It turns out she gave me a quilting frame that her dearly departed had made for her. Plus a lot of her stash. The rest she donated to her guild. The reason was that she and her DH had quilted together. He cut, she pieced. He quilted on the frame along side of her. He and she were both retired and until he retired he had never so much as looked at her stuff or her quilts. But retirement made a different man of him. When he died she suffered so much grief that she could no longer quilt. It was so sad, but she seemed much happier with it all out of her house. Now she's involved with the Little Theater and League of Women Voters. She too has become a whole different person. |
Ohhh gal! How wonderful she did that as I know you will have a great time. I can't wait to see your new creatiions.
|
WOW!! It's like Christmas.... So lucky, enjoy, enjoy!!! Have a blast sorting..
|
What a jackpot! It'll take you weeks just to organize and get to know what you have - a job we'd all love to have. Have fun, and post more pictures when it's organized, so WE'LL know, too!
|
I am blown away. You are officially now, your own fabric store. I am so jealous!!!
|
I see some things I would love to have - Michigan is close to PA is it not? Congratulations! I'm looking forward to seeing some things you make from this awesome gift!
|
Wow! She's very generous that's for sure! You need to quilt a small quilt as a special 'thank you' to her. Maybe a nice table topper, runner, or wall hanging.
Kind Regards, MaryAnna |
Wow. You must be quilter's heaven
|

|
Wow! I think I might be overwhelmed with all of that. Good for you.

Wow Star, your mind must be reeling with ideas, and thoughts of all of the possibilities, I hope you get to live an extra long time, so that you will be able to get to all of that fabric. It sure will be nice to not have to go out and buy stuff every time you start a new project. I was gifted a few large black gabage bags full of fabric a few years ago, and I just couldn't believe my good fortune. I sorted it and sorted it, and I have finally fit it all in my sewing room, I had to go out and buy shelves, but now I can see what I have, and I go looking through it for the perfect piece of fabric all of the time. Once you figure out what you have, you will love all of the varity. BTW, I still need to buy fabric on a regular basis. But not as much as I did before.
|
I am sure I will still buy even if it is just for SQA because I just love all the pretty fabrics!
|
that happened to me a few yrs ago when i went to an estate sale. I came home with bags and bags and boxes of "stuff" material, sissors, dolls, lace, zippers, ribbons, quilting frame and on and on. I thought it was christmas all over again and never woould have to shop again -ever. But with all of that and to find a place to put it - there is always something I need that I don't have. and got all of this for less than 25 dollars = it was 3 carloads packed. lucky you, I know the wonderful feeling.
|
WOW Irish Jan you really hit the jackpot there!
|
wow, you got a jackpot there.
