Opportunity to buy another quilter's stash
 
I met a lovely lady through our local online classifieds. She has had to give up quilting due to failing eyesight. I bought a box of books from her for $30.00 a few weeks ago.

She told me she would give me first dibs on her stash once she got it sorted. Well today I got an email from her saying come over this weekend.

I have no idea of her taste in fabric, so it should be interesting.

She said she has tools too.

I will take a look at the budget and go with cash in hand.

I will report back on Sunday.

Oh, how wonderful! I've had the opportunity to do this a couple of times and I've yet to be disappointed! Good luck, and congrats on the find!

Sad, she no longer can sew, but great that you may be gaining her stash. Let us know.

Enjoy shopping! This will likely be a win/win situation.

Yea for you... :thumbup:
Bet she will be glad to know her quilting stuff is going to someone that appreciates it!

I absolutely agree with HillCountryGal, she will be pleased to know that her stash will have a good home. Looking forward to hearing about your experience.

I hope you get a haul of good fabric! Post some pictures here if you do so we can all drool over it.:D

No matter how much you dislike the fabric, I still would get it if it's a good deal. How many times have we thought that piece of ugly fabric will not fit in anywhere, until it was mixed up with others, just to reveal it's true beauty.

Imagine how many wonderful quilts you can make to donate to charity. Some of the colors or patterns, that you may or may not like, will be greatly appreciate it by others who are really cold.
