well this past weekend I went to my moms. she has a friend that is also a quilter. her friend has not quilted in about 4 yrs maybe longer and wanted to get rid of all her stuff :shock: she told my mom to come and get it all. my mom thought she was joking.... well they finally had a get together and again she said come and get it. she said I am giving it to Star, and you, mostly me :mrgreen: . so i went there and could not believe what she was giving away. ALL but 3 totes from her stash is now here at my house, well my mom kept 2 totes at her place but still. I am sure she has givin me a few thousand in material, books, etc. I even have a quilt frame and a mini iron I am in the process of sorting through it and trying to fold and pack in a way that I can see and access it all easier. there are several fabrics that have atleast 8 yds!! so now I have backing!! she paid$$$ per yd for a lot of these. I was so guilty after picking it up becauase I felt like I robbed her. she told me that I saved her life :oops: she also said that if I buy any material in the next year that I deserve to die :evil: I am going on a shop hop with DH this weekend :twisted: but DH said that it is exempt and after that I can't buy for atleast six months ;-) I can handle that!! now where do I start........
bags of scraps [ATTACH=CONFIG]3936[/ATTACH] totes still on porch [ATTACH=CONFIG]3937[/ATTACH] more scraps and started blocks, not the dog food [ATTACH=CONFIG]3968[/ATTACH] more in my sewing room, look at all the FQ's [ATTACH=CONFIG]4009[/ATTACH] |
What a generous gift!
Enjoy! |
OH MY!!!! Jackpot!!!! That looks like what my aunt gave me a couple of years ago!
|
wow - you hit the jackpot! If you find you have too much, I just started quilting and am trying to build my stash. ;) Just kidding! That's amazing tho. Have fun with it all!
|
Lucky you, I wouldn't know where to start. Wouldn't it be cool to make her something special!
|
There is so much!! I am just doing a quick sort right now. I even got patterns and books. I would make her something but she doesn't want anything. she doesn't even want to see what I make from it. she just wanted it all gone.
I was sad for her but happy for me. |
Your Karma must be good. I'm happy for you, now go and SEW!
Well, maybe sort first! :D :D :D :D |
Looks like you hit the mother load. Have fun.
|
OMG!!! You hit the jackpot there!!! Have fun sorting and "feeling" all the material. If you need to get rid of any let me know and I'll send you my address!!! Lucky girl!
|
That's AWESOME!!! Great friend :lol:
Enjoy it! |
You are one lucky person! I completely agree, you must have great Karma!!! Even if she doesn't want to see what you make - WE DO!!!!!
|
sounds like you have an angel and you hit the jackpot
|
WOW, get sewing girl you have alot of projects in your future
|
What, are you KIDDING??????????? That is so fantastic!! You deserve a treat like this STAR!! I'm so happy it went to you, and I'm sure the ex-quilting lady feels the same way!
Have fun my dear!! |
WOW!! Looks even better than Christmas! Good for you!!! If I were you, I'd have it all dumped out to pet it all and welcome it to its new home!!! :lol:
|
What a wonderful gift Star. I hope you send her something nice as a thank you, maybe some fresh flowers or something not sewing related. Sounds like she doesn't want anything to do with sewing any more.
What a treasure! We all can't wait to see what you're going to make with this fabric. |
This is awsome!!!. Great gift. Make her a lap quilt. I know when I get too old or sick to quilt I want to be wrapped in one 24 hours a day.
|
WOW
|
WOW -- can we come play with you???? :D :D
|
Woohoo!!!
How do I find people like this? |
Lucky you!!! Enjoy !!!
|
What a wonderful gift. You deserve it. Why would you need to buy fabric for a long time. OK, I know, I have the sickness also. But when you get the urge, just go shopping in these containers. What a Blessing!
|
I can't imagine what would make a person who has this much quilting stash just quit and give this all away...that is so said.
Star, I happy for you in receiving this, don't get me wrong. Hope you will use this and not find yourself so overwhelmed that you can't enjoy using it up |
How generous she was :mrgreen: I don't have friends like that :? LOL Enjoy and have fun :thumbup:
|
Wow!
|
cha-ching!
|
What a HAUL!!! You've been a very good girl! Have fun playing with your new treasures!!
|
I see a quilting frenzy coming on!! What a wonderful gift!! I am sure you will put it to good use!!

Yippie!! Look at all of the fabric!
|
WOW!! You are truly blessed! I know you are in heaven. Enjoy your treasures and can't wait to see all you are going to make from them. :) I'm going to pray for a fabric angel :idea:
|
Wow, lady, you need to go to Las Vegas!!! That was a very generous gift, and you were the lucky one!! Have fun!!
|
Wonderful! Her payment is knowing that someone will be using it & it's not gathering dust. Maybe set aside some for Project Linus quilts or some other charity. She might like that.
