How surprised and happy one can be, good for you.
|
Looks like everything is in great shape and now it's time to get quilting.
|
I moved in 1966 and am still missing a box of good knives. Guess they are gone forever since I have moved once more since then and they still didn't show up.
|
I moved here 8 years ago & finnaly got to the fabric in the closet from the move. Still have boxes in all the bedrooms & keep finding things. What an eye opener.

Oh, must be some material that I got in the garage sale boxes. I then pulled another piece out, and the same thing. I don't even remember where they came from. lol I ended up going through most of it and found enough to do 3 of the quilts.

Wow! Just like Christmas!!
|
Oh boy, can I relate! All my stuff was packed up in late 07 to "stage" the house. Moved in early 08, but didn't finish the basement sewing room til spring of 10. I just stuffed things into my fabric cabinets to quickly unload the boxes. In addition, I had a lot of fabric in baskets and plastic containers. Have yet to reorganize everything. And then we have the little problem of where to store the new stuff I bought. The other day I ran across a UFO I had completely forgotten about. Still haven't found my pretty little Gingher pewter embroidery scissors. I am hopelessly ill and loving it!
|
I love when stuff like that happens. It's like Christmas but better because it's already paid for! :-D
|
After our last move 3 years ago, I can't find my "special" things, like gifts from very special people in my life that can't be replaced. Maybe this spring and summer they will surface. You give me hope. :-)
|
Awww...glad you have them back with you.
|
You are one lucky Mama. It's like Christmas isn't it when you find something like that.
|
Isn't that a wonderful feeling? Almost like a trip to the Quilt Shop. I am still finding things since our move a year ago. If anyone sees those little black snips of mine, please hang onto them for me, I miss them
|
Packed up when we tried to sell the house (fail) and still have much missing fabric.....sigh!

|
Very pretty fabric.
|
I got all my stuff out of storage finally and still haven't gone through all of it yet...
|
Oh My! A stash to envy...So glad you found them.. What a treasure!
|
Congratulations! I'm excited to see what I find when I go through all the boxes my parents left with me when I moved into my own house last spring.
|

|
Hot dog! That's great!!

funny you mention this topic. My husband went into the garage attic and brought down some boxes left there 27 years ago after our move to this house. Well, there was my sewing machine cover made by a friend, my green singer box of feet...those really looked old. I was unaware that they were on the missing list!
|
Well you need to pet your newly lost but found fabric. Have fun quilting with it!
|
I definitely know how happy you must feel. We recently downsized from a three-bedroom home to a two-bedroom apartment (talk about having to purge and condense fabric). It was especially hard since I got all my sister's fabric when she died a few months before, so it was emotional on two counts. Now that I'm finally getting somewhat organized, I go to look for a fabric I knew I had and then remember that I got rid of it. Fortunately, my girl friend took several totes off my hands, so I think I can talk her into giving me some of it back. Guard that fabric and then enjoy what you can do with it. MargeD

I love your earings. Wish I were into beadding. Just not into enough to make it worth my $$. K |
nice stash
|
Yay! Always fun to find fabrics and things we forgot about! I also recognize some of those in the stack! :)
|
A little off subject, but last night after watching "Hoarders", I decided I needed to get rid of something in my house so I saw a bag in the back of my sewing room. I got it out and it was some clothes I bought last year and then couldn't remember where I put them. I wore them to work today.
|
My daughter and sister moved a lot of my sewing stuff to the spare bedroom when I got longarm. I am still finding things I need or forgot I had. One of these days I have to clean that room and the other 7 rooms of this house. Right now I have the quilting bug.
Congratulations on finding your box of fabric. It is like Christmas! |
oh happy days! Now you have different colors to play with from the usual ones....
|
Hope you find many more things you cherrish
|
It's so nice when we find something it means more to you. Happy Quilting beautiful colors.
|
I do not want to think about packing my stash, NO WAY. But I am hoping to put it up for sale in the nest year or two (the house that is).
|
What a wonderful surprise ... enjoy those beautiful fabrics.

This is why I like this QB so much because you are all so much fun to read, laugh, be happy and be sad with!!!
|
At the price of fabric, that was at least a find of a couple hundred dollars, right?
Congrats! |
