How nice for you:) I think it's great when someone gets something like this. Someone who knows the value of the find and will enjoy using the fabric and equipment. Good for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The amazing thing about this is that this was only a fraction of what she had. There were still books, magazines, patterns and fabric left. I wondered if anyone else ever came by later that day or the next. A lot of people were turned off by no electricity at all and it was a very overcast day. If that had been mentioned in the ad, maybe more people would have been prepared with flashlights. I have been sorting through everything the last two days and found a notebook crammed full of receipts for the years 2000 and 2001 alone that totaled over $4000.00 :!: :!: :!: . This lady was a serious quilter.

You hit the mother lode!! What a haul. Just the first group of things, all the rulers and mats are just what I would love. Great find.

Boy did you score big time. I sure hope my kids don't do that when I'm gone.
