**Jackpot!!**
 

about 8 yrs ago my great-aunts mother passed away. she was a seamstress for many years in Lancaster, PA and over the years acquired mass amounts of fabric. anyways, my aunt asked if i would want any of the fabric so of course, I said yes..... well, she brought me a truck load of boxes... all full of fabric. I put them away and forgot about them......

..... UNTIL TODAY!!!! I thought I died and went to heaven!!! There are hundreds of Dresden Plate pieces cut.... along with various sizes of squares..... WOW!!!!! 90% of the fabric is 1950-1960's era and I am lovin' it!!!!!

Now I just need to decide what I want to do with all this treasure!!!
:p

WOW!! Congrats to you! That sounds like loads of fun to me.

wow, jackpot indeed. now we need to see lots of pics of your creations :)

Cannot wait to see all the pretty things you will be making with all the fabric!!

You're a different one to me. I'm not capable of putting any material away without taking a peek...just don't have the willpower. Glad to hear of the treasures you found.

I've already got 2 hand stitched! I feel like a little kid with a new toy! I usually machine stitch everything so this is really something "new" for me! lol I just can't believe I've had all this in my house for all these years and didn't realize what I had!
