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.

[quote=ccearley]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.
What a good Samaritan that lady is and what a windfall for you, your sister and the children. Congratulations. |
that is great and very generous!! LOOKS like you'll be busy for a while!
|
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
