I've heard of taking candy away from a baby, but fabric away from a quilter? - now that's truly evil.

I second this. I once had my purse stolen, unfortunately for the thief, not a single piece of ID or cash was in it. I had put my checkbook and cards in my coat pocket to make them easy to access. The only thing of value I lost was a favorite picture of my son.

I am so sorry. That would just make me sick as I am sure it did you.I hope they find the thief. Was the fabric horses? Like the other lady on here said maybe we could all contribute some sort of fabric to you?I have a horse panel somewhere.If you would like it let me know by PM.

I have several yards of horse material I am not going to use...PM me and I will send to you (that is if you would like) I am with rexie I would like contribute.

Thank God she wasn't violent

First of all, thank God you were not hurt. People have been killed over less than a shopping bag full of stuff.

Secondly, I am so sorry you experienced such a scary thing. We all appreciate that you shared it with us because you are right...one never knows who is watching.

You know everytime I go back & read some more post on this the madder it makes me. I would love to get a hold of that gal & beat the living snot out of her. Who does she think she is. It also scares me because my parents are getting up there & they still go to the store & I worry about them. Not to long ago they were in McDonalds & this little 4 yr old punk ran into my mom & almost knocked her down & the little b just turned around & laughed. Where were his parents. Please be careful & always check your surroundings. I have lived with law enforcement too long & he sees a lot of bad stuff.

So sorry this happened to you.

Yes, check the dumpsters - those too lazy to work for a living won't be sewers either.
I had a similar thing happen - except that they nicked off with the bag of rubbish I had specifically put aside so that I could take it to the bin after I had finished packing the car. Of course, my ending was less tragic than yours - I kept chuckling all day about how they would have been really cross when they opened it!

How aweful. I'm so sorry, hope you are OK.

So sorry, but glad you are ok. I hate it when people steal things....if they need help, I sure would do what I could for them...but stealing is low.

one of my "saturday night pizza gang" asked if you had put it on your charge card--most of them have a theft/damage guarantee. it might pay to check with them to see if you are covered...

I agree.....my husband always carries a concealed weapon (legally) as things just keep getting worse. If I carried one to the fabric shop and someone did this to me I would end up in jail for shooting the thief.....you just don't steal someone's fabric!!

If you slept under a quilt made from stolen fabric, wouldn't that just be begging for nightmares? Let's hope so! :twisted:

I am truly sorry this happend to you or that it happened at all! Some people are so wacko its a good thing you didn't get hurt. )))HUGS((( to you.

I'm so sorry this happened. We all need to use this as a reminder to be very careful and aware of our surroundings wherever we go. Even so, bad things will happen. We are all thankful that you weren't hurt and your id wasn't stolen.

I'm with a couple of others. If you let us know what you bought, we might be able to help you recoup your losses from our stash:-)

Don't have any horse fabric, but I do have other fabrics I would love to share. Maybe Batiks or Moda basics?

What a horrible experience. I don't understand why people want to hurt others. I know you must feel so violated, I know we did when our house was broken into.

Gigi07 I am so sorry that this happened to you, this person not only stole from you but from your sister too. I am glad that you are okay.

People are HORRIBLE!!!!!!!

Gigi07 has a great idea! If you let us know what kind of fabric it was, maybe between all of us, we have exactly what you need in our stash!

Thank God you are alright!!!!! Hopefully somehow the fabric is recovered. It could have been worse, you could have been knocked to the ground and left bleeding. My brother had that happen. He was loading groceries in his van and some guy surprised him. He got hit in the face with a gun, and it left him bleeding. Took the groceries and his wallet. He had passed out from the pain. He is o.k. now. HUGS to you!!!!!

Good Grief! :hunf: That is horribble! And in broad daylight to boot! :thumbdown:
Sorry that happened to you! :(

Gigi ,

I am so sorry for you. I guess I believe anything can happen these days. Thank God she just grabbed the bag and not harm you.

I read a [supposedly-true] e-mail about a lady whose old cat had passed away so she wrapped him in his favorite blanket and set the wrapped 'bundle' in a large shopping bag saved from an upscale dept. store. She picked up her sister, at the shopping center, on her way to take her cat's remains to the vet for cremation so she could save his ashes on her fireplace mantle....

When she carefully took the bag out of the backseat and set it on the ground for a moment so she could put her sister's shopping in the backseat, the bag was snatched by a fast-running young woman.
She and her sister watched in horror as the thief raced away with the bag and locked herself in a car. She was so eager to see what she'd 'scored', she didn't even drive away before eagerly delving into the fancy shopping bag. The thief shrieked and jettisoned the fancy shopping bag and its contents out the window and sped away!

Hope that cured her of stealing!

THATS A GOOD ONE!! thanks for the chuckle I'm glad they got the cat back though.

That is so sad! (((Hugs)))

I'm so sorry...
