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!

Oh my, lucky you. Put it all to good use. She will be pleased.

OH wow...lucky you. Let's see a picture of your new treasures!!

WOW Congrats !!!!! Show us pics of your new loot .. Id love to see the vintage ones..

Wow! what a great windfall..........love to see what you do with it.....bet your aunt would be thrilled if you made her a lapquilt with some of it!

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.

Sounds like your ship has come in. Good for you.

Oh lucky you! If you need help sorting give me a call! What a great windfall!

Congrats! Pics. we need pics!

woo hooooooo!!!! Wish it was me!! I'm on a no buy stretch due to work slowing up(Sigh)

Wow! You did hit the 'mother load'! Sorry to see her leave this great state but hope she does well in Alabama. Now the fun begins-washing, ironing, sorting, cutting!!!!

In 30 years my daughter is going to post the same thing (maybe with the place names changed)

I am Happy Dancing with you.

Congrats!!! I can't wait to see what you make!

What a treasure!! I hope you'll post a photo or two.

don't you just love those days........

Happy Stitching!

Oh I am so happy for you. I want some of your inheritance even though I have fabric piled to the ceiling!;)

oh how fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My thoughts exactly!

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.

Lucky you!!!
 

Your are lucky indeed. Your aunt must love you a lot. Here's wishing you both well.

How wonderful! I hope you will post pictures! What fun you will have planning projects with all your fabric choices.

Oh you go girl !!!!!!!! WOW ! that is awesome !!

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

Congratulations and I'm sure you deserve it. How ownderful for you. HUGS

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

Wow! You hit the jackpot! Congratulations!

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!
