What a WIN WIN situation for the both of you! I have some of those same fabrics! Keep us posted on what you make with all your new goodies!

Souns like a good trade to me. You are both getting something you can use. Diane C.

That is SOOOOOOOOOO sweet! If she didn't think you were worth it, she wouldn't have sent it. Maybe you can make her a little something in return! So glad you've been able to reconnect with someone in the past.

How sweet for both of you, have fun catching up

Wow, that's a nice lot of fabric there. She must not have any need for it or would have kept it. You never know, she may have a lot more she kept for herself. But...if you're still feeling guilty maybe add a gift certificate to a yarn store to the package you're sending her? You wouldn't want any pangs of guilt, however unnecessary, to bother you when using that fabric.

Wow!! Sounds like you really hit the jackpot! First renewing a friendship and then this! It's your lucky day!

How wonderful that y'all were able to reconnect!! This reminds me of at Christmas where you've made something for someone, they give you what they're giving you and then you rethink what you're giving them because you just don't feel that it's enough, but when you do give them your gift, they love it!!
So I'm sure she'll love the yarn and be so thankful that you thought of her..

I have 2 lawn and garden bags of yarn from when my mom died. I offerred to send it to her and she said "I have a little bit of material I could trade you for it".

So I though ok - but I was willing to give her the yarn for nothing in exchange.

I came home today from errands and I had THREE - yes THREE Large Priority Mail boxes on my porch - FILLED WITH MATERIAL. Some of its already cut but 2 of the boxes were nothing but folds of material - nothing less than a yard. I was going to lay it out and take pictures but I'm so over whelmed...Ladies I kid you not this has to be 30 yards of uncut material and over 100 cut squares and 100 cut rectangles.

I feel like the yarn I am sending her is no where near worth what she sent me.

Oh, the quilt tops you could make!!!! Sort of Stash Heaven!!
