My s-i-l responded to an ad on Craigslist re: fabric. When she told the lady we make Quilts for Kids, the lady DONATED it ALL to her. It has taken quite a while to get it organized and displayed so we can see it all, but here it is. My DH came up with the idea of the closet rod. {{smile}} The closed boxes below are fill of felt, fleece, home deco, canvas, tulle, etc...that are not best used in quilting. There are two small boxes of flannels (at least 1 yd +) and the larger box on end is pieces of fabric less than a yard. Keep in mind, this new stash did not fit into my sewing room.....I have encroached upon another room...hehehehe.

That is wonderful! I am sure she is glad too that it will be used for a good purpose. I like to make donation quilts for the millitary and know that the cost of materials can become prohibitive. Congrats.
