A friend was de-stashing and sent me some fabric. In the bottom of the bag was a newspaper print fabric with this story. (see pic of the newspaper fabric below).

Police Officer Jim Schneider was first to arrive on the scene of a domestic disturbance where a man was found buried under an extraordinarily large pile of fabric. Neighbors reported hearing muffled cries for help and phoned police to investigate. Upon arriving at the home, police made their way through mounds of quilting and sewing supplies to find the man, Thomas Baker, buried under what appeared to be a huge cache of fabric. The fabric apparently belonged to the victim’s wife, who was out, at a fabric sale, at the time of the incident. “I told that husband of mine not to go in there” his wife. Estelle, said. “It’ll probably take me three weeks to get those fabrics back in the right piles”. “Darn fool husband”. When asked about his wife’s rather large fabric collection, Baker, who was fine once he was freed from the pile of fabric, was quoted as saying , “You should see the room that holds all of her notions!”

Well, if hubby's only listen to their wifes than they won't get into problems like that :lol:

I love newspaper print fabric! I worked for our local paper 12 years before the kiddos. I especially love fake articles! We did those all the time.

too cute :)

mmm I wondered where he had been...now I'll quit blaming the cats for the mess in there

LOL!! Too funny!

Husbands never listen, and they wonder why there is a problem. Thanks for the good laugh.

If I were you I would frame that fabric and hang it on the door to my sewing area.... Just as a reminder to the hubby! LOL

LOL!

Love this....my husband knows better...lol

Oh that is too funny. Wonder if you can buy that fabric!!

I made the curtains for my sewing room out of that fabric!! It is too funny.

I've never seen humorous newspaper print fabric before. It would be wonderful to accent any sewing room!

This is wonderful fabric. Anyone know where to get some?

Good one!

I googled it and found some others, the closest I came is the link to this thread.

I think it would make a great backing and wonderful for things in the bathroom like tissue covers and curtains since people usually need something to read in the bathroom! :lol:

For Real? Where Is That Fabric [besides being part of the avalanche]? Please, tell us.

At least the quilt police showed up.

LOL!

Too funny.

Oh that's so funny. I've never seen fabric like that - I'll have to start looking for some.
