Went in for a hair cut
and left with shorter hair and a bag of fabric!
My stylist does the hair of a 90 year old lady who
was a quilter and had to give it up. So she gave Tam
a big plastic of fabric.
Tam doesn't sew, so she gave it to me.
I can't wait to dig into this fabric I did spot some AWESOME
pieces but have not pulled anything out to really look at it.
I will post pictures when I get the bag brought up stairs
from the car (hand my hands full when I got home today).

hubs wouldn't let me bring the fabric in unless it went straight to
the washing machine, so ALL those small pieces of fabric are now
washing.
I just put them on a short wash cycle just to make sure that there
is not any allergens (smoke/pet hair) as I don't want his asthma to
get flaired up.

Had some material given to me twice this year and washed it right away, pre wash anyway. When I started sewing 50+ years ago (clothes) pre washed everything for shrinkage and color fastness. And as you never know where bolts of material have been stored and with what, if I wash I feel better.
Can't wait for pictures.

About half of this fabric I will be donating/getting rid of as it is just
not in my taste.
VERY few pieces (maybe 1/16th) is even FQ size for the most part
it is smaller than FQ scraps.
After washing it I have a large HEAPING full laundry basket of fabric
to sort.
Will post pictures later.
