It thrills my heart to know that the fabric is being placed in the care of someone who will love and care for it as much the lady who passed away. Wonder if there will be more than just fabric when you start unpacking the boxes?????
|
Wooo Hooo! It's Christmas in (almost) July. What a celebration you can have.
|
Standing by, in case you need any help!
|
Yowza! Have fun ;-)
|
...wow - guess you were right...when one says a lot of fabric, they mean it!
Congratulations....and how sweet you were thought of.... May that fabric be put to good use and make many people warm and comfy under your quilts! |
OMG - a 12' trailer is the size of a ROOM!!! sounds like you could open your own fabric store. Hope you have a lot of help going thru all that.
|
Fantastic!
|
Makes my one room of fabric look like slim pickens!
Teeheehee Ruth |
Have fun! Just imagine what you might find! :thumbup:

What a haul!
I am in Okklahoma, too---when you get ready to thin it out. I always need fabric for charity quilts, as I try to make at least 3 per month.......AND I could always use some vintage fabrics to repair old quilts..... |

How great was that! It is great that the family realized that someone would just love to have it.
Enjoy! |
You have been mightily blessed. A friend who knew you quilted and cared. The family of the woman who passed. You precious husband who knows quilters and their stash and was willing to go and get the boxes. How wonderful!
|
WOW! and I was about to brag about my $5 purchase at a local garage sale!
|
It's even better than Christmas! Have fun!
|
Amazing.. just amazing..
|
Good for you!! Have fun sorting through and thinking up new projects!!
|
Please, please show pictures when you start opening. Hope there is lots of cotton!
|
BONANZA
J J |
Pictures if possible....please..
|
Sounds like it needs a room all to itself.
|
wow. you are blessed with good people around you. Bless there hearts
|
What an awful problem for you! :lol:
It will be a great deal of work to sort through it all...unless it was packed with some sort of organization to it! Perhaps your quilty friends will be willing to help you get it under control...and take a bit off your hands :thumbup: Are you close to me??? I'll help!!! |
You have been truly blessed!
|
Wonderful!!! Have fun!
|
Wow sounds like a blessing in disguise. How wonderful maybe you'll be able to make things to sell or open your own shop. Sounds like a lot of fabric was looking for pics. I think I have a love affair with fabric it's like it calls me as I walk by it. Have a good time sounds like a new sewing room to use also. Hope you have a good time and good health. Sue

My DH is going through OK right now. He can take some of it off your hands if need be! LOL!
|
I'm thinking you hit the mother load, the father load & the grandmother load. Soooooo excited for you, but agree with the others - shake it out first, especially since you have to store it. I just hate those pesky little surprises (LOL). FYI - I can't imagine having to wait to see what you've got - that must be driving you crazy. ENJOY and who knows what God will have in store for you with all that wonderful fabric.
|
Wow! We think we have a lot and then BAM! someone has more than we could possibly collect! Looks like you will be going through it for a long time making new discoveries and imagining new quilts you will make. I don't think my husband would be as accommodating to receive that much fabric but I would certainly give it a try. Have fun going through it all. Maybe you'll have to add on a room just to hold it all! :)
|
Goodness gracious!!! Pay it forward :thumbup:
|
It's awesome that it went to someone that will appreciate it. :) I'm sure the lady that had the fabric would have been happy it went to another quilter that would use it. :)

What a blessing. Were I in your shoes, I would pay it forward and invite my friends to come help sort it out and share it. The groups who make charity quilts would love some and lots of people could benefit, and you would still have more than you could use. Our guild had lots of donations that they displayed on tables and told the members to take what they wanted and leave a donation for the guild fund. There will be lots of charity quilts made from them.
I am glad you were the recipient and not me, but that is how I would choose to do it. Blessing of love and wealth to you. |
I'd say you have a very dear husband, who would go to pick up the fabric for you and now say "Now where are you going to put all this fabric?" I think he's a "keeper". I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of your completed sewing room. What a treasure to receive.
|
Oh, my goodness . . . . my niece has 'lots' of fabric and she hangs her fabric on hangers . . .
|
Sounds like you are going to have a lot of fun putting all that stash away when your room is ready
