My sister called me just a little bit ago and she is sending me all her fabric as she is giving up sewing and quilting. She is shipping 5 big boxes of fabric and when she comes this summer she is giving me my Mom's treadle machine. Most of her fabric comes from LQS.
|
Woo hoo!
|
Always sorry to hear when someone is no longer sewing or quilting but what a fantastic late Christmas present :)
|
Sorry your sister is giving up sewing and quilting but it's a really lucky day for you. I'm sure you will be in quilt heaven when those boxes arrive.
|
I'm not sure were I will put it all....but will figure something out.
|
Wow!! But I'm also sorry to hear she's giving it up. But I'm happy for you!! :)
I have some great machines but I want a treadle one of these days. Be sure to post a pic when you get it! Happy New Year!! :) |

So sorry to hear that DS is giving up on sewing, but happy to hear that she is passing it all on to you, especially the treadle :D:D:D
|
Oh my!! The quilting Angels just smiled on you big time!!
|
Your lucky!!!
|
Congrats!!!!!!!
|
sorry for her good for you
|
You lucky dog. It's nice that your sister is keeping it in the family. I would guess that it wouldn't be as hard to part with one's fabric knowing where it is going.
|
Smashing. What a lovely sister.

'Smashing', that just sounds sooo cute!
Free is always good, ENJOY. |
Good for you but bad for her. Why is she giving up?

Wow! I am glad she thought of you first. Enjoy.
|
Wow!!!!!!! What a lucky gal you are.
|
One thing my Mom and Grandma instilled in every one of us is always have lots of fabric on hand as you never know when times get tuff your butt is covered!
|
What a great gift, but it's too bad she's giving it up.
|
Wowser :thumbup:
|
You may be storing it for her as she will know where it is. She may want some of it back later. LOL
|
Congrats. Enjoy.
|
Sad to hear your sister is giving up sewing and quilting. :cry:
Happy you've hit the Jackpot though! :-D :-D |
Happy dance happy dance. I LOOOOOVE boxes from heaven.
|
Good to hear it's not a bad reason she is giving up sewing. How exciting it will be to go through the fabric!! Have fun!
|
Hey! everyone, I seem to remember that when someone has the "sewing" bug be it sewing, quilting or anything else, they will come back to it, may be awhile but they do come back!!
|
Oh, thats great, sorry to hear she is giving it up though, but you are lucky to get it. I think she deserves a nice quilt made from her fabric. grin
|
What a wonderful gift.
|
Hmmmm. Idea here. Would you want to make a quilt out of her fab as a thank you?
|
Wow!!!!! How lucky are you!!! I wish someone would pass a stash on to me!!! I think I would make her the biggest quilt I could for all that!!
|
Well...good for you but I'm sad for your sister at having to give it up. You'll make something beautiful with it though!
|
You might remind her you will share "her" fabric when she gets the quilting bug again, like when she retires! How nice she thought of you.
|
WOW!!!! I'm drooling....
|
I'm sorry to hear that she is quitting...but what a great thing for you!
|
ooh how generous of her. She sounds a lovely lady who likes to give. I would think that she never made herself a quilt so, as someone else has said, a lovely thankyou would be a quilt from her fabric with a note to say you'll share when she feels to time is right to quilt again.
