OMG. That lady that I got all that fabric from recently. That I STILL HAVENT finished going through called me and woke me up a bit ago and asked me if I was still interested in more fabric...well naturally I said yes. So her and I made arrangements for me to come over on June 1st. to pick it up. She told me there was AT LEAST that much more for me. I am so excited. Now I HAVE TO finish getting the last haul organized. LOL. I am so excited I have a peach pie in the oven for my husband, its his favorite pie in the world. I am doing the happy dance once again.

Great find for you .... reap the rewards and ENJOY!!!

Huntannette, I love your avatar. I have done a little painting on rocks. Your flowers are so realistic! My animals were okay but my flowers left something to be desired. I have 4 of her books and need to get back into it but quilting has taken over my life.LOL

tomilu 05-21-2011 03:42 PM

Someone on this group got 25 boxes of fabric for her charity quilts. Not all was useable, however. But she passed it on to others who could use it.

Wow that is alot of fabric. That is cool that someone gave it to her. I am passing on some now to a lady that does charity quilts too. And I will probably pass more on from the next batch.

You are so lucky. I keep watching craigslist hoping to find a deal like that.

From one "Webfoo" to another----very happy for you. Have fun

gypsylady5 05-22-2011 08:07 AM

You are really blessed. It is so nice to find a stash that a quilter wants to share. There is love there and it will come with the fabrics. Have fun and make her a quilt with her fabrics. I know I would love to see what someone is doing with what I give them.

Twisted Quilter 05-22-2011 08:14 AM

Wow, I can only imagine what you're going to find at the storage unit.

You Go Girl!

I loved living in Grants Pass. One of my favorite places. I think Oregon is one of the most beautiful states I've ever visited and I've been in 49 of the 50. Working on cruising to Alaska someday before I die.
