Hi everyone!
My cousin called the other day saying that she had a bunch of fabric for me to pick up. She said, you just won't believe all of this fabric! I explained to her that being a quilter, I would believe alot of fabric.lol She is a home care provider and the lady she was carrying for passed and the family told her to find someone who would like all the fabric and just give it to them. Since I haven't been feeling well my husband went over to pick it up bless his heart. He hooked the 12' trailer to the truck because he had no idea what alot of fabric might be.lol But he knew if it was anything like my "alot of fabric" he was going to need room.lol Well when he back home he has the entire trailer,the back of his truck and the front seat filled with boxes and boxes of fabric!! I will be going through this stuff forever. But bless her heart for thinking of me. And bless his for going after it. But since we are in the midst of him redoing the sewing room we can't put it in there right now. We can't put anything in there right now.lol oh my. :shock: :D

How sweet of them! How lucky for u!!

OMG. That does sound like a lot of fabric! Do you need help going through it? Wouldn't move it into the house without first checking for spiders or other varmits.

Wowzier! You will have to post pictures as you open it. I can't imagine where she had it all stored. You DH was a sweetheart to go get it for you and it was a good thing you didn't go with or you might have been the hood ornament on the way back :) Sounds like the truck was full.

How wonderful and what a great incentive to get better!

I agree with Quilt fanatic, wash and shake or air or something before bringing it into your house. I am a good housekeeper but I still get spiders and ants occasionally. They like me!

Wow, sounds as if you hit the mother load.

Lucky you (I *think*). I see a very busy washing machine in your future :)

Wow, what a blessing hope you will post pictures. Looks like everyday is going to be wash day for you. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh Boy!! I hope you post pictures!! I wished I lived closer cuz I sure would help. That sounds like soo much fun!!

Hi, neighbor. Now, that's what U call a lottttt of fabric!!! What a great haul!!!!



:thumbup: :thumbup:

Thats an amazing stash and what a gift from the family to find it a good home.

If it's just too darn much for you to store, maybe you could sell some of it and donate the money in the lady's name? I'm just imagining a 12' trailer... and a truck bed... and a truck cab... full of fabric. That is a crippling amount of fabric.

So....when are you going to open your fabric store so we can shop? That is a LOT of fabric!

If the saying is true - "the one with the most fabric wins".... I think you win. I could be wrong, but..... wow!

Wow! You are one lucky quilter.

It sounds like a truck load of fun! Do show a photo if you can of all that fun!
You are a lucky quilter!

oh wow. That's a ton of fabric!! Can we all come and play??

Lucky you

Wow! Lucky girl! I know you will find a way to organize and put it all to good use. Congratulations! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Wow, that is a LOT of fabric. If you only use 1/2 of it, it is still a lot of fabric. Reading Ann L's post I started to picture that scene in "Vacation" when the
Aunt is on the roof of the car with her purse in her lap!! Too funny.
Sue

Lucky you have fun with it all

WOW. you are going to definitely have to expand your storage for fabric, unless you want to share the wealth with us. hehe

When life is good ... it only gets better!

Re-doing your room? Getting a boatload of stash?

Congratulations .... HAPPY DANCE TIME everyone....

We have a winner!

WOW! You are so lucky. With that much fabric I would head to the laundromat with my color catchers and a good book. Enjoy!

Tammy,
You sure fell into it, didn't you!!! Way to go! When I fall into it, I usually come up smelling like it...you can figure out what I mean...LOL
Sounds like you'll be wayyy busy for awhile!
Enjoy!

Maybe you could rent a space for a couple of months just to get some breathing room?

MIght be worth it.

I am SOOOOOO happy for you! What a sweet DS to think of you and a sweet DH to go and haul it home :D:D:D

I can't imagine how much fun you are going to have when you finally get to start sorting and putting it all away!!

Wow! That's a lot of potential there in all those boxes! Happy sorting, and hope you can find lots to use!!

Can't wait to see the pics of you opening all these boxes. Enjoy!

Darren

Yay!!! Congrats!!!! What a find!!!!!!


If you need to lighten the load there are alot of members here who make quilts for charity that would love free and or deeply discounted fabric for their worthy causes..

Did you take a pic of the truck and trailer?
I can't imagime coming into something like that!
I think you are goin to need some help.

NO problem honey..I am right here in OK and I will come and take half the boxes off of your hands....be there by dinner time!

:thumbup: :thumbup:

Amazing!

Lucky you.

Wow! that is a LOT of fabric. Congrats on your great find.

WOW....Christmas in June!!!!!!

We want pictures so we can adequately rejoice with you!

Lol...It is true that it happened at a good time. I think I would rather be trying to put it in there when I start putting everything back in the sewing room. Instead of trying to fit it in.lol
