Oh, silks...what a great idea!

You betcha !!!

I have been looking at all of your answers. It seems quite a few of you want things besides fabric. Well, since it is just a dream idea of a question, I guess you can get anything quilt related.

Someone asked about the movie. Yes, he had to use $30 million in a month and have nothing. But then he got $300 million. (Oh, man what I could do with that) ---- Cancer Society, Heart Fund, ASPCA, Food Bank, I could go on forever.

no, we wouldn't but we do love to share, right? I would love to be able to cut off yardage to just give people!!!!

I'm sorry, but $15,000 would not be enough.

:)

I could overspend in the time it takes to place one phone call.

Here's what I would do: order all of Hoffman's 1985 batiks, all 365 of them, 15 yard bolts, at wholesale, and... well, I would actually need over $21,000, plus shipping costs and... you get the picture.

And oh right, if I took 'em all home, then I'd also need to budget for another place to live!!

I'm with you on that one. It sure would be fun. I think I would spread the wealth around several quilt shops.

You mean I couldn't go out and get a Gammill with that? Damn!

Oh yes, I could spend that on fabric... I'd take the first flight out to Bali... and stuff a container full of batiks!

A Gammill lists out at $50k. 15k might give you a down payment

I like your thinking, maybe we could each get the $15k and share!

Works for me! :-)

What do you want? The lights or the darks? The smokys or the brights?

(Just please save some turquoise for me. Love that color!)
