Yep, I rub it, smell it and cuddle it, cut it, stitch it and even iron it. Fabric makes the world go around! Glad the kid in you got released. Enjoy the joy!

I think your getting those scraps was heaven blessing your project.

Enjoy!

Not at all...you were in the right place at the right time!! :thumbup:

Those scraps had your name written all over them. Good job!

I think that's great. Congratulations. What a nice LQS owner to do that.

No, your not insane!!!!! What a nice lady!

Whenever someone gives me fabric not matter the size or quality I just about cry. I love fabrics and if that makes me or you crazy then so be it.

I had made a comment on this QuiltingBoard that I want to make quilts from my stash for Quilts for Kids, but don't have children's fabric. So far, three ladies have sent me fabrics & soon as I get the 3 kit quilts that Quilts for Kids sent me to do, I'll start putting together the stash quilt. Making something for someone else who is in pain, esp a wee one in a hospital, makes me feel good.

You were in the right place at the right time. The owner may keep scraps to share for people just like you who are starting out. My favorite Aunt (she passed away May 09) saved scraps for me when I was a teen to make little pillows, & her & my Grandmother helped me make & quilt my daughter's baby quilt with Sunbonnet Sue's. As many here have said, quilters are such giving people. Pay it forward is a great feeling.

Holy Cow! I'd have stopped everyone I saw on the way to my car and shouted it to the heavens that I got FREE fabric! Lucky girl, being in the right place at the right time should happen to everyone at least once, it really makes your day!

One suggestion! Enjoy her generosity but make sure you reply by giving her a picture of the quilt you end up making. just so she knows it went to good use. This may cause her to do it again sometime.
