congratulations on your wonderful accusition...

Boxer mom 01-25-2011 05:00 PM

Cha-ching! You scored big time, have fun and can I suggest that you make her a small wall hanging from her mom's fabric so she can look at it and it will remind her of the both of you. I think it will make her smile every time.

Fayelh 01-25-2011 05:04 PM

How wonderful.

Harmony 01-25-2011 05:29 PM

Just like your benefactor, I hope my quilting stuff gets to a home where it will be appreciated. You must have put some good Karma out there in the Universe. Keep it going forward.

You see good things do happen to good people. And you made a new friend too. So glad that you are managing to rebuild your stash - can't wait to see what you have made from some of your find. Good luck!

I had the very same thought, the daughter lives over in Italy, so I thought about doing a Mediterrean themed mini for them

WOW what a find. I have 2 templates of Marti Michels - one for the I Spy & the other for the Sedona Star & they were around $25. in Canada.

YEAHHHH!! And you are right - the old quilter is up there smiling down, happy that it got a good home and didn't just get thrown away!

Great job!!!

It must be wonderful to run into such a great catch. I am so happy for you. The fabrics are beautiful. Have fun.

kwendt 01-26-2011 06:04 AM

Great! When I 'buy the farm' I want to have my stuff goto an avid quilter just like you... there's NOBODY in my family or extended family that quilts!

Okay... so anybody in South florida? I'll put ya in my will... !!!

mimee4 01-26-2011 06:42 AM

What a wonderful gift you received. They know you will love and use the stash as their loved one did. I'm delighted that you got all those treasures.

Linda Loo 01-26-2011 06:42 AM

Beautiful things, beautiful story! How lucky you are to find this AND a friend :-)

lakelily 01-26-2011 07:09 AM

I think you should make them a quilt from all that fabric, it would be a very nice thing to do.

TexasGurl 01-26-2011 07:20 AM

Have FUN with your all new goodies !! :)

mhansen6 01-26-2011 07:21 AM

I bet this lady would love a small quilt, wall hanging or a table runner from her mother's stash. It would be a great Thank You. You were very lucky to find such a stash. Happy Quilting.

Annaquilts 01-26-2011 07:23 AM

Wow and it sounds like it all found a good home since you did not have much. Enjoy!!!!

pocoellie 01-26-2011 07:32 AM

What a great deal for you and maybe a new friend also.

Marvel 01-26-2011 07:35 AM

We in the quilt world can understand how you feel. Looks like you have been blessed. See your move was worth it. Quilters are very warm and shareing people. Marvel
