I love love love the butterfly fabric. are you going to be passing on the luck or keeping it all?

Fran Juern 05-11-2011 10:58 AM

What and where is Freecycle?

suezq 05-11-2011 11:00 AM

Looks as if you are going to have many busy hours quilting with all that fabric.
Being new to quilting I am completely confused as to how you get free fabric, as I have already spent hundreds of dollars buying all kinds of fabric, including batiks.
I am really looking forward to enjoy the creation of many quilted items.

Good for you! Enjoy.

Lady Crafter 05-11-2011 05:26 PM

If that is M&M fabric in the first picture, you have a goldmine. That is sought after fabric, for a good penny. It is all BEAUTIFUL fabric. You are indeed lucky!

quilter in the making 05-11-2011 05:27 PM

Lucky, lucky you! There's a few fabrics in there I'd just love to have. Enjoy.

booklady 05-11-2011 05:54 PM

I never seem to get those type of things on Freecycle. But I'll keep watching!

hperttula123 05-11-2011 06:40 PM

That is great fabric!!!

countrycottage 05-11-2011 07:41 PM

You are lucky!

CruisingStef 05-11-2011 08:17 PM

I was just introduced to Freecycle. I simply love it. Last time I traded with someone in my area, I also received some fabric. I had "gifted" something else, but included that I am a quilter and would like any amount of unused fabric.

This is a wonderful site....being able to recycle!!!

leiladylei54 05-11-2011 08:26 PM

Terrific!!! Lucky you!!!

sew wishful 05-12-2011 02:12 AM

I have been searching for "coffee" fabric in my area (which, admittedly, is a small area with the closest Walmart 40 minutes away and of course I work in the opposite direction) and here you find it in freecycle!! We are doing a Ladies Event in June with a coffee theme and I wanted to make some mug rugs with coffee print material. Lucky lucky you!! I see lots of fun in those pics!!! Can't wait to hear what you do with some of them.
