I told folks who asked me what I would like for Christmas to buy me 3 yards of fabric.....and now I have 32 new yards of fabric. I like all of it!! I have all kinds of ideas bouncing around in my head, and sort of wish I hadn't decided to finish three quilts before I start another. (Of course, I can always let those three tops just wait. Two have been waiting for 6 months already. :) )

What a nice way to get something new and different for my stash...

:thumbup: Have creative fun!

That is a great idea! I'll have to try that one next year. :)

Hey! I like that idea! Great way to get new material.

What a great idea!! Pictures?

me too

Yeah....a new stash pile...good for you!

Me Three!!!

Show us! Show us!

Now that is a GREAT gift.

What a great idea. I may try that next year. Have fun with it.

What wonderful gifts :D:D:D

That's what I like about this Board ... so many great ideas!

What a great idea...never thought of that before would really help build up the stash!!! (Guess what I'm getting for my b'day, xmas next year LOL)

Thats great, ideas will abound.

That's cool!! I got 6 yards and 6 solid charm packs.

Great idea. Good for you.

Great idea and would love to see pictures!

What a great gift!

Somebody didn't stick to the 3 yards! LOL

What a cool idea I may need to use that next year.

Lucky You! Have fun...

wow 32 yards of fabric. What a windfall. I think it is fun to work with fabric someone else picked out. I once received a bag of fabric from an elderly friend who was moving and had to downsize. It was so neat to organize that bag of fabric and think of her every time I use a piece of it. In fact when I do use a some, I send her a photo of what I did with it. It thrills her to no end to see that fabric in a project. Takes so little to make another person happy. I know it hurt her to part with her beloved stash and she is so happy to see it used. Even made some place mats and table topper from some and sent that to her for her BD. Again she was thrilled.

That is a GREAT Gift Idea!!! I think I'll try that next time!!!

Wonderful!!!!!

That's a great idea. I hope I can use up enough of my stash in 2011 to use that idea and not feel guilty for asking.

What a great thing to ask for. Enjoy your new haul.

Another possibility would be to make quilts out of those fabrics and give them back in 2012 as Christmas presents to those that gave you the fabrics.

Happy Quilting!!

I like the way you think!

Now that is strategic planning. You gotta love it.

Happy 2011.

WOW - what a great gift -

Me four!

I wish I would have thought of that. I hope I remember it next year. Clever idea.

Oh Wow. What a nice gift. I would be in heaven if I got 32 yards of fabric. Of course, my stash is already huge but I just love the new quilting fabrics that are coming out.

Awesome! Lots of UFOs and that is ok.

I got a card to hancocks and a bag of 1 yard pieces about 10 and also the cutes sissors holder. I also got an oversized spool of thread with 2 great big needles to decorate my sewing room.

Great idea. Happy quilting for sure!

My stepson, who has frozen me out for the last 9 years, got me a present this year - I was totally shocked when he got me a gift certificate for JoAnns. Not only was it a good gift, he'd actually thought about what I like and gotten me something that would appeal to me.

What a great gift idea. Wish I had thought of it! Any pictures?
