I had to go out of town (Harrisburg, PA) to a seminar yesterday and today, so DH took off and went with me. He was on a mission to get some bobbins and a part for the old Elna 7000 he got for free. My DD used it to hem a chiffon dress for our youngest DD's BFF and fell in love with it, so he figures it will be getting a lot of use. Anyhow, he said he would be on his "mission" while I was in my seminar. Well, he did get bobbins and ordered the part, but look what else he brought home for me!!!
At a store called the Re-uz It store, he found a shoebox full of hundreds of 4 inch squares, a bag of hundreds of 3.5 inch squares and another of at least an equal amount of 2.5 inch squares. At the Salvation Army Thrift store he found a 3 yard piece of the prettiest rose colored fabric. Then at Tuesday Morning's he found packs of new fat quarters 12 for $7.99 (2 of each kind/color) and got me 2 of solids and 1 of prints, a pack of template plastic for 99 cents, a pack of assorted quilting marking chalk pencils/pens - 1 pen was air fade and other water disappearing (all for $4.99), and a brand new quilt book called "Lot's of Scraps - It's Time to Quilt" which is perfect since I now have oodles or fabric squares,(also $4.99) . I am soooooo excited! I have been wanting to make a scrap quilt, so when I finish with the Lovers Knot I am making for my DD's BFF's wedding, I am going to start working on that...may find it hard to not over plan it, but am hoping to use one of Bonnie Hunters from Quiltville website. Isn't my DH an enabler extraordinaire AND keeper? Thanks for looking, just had to share my excitement. Oh, anyone have any recommendations on how to sort the squares? Light/dark, colors???? Just some of my haul, more squares still in shoebox [ATTACH=CONFIG]238709[/ATTACH] |

that is a wonderful haul for sure! He did good and deserves his own quilt maybe?
|
Keep him
|
WOW!!! He's wonderful!!! What a great Haul!
|
What a fabulous husband you have. You will have fun playing with all the fabric. I usually sort by color and then do the light to dark order. Love to handle it as much as possible.
|
That is really impressive. I am normally in my right mind...but this 1 day .....I don't know what happened to me. A friend was having a garage sale. she called me to say her Daddy, who was a fabric salesman, had put some boxes in to sell.I jumped in my car, arrived on the scene. Only 1 other lady was there.....and she was digging in "my" boxes. I have never been like that. I learned how to share in 1 st grade. As soon as she moved away, I said to Dad, "how much do you want for all of it?" He said "what will you give me?"
|
It shows how much he loves you , how sweet . He did a great job in picking out colors to :-D
|
What a guy! Yep....he's a keeper!
|
The end of the story........I said $30.00. He said $25.00 and I will help you put it in your car. I came home , drug all 6 huge boxes in the house and began to see exactly what prizes I had come home with. OMG.I don't even know what to say, it was everything. I shared fabric for a long time. Sorry it was 2 threads long.
|
He did good. He has a good eye for things that we enjoy. Yep! He's a keeper.
|
He is a keeper! Mine brings me chocolate - I'll keep him!
|
What an amazing husband. Nice haul.
|

:) Yes, your hubster IS a keeper! ;) |
