I bet she did the happy dance when she got them. Love your contacts. I wish I had them.

That’s a lot of muslin...but I’m curious as to what she uses it for? I have only used light weight muslin once in my quilting career and that was for string blocks.

I would love to have just one of those rolls. Wherever did you get those? I wanna be your friend too. LOL

I hand dye mine and use in quilts or recently I've begun using them as backgrounds for embroidery pieces.
I would be overjoyed to receive that! :)

Sounds like she is a super committed quilter. When she has a project finished, please share some photos with us.:p

I use it for backing on vintage quilt tops. Goes with the time period, also it is difficult to “match” the color of the top if you are trying to use today’s fabric.

Dye it whatever color you want.
