I always get a little jealous when I see people post photos of great fabric finds at garage sales. Well, My oldest son told me he could not mail me my Mother's Day gift this year. He came to spend the night this week and lugged what appeared to be a very heavy Rubbermaid tub. When we popped open the top....lucky me!!! He was at an auction emptying the contents of a store...not a LQS, more like a general store. He bid on one bundle for $X and the auctioneer said, how many do you want at that price? My son said, all of them!!!

Wow that was so thoughtful of your son. And look at all that fabric you got. You will be having lots of fun quilting now...heck you will have lots of fun just going through it all. Did you tell your son he can bring you fabric any time he wants to? LOL. Have loads of fun.:)

Kathy, my DS Scott spent the night with us Wed to catch an early am flight to Ft Worth. In the morning they got to the airport, flight cancelled; put on a noon flight to Chattanooga, TN and a 5 pm flight to Ft Worth. He should have been at Billy Bob's last night to see Lady Antebellum!! Wave to him when he leaves Monday! He is one of the best sons on the planet! Here is is winning a chili cookoff. Notice how he decorated his chili display!!
