt is moving and cleaning out her house!

My 88 year old aunt is moving from Fort Worth Tx to Alabama with her son and is clearing out her house she has lived in for over 60 years. She asked if I wanted some fabric she found in her closet. She had been collecting fabric for years with the intent to quilt some day. Yesterday I received 3 huge boxes of fabric - all good quality cotton and some vintage prints. There wasn't one piece of fabric I couldn't use. I was so excited. She also said there was more to come!

I'm happy for you and your Aunt. I'm so glad my grand daughter is a quilter now. The thought of my supplies going to the trash were waying on my mind. My two daughters aren't interested in sewing AT ALL.
