Here are a few pics of the fabric that I got at an auction this last Sunday. I picked up 6 big boxes of fabric. I have been having a blast going thru it. Some of it is yardage and some is just small pieces. It all needs to be washed yet. I probably got over 100 pounds of fabric.

Oh you bum! :wink: Lucky, lucky girl! What fun going through it! I can't wait to see what you do with it! Does it feel like your birthday or Christmas at your house?

tlrnhi 04-01-2008 01:51 PM

WOW!!
YOU DID GOOD!
Now, I'm on my way over, so you just leave the door unlocked and go do some shopping or something. I'll let myself in and I'll be fine. If you have a pooch or kitty, I'll give them treats and love on them so they don't feel neglected.

you lucky girl!!! I recognize some of them! LOL Some of them are in my stash...

amma 04-01-2008 01:57 PM

What a treasure trove! You really did score bigtime! I am even greener with envy now :mrgreen: :lol: :mrgreen: :lol: :mrgreen:

tlrnhi 04-01-2008 02:12 PM

AHHH...Just noticed in your avatar you DO have pooch and kitty.
Now, I have to go buy those treats!
Don't you worry, I'll take good care of them while you are out. I'm sure they will "guard" your fabric stash. hehehe
Here kitty, kitty, kitty!
Come here puppy! Auntie has a treat for you, you cute little thing! :)

ccbear66 04-01-2008 02:26 PM

Yes, I have a dog and a cat and they both love treats. The puppy will probably just lick you to death. The cat is laying in a box of the fabric now, so you will probably have to lift her fat ass out of the box to get to it. I have plenty so if you want to come over I'll share.

What a lucky lucky girl! I am so envious! I've been able to do that just 1 time...and I had to pay way more than you...have a ball with it!

Patty44 04-04-2008 02:51 PM

Great box of goodies!Hey,I have an idea,since we live so close,how about taking your neighbor if you find another one.

Patty44 04-04-2008 02:55 PM

I haave a cat that could be twin to yours,but he stays in the barn,name is Fonzie.

Jaynie 04-04-2008 05:06 PM

Oh Lucky YOU!!!!I lucked onto to some vintage quilt squares buried among some scraps I bought at a flee market one time. I was like a kid at Christmas when I realized what I had. Flee markets, garage sales and auctions...oh my!!!! wooohooo!! Can't wait to see some of your creations with your new stash.

ccbear66 04-04-2008 05:42 PM

I can do that Patty44. :wink: It will probably be a long time before I run across another deal like this one.

wraez 04-08-2008 01:09 PM

I see lots of florals in that newly acquired stash!

I'm in the middle of making bunches of floral 9 blocks, my guild did a swap with them, I got enamored and decided to keep making bunches so that I could make some quilts for my granddaughters and a friend or 2 of mine.

You can view a photo at the below link, I don't know how to put photos in messages here.

You were so fortunate to get those boxes of fabrics! Hope that you have plans for all that 'stash', :lol:


ccbear66 04-08-2008 01:12 PM

That is a really pretty quilt. I love all the florals. I have started a scrap quilt that takes 200 different fabrics and I now have over that. I'm about 3/4 of the way done with it. I'll post a pic when I get it finished.

wraez 04-08-2008 01:17 PM

HEY HEY, found I could load the photo as my Avatar. how neat is that?

I surprise myself everyday when I discover something I didn't know b4!
