a friend of mine owns a quilt shop and a lady came in there and ask her if she knew anyone that would want all of her material my friend called me to come get it they where 10 bags 13 gallon size bags already in color groups i cryed when i went and pick it up dont have pictures yet but will post later

OH, bless her heart! I am so glad for you!

You are definitely ONE lucky person to have Christmas in July!!! I can't wait to see pictures!!

I am so HAPPY for you!! :D I know your tears were tears for JOY!! Bless You!!
:D :D :D :D

thank you all very much the lady at the quilt shop gave me two kenmore sewing machines two days before iam having a field day with it all

Time to quilt,I'm happy for you!!!

Oh WOW! Lucky lady!

So that was you I saw going down the interstate!

My goodness, you have hit the jackpot. What a wonderful couple of days.

That is a great deal!!! Good for you :D:D:D

OH wow! You could turn out a quilt a week and never run out of fabric!

this reminds me of the story of the lady that had sewn and quilted for many years and had her whole house cluttered with many bolts and yardage of fabric. When she decided to open up her own quilt shop, her husband was THRILLED!!! He built shelves, painted, helped her with everything!!!! when he was done (so he thought) with the store he began to pack up her stash of fabric into boxes and into the truck, the wife asked what he was doing. The husband replied that he was just helping her move her fabric to her new shop. The wife had to explain to him that she had ordered a WHOLE new shipment of fabric for the store and she was NOT getting rid of her personal stash.
This is a true story that reminds me of my self and my husband, except for the fact of i do not have a quilt shop yet.

Wow and Wow again ! Glad your friend called you!

Aren't you the lucky one!

thank you all

And to have 2 sewing machine to boot! Yipee !!

yes iam grateful for anything like that

OMG! You hit the motherlode! LOL

PFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTT

*wiping coffee off the monitor*

Marsye.....good one!!
Allie.....good for you, sounds like you are just the right person to enjoy all that good stuff too!

Wow... Cool !!! :)
and what a nice friend to think of you, and know you'd appreciate.

Now you need to learn to sew with two machines at the same time! That would be productive with all that new fabric! Have fun! Quit pinching yourself, you're going to bruise! ;)

I don't know you but, I am so happy for you. Just make lots and lots of gorgeous quilts. Good for you.

OH wow what a nice thing to happen! Me and my neighbor were sparring one day about fabric. She said she was helping someone with a quilt project and would be having people drop off their donations and if I was watching out the window to not be jealous!
And I told her that I saw a catalogue my nephew had and that you could order leftover fabric odds and ends by the semi load and that I was going to have it parked in the driveway so not to be jealous...we laughed for ages!!!!

Now, open all the bags, dump them in the floor, jump in and roll around.


If you're going to use the fabric in any future swaps please keep your clothes on, otherwise it's your choice. LOL

You are having an awesome week :mrgreen: Have fun creating :thumbup:

Sew happy for you! You are going to have so much fun just sorting through it. Hope you have lots of space to spread it around. Once you have it arranged to your liking you will have a ball petting it until just the right patterns come to you. And then, boy, the sparks are going to fly! Hope you don't get a cramp in your foot! Just enjoy!

I am happy for you! I know you will find loads of quilts to make with your new stash! Love to see a photo when you get time!

Marsye is a hoot, but I suspect that your new pile of fabric will look very much like her photo!

Wow, that trumps my bargain. Free is always good!
