Awesome!

Oh, lucky you! Its so pretty! The book even has great pictures!

You were the right person at the right place at the right time. What fun you will have.

oh what a great find.

Wow!!!! Any plans for any of the material?

Well, I know I will use the border prints to make some cute aprons. I also love the blue and orangey-gold paisley in the second picture.... and I am still thinking on that one, maybe an Irish chain????
I would appreciate any ideas from all of you. The pinks will be included in a pink and brown quilt that I have been collecting scraps for.... I will keep my eyes open for a moment of inspiration, now that I have these on my mind!

I knew I'd had some of my fabric a long time, and I could recognize some of your patterns. I really need to get rid of a lot of my stash since it is obvious I"ll never live long enough to use all this.

Wow, Peggy, you were very blessed to have been invited to come look. Can't wait to see what you will make with some of those fabrics.

Does it make me 'vintage' if I can remember when fabric came in 34-35" widths. :-D

Vintage Fabrics need vintage machines putting them together!!

My Mom just said, ohhh, I had a dress made out of that red fabric!!!

Fantastic haul! Love the fabrics.

I also love vintage fabric! I am seriously green with envy! :mrgreen:

those are great what a find! I love the raggedy ann & andy fabric very cute.

Congradulations! You have some beautiful vintage fabric.

I agree with her!! :thumbup: The fabric's are wonderful. I will be looking for you to post a project, using some of them, when you get to it!! Lucky Girl!!
:D :D :D :D

Fabulous score!!! I, too, love vintage stuff!! I am thrilled for you!!

All I can say is Whoa!! what a find!

You definitely were blessed the day they called about these treasures. I really like the border prints and the raggedy anne and andy best, I think as a fabriholic I'd have a hard time picking just one. Enjoy and show us your finished products.

NICE!

Billy.... I am working on lead for just that.... will keep you posted... may need your advice! Keep a good thought for me.
Peggy

Wow! What a haul! Such fabulous fabrics and border prints as well! And a great book! You did very well and were blessed, that's for sure!
Blessings,

PS Love your sayings....

Will do love!!!

Billy

Woohoo! Very nice of the lady to call you.

Well looks like there'll be a vintage machine stitching all those gorgeous vintage fabrics....Thanks for sharing the joy!

Do you find the vintage fabric holds up well? Can you wash it and then use it as you would new fabric? Or is it more for "collecting" or wall type hangings, etc.?

I usually only buy the fabric that has a meaty hand to it... I leave the thin or flimsy stuff for somebody else. Everything that I got this trip felt really nice, and seem to be very sturdy. I dont think I would have any trouble using it in a quilt today.

wow you really hit it big such beauitful fabrics can,t wait to see what you make from these treasure,s

I love the vintage fabrics and have quite a collection including a large stack of feedsacks. I think I recognize a few pieces you have. Your bird book would make nice applique designs. I had my husband enlarge a picture one time by using a graph chart. I then traced the pieces of the enlarged picture to make applique templates. Turned out very nice.

Wow, that is a cool idea..... never thought of that.

Congratulations, they are all beautiful. my favorite color is purple, so my eyes zeroed in on the first picture. God bless.

They're lovely - now you've got a lovely problem - umm what pattern shall I use?
