What a kind and generous gift :D:D:D
|
Quilts for Kids will be so happy to hear this. Now the problem is to sew up the quilts. LOL. I have only one done and just got the "rest" of the fabric for the next one. I better get busy, too.
|
how nice and lots of lucky kids
|
How nice that she donated it. Have with all your projects.
|
All that fabric will make some very nice quilts for charity!! It'll keep you busy for a LONG time!

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.
A lot of kids will be very happy from the results of your DS find...Happy quilting ladies... :-D :-D :-D :-D |
Wow, fantastic donation!

Beautiful fabrics.
|
Isn't it heartwarming to know there are so many wonderful people with big hearts so ready to help! Sometimes, folks just don't know how or where it is needed.
Your collection is beautiful. Do post some of the beauties as you complete them! |
That's great & the folks at Q 4 Ks will be happy to get lots of quilts. Bless you.
|
THat is awesome! Can't wait to start seeing your quilts:)
|
wow
|
Wow, some people are so generous. Glad for these to be used for good reason
|
That will keep both of you busy for a while.
|
That is nice!
|
Wow! How great is that! Very nice of her to donate it to you so you can make Quilts for kids. Sure helps you out with the cost of donation quilts.
|
what a great find, you two have your work cut out now!
|
super, that is alot of fabric
|
How cool is that very generous of her!

Had this happen to me recently as well. Stopped at a Yard Sale. The lady asked if I was looking for anything specific. I answered yes, we are making pillowcase dress for little girls in Haiti & I am looking for fabric & notions/trims for this project. She gave me two large plastic tubs full of fabric & notions & said there was more where that came from. Her mother was cleaning out her sewing room. This was only the beginning & they would call & let me know when the project was completed & I could come pick up the "rest". Thanking the Lord for them & that stop that morning. It took me a week or more to wash, dry, iron, fold & organize all of that fabric. There will be LOTS of darling dresses for those little girls in the coming weeks & months. And, probably several donated children's quilts as well. So much fun!! What a special blessing & huge praise for God's provision.

That will keep alot of kiddos warm and happy. Good for that nice lady and ya'll for making them.
|
How wonderful to get such a huge supply of fabric. I have been working on two quilts for kids and almost done. Have fun making them.
|
That's great really. If there is any quilting material that you think is not suitable for kids' quilts please consider donating to this non profit organization (www.breastcancerdiy.com). I have been helping this organization make mastechtomy pillows for local breast cancer patients for a year now.
Thanks Faten |
Such a nice gesture from the previous owner. Have fun.

What a good Samaritan that lady is and what a windfall for you, your sister and the children. Congratulations. |

|
My church is making clothing for the children in Haiti, as well as for the children in our church in Xai Xai, Africa!
|
WOW how generous was that?...she certainly was blessed to have that much to get rid of and you to have recieved it

Bless her warm heart!
I wish I could find "deals" half as good as what is found by others on this board. |
What a wondeful woman to do this for you!
|
That should keep you girls busy for quite some time!
|
Yea! How did you rig the hangers? Looks really neat, both meanings of neat.
|
Wonderful find - I love craigslist!!
|
Oh wow you sure will be busy and should not have to spend another cent on fabric. Right?
