If a stranger walked up to you on the street and just handed you, something like $15,000 and told you that you could only spend it on fabric and had to use all of it in one day, could you do it? I got the idea from a movie called "Brewster's Millions".

I would sure give it my best effort!!! :D:D:D

Sure, no problem!

believe me,, i would shop till I drop!!!! Do not know if I would spend it all,, but giving a running effort!!

I sure could.

I could certainly spend the money, but USE it! I don't know.

I'd give it the old college try!

Its a challenge i could handle - where's the stranger!

:oops: YEP :lol: :thumbup: No problem

Maybe. You wouldn't have to worry about whether you needed it or not. Or could afford it or not. You could buy the whole bolt. Lots of them. Bolts of extra wide. Hmmm...could you sneak in a longarm?

If one assumed that there were 10 yards of fabric on a bolt and that the fabric was priced at $10 per yard -

that would be 150 bolts of fabric.

OH..If only..Darn, now I'm really daydreaming.

That would be good, but 300 half bolts would be better, then, SEWING PARTY at PAM'S Come and make some quilts. Rule: one to keep one to donate.

I would go to a LQS that had the best selection of batiks & get full bolts of everything. Then I would get a few full bolts of warm & white & warm & natural...if that would count! Full bolts of blenders and kids fabric would be next. Flannels!! I don't have any of that in my stash so whoooowee! Now I need to look at holiday prints..again full bolts please! I need as many bolts of 105" muslin backing as I can find, oh and whatever 105" blender backing too please. How am I doing? May I please get some of that garden prints...yes I'll take a bolt from the whole collection, thank you. Now that all of that is out of the way, I'll just stroll down this way and take whatever strikes my fancy. What do you mean I passed the $15,000??? I owe how much???? opps!

That should cover my Paff dream machine I hope.

Does buying a storage warehouse for said fabric count?? :lol:

NOT a problem! :)

You are so funny. You made me laugh on that one. I guess it would not be too difficult after all. :lol:

Not a problem :)

If I had a baby sitter I would go to Paducah and hit all the LQS's and go crazy.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, YEAH!!!!! Sewing machine, my dream machine!

I'd sure give it a try!

WOW!!! That certainly would make a huge number of quilts!! Way too many quilts for me to ever sew together in my lifetime!! So I think I would use quite a bit of the fabric for my students to make charity quilts!! They would love that!! ;)

I'd go to Marshall's Dry Goods and say pile up $15,000 worth of assorted cotton fabric. I'd let them do the work!

Without a doubt!!

I'm sure I could spend that with no problem at all. The poor quilt shop ladies would be exhausted at the end of the day, so I would do my best to just take full bolts. Now...where to put them when I get home.....that would be the problem.

Oh yeah!

I would go into my lqs and tell them that I wanted 3 of everything. That would take care of it!

Hell yes! That's a lot QOV fabric! Lets see if I bought retail @ $9.00 and the bolts were a minimum of 10 yds a bolt, that's only 113 bolts of fabric lol But I'm sure I could get a deal at an LQS if I ordered special and end up w/like 150 bolts. I'd buy 50 bolts of various blues, 50 bolts of various reds & 50 bolts various creams/whites. See absolutely NO problems spending it and not only that it would produce approximately 100 QOVs! My QOV group would be busy for a LONG time!!!!

See, it's not hard to spend $12k of fabric lol

I could do it in a few minutes. Give me the 15 grand and I'll show you. :0D

I would give it a great try!!!

I'd like to be given the opportunity to try! :D

Just fabric? Sure, in a heartbeat. Well, a few heartbeats. If I could spend it on something other then fabric I would be at the Bernina place in Vegas and tell them to wrap that bad boy up, I am taking him home. They have a long arm there with the computer stuff on it that is to die for. Give me a few months of practice and I could start a business. Of course I would have to move out of the bedroom to make room, or maybe the living room. Might even be a few bucks left over for a few yards of fabric.

sure would have fun trying!!

Not on just fabric...but I could easily spend it at my LQS. I would buy a new machine, one of those very nice cutting table cabinets, some software and spend the rest on fabric and notions. We can sure dream, can't we?!!

Sure I could - I'd get a longarm quilting machine and the rest in fabric please!!!

No Problem! Now this gives me something to dream about tonite! Oh,, Sweet Dreams!

In a heartbeat.

Now show him where I live so I can begin.
