My DH loves to look at craigslist. (for those that don't know it's a website people can sell things locally online for free) Well he saw a listing for a box of fabric for $35 so he sent off an email to see if it was still available. It WAS and his niece picked it up and brought it to me this weekend. The box was HUGE...probably about 3 x 3. And it was stocked full of fabric. I went through piece by piece. And I was so excited to find alot of Batiks (my favorite!). I have a whole bolt of white on white and like 8 others with more than 10 yards of fabric. Most all of the fabric in the box were more than 1 yard. I just couldn't be more excited and had to share with all of you!

That's so cool. What a great buy! Glad you were able to get it. Do you have any plans in particular for any of it? I see a couple that I recognize from my stash!

Jackpot! Lucky you! I'm so happy that fabric "found" you! It needed a good home!

One of the fabrics has hummingbirds all over it and my mother loves hummingbirds so I am thinking of making her something really special for Mothers day with that one. Just have to pick a pattern for it!

Now ... Wait a minute ... Your hubby found this for you? I want a hubby like that! LoL!

What a great find! It looks as though someone really had a good eye for nice fabric there. Lucky you!

Bevanger 03-31-2009 08:50 AM

so way cool. My hubby goes on there everyday, but he looks at only stuff that interest him. Gosh I should start checking for myself. You have alot of gorgeous fabs. I can't wait to see what all you do with them

ScrapQuilter 03-31-2009 11:27 AM

Jackpot - lucky you........... better give hubby a big hug for that one.

looking forward to see what you make with your great find.


kimmers 03-31-2009 12:06 PM

Thanks all! I have so many ideas in my head for it I feel like I am spinning. I will definitely post pictures once I get started. Hubby is so funny because he will tell me I have way to much fabric and then he goes and looks for me...I think he likes the fact my hobby keeps me out of his hair!!! haha.

Shemjo 04-05-2009 08:32 AM

You are going to have so much fun with all that fabric! :lol:

JoanneS 04-05-2009 12:18 PM

Great haul of fabric! I'm going to start lurking on Craig's List!
