i just started the "omigosh" quilt..double nine patch that is 5" square when done..need 111 of those and 110 of the 5" shoo fly squares...i could have each and every pc of fabric be different ....(most are finish size 1/2 " )
where is this stranger, and will he/she look at me funny when i'm hopping up & down & kissing them?? |
Without a doubt.
|
No problem. Getting all the projects done would be the problem.
|
I don't think I would have a problem spending it
|
Wow - $15,000 ... that's a lot of fabric. Just think, you could buy all the batiks and blendables - not to mention a ton of other things - and you could buy the whole bolt!! I'll take that challenge. Plus there are home economic departments at many schools that you could donate lots of fab fabrics to.
|
Only fabric, or sewing stuff? I would get another sewing machine, Books. rulers then fabrics.
|
not a problem for me i can send in half a day and i know there to go buy lol
|
Online or in person? :lol:
I love to shop online and I am sure that I could spend that in one day. |
YES, please!

One of my DFs finally did make the Omigosh finally, and it is out of this world to see. It's the kind of quilt I really admire, would like to think I had made it someday! OMG display quilt in shop hop LQS [ATTACH=CONFIG]85911[/ATTACH] Corner of OMG [ATTACH=CONFIG]85912[/ATTACH] Blue "table centerpiece" scrap !! (center of window!)

YES, BUY UP SOME STORE'S CONTENTS,ESPECIALLY LIBERTY!
|
Give me the $$$ and I'll see what I can do !!!! :D
|
I would definitely give it my best shot!! That would be so much fun.
|
What a question to ask on a quilting forum! I just hope it would happen early enough in the day to get it done before the store closed!
My local church quilting group "Patchwork of Grace" would probably get the majority of it. |
I could easily spend that much. But would I have room in my house for all that I purchased? That's the real question. :D
|
Sure would love to try.
|
is this a trick question?

I have already responded to the question but I shared this proposition with my son and husband (who are very tolerant, even solicitous, about my addictions to fabric, patterns, tools, and sewing machines). It took my husband several minutes to stop laughing...he even had a couple of tears run down his cheeks. My son's reaction was a little more vocal but bottom line was concerned, like his father, that I'd have nothing to do in the afternoon!

I'd die trying! <G> And I know just where I'd start. I'd be buying batiks by the bolt, in every color of the rainbow. And for that kind of money, I'd invest in some good quality silk to make a silk quilt or two or three. Boy, that set the dream machine working!
|
Oh, silks...what a great idea!

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. |

:) 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!! |
Definitely worth a try!

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

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!) |
