Anyway... Over the last few months AND with some help from a couple of wonderful fabric angels on here, I have been gradually building a new stash, from re-cycled clothing from charity shops and car boots etc. SO I progressed to ebay, and was managing to find bits of fabrics for reasonable prices (Only one shop near me, not much stock and PRICEY!)... Well a couple of days ago, I spots some lovely fabrics being listed at good prices and managed to win a few pieces, on contacting the seller she said she would reduce the P & P accordingly. Next thing I get another email back, saying she couldn't figure out what to do!! No problem I said, if you have more fabric, just send me more! (Are ya'll still with me...LOL) Next email says, she has lots of fabric to sell as her dear Mum had passed away and they kept finding fabric stashed all over the place ...yep we all know about that tee hee!! Well we hit it off and before know it I am sitting her Dad's lovely apartment drinking tea with them like we had known each other forever..! Well below is what I came home with: Approximately 90 yards of fabric! Lots of notions, including 4 cutting mats, rotary cutter and new blade, Marti Mitchell Interlocking Hex template, plus her Set G hexagon template set and book, LOTs of square templates, flexi rulers oh the list goes on!! I am sure that her dear Mum looking down from heaven, will be so pleased her beloved fabrics and notions have come to an avid quilter :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Izy, It looks like you are about ready to start at least a couple of projects now. Happy Quilting Again :D |
I am so happy for you and very glad you are getting your stash built back up. Have fun.
|
What a wonderful blessing for you.
|
Good for you girl. I am so happy for you. Now, start making some quilts. :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
Wonderful wonderful.. you must be living right!! plus being very good, and having the stars aligned, and the moon in the right phase.. and the tide out.. something special.. Have a grand time with all your new pretties!
|
Congrats, Izy! Such lovely fabric! Enjoy.
|
You lucky girl. See there is a reason you had to leave all your stash in Spain, it gave you room for all this!!!!
|
Wonderful find , I'm so happy for you :D
|
How great for the both of you.
|
Maybe now you won't miss the other fabrics so much. Congratulations!!!
|
Awesome Izy!!! That stash couldn't have found a better home than the one with you. :D
|
My daughter has stict orders that when I die I want my fabric to go to a group that sews quilts for children in hospitals or shelters. Non of my family do quilting.
Your fabrics are gorgeous. The colors are wonderful. |
How absolutely excellent - and it couldn't have found a better home. Her Mum would be thrilled to bits that all her lovely things were going to be loved and used. Go Izy!
|
Wow, all that and a new friend to boot.
|
Good for you Izy - a win/win situation for all involved. I'm sure her mum would be delighted that her stash will be put to good use.
|
Wow! You got some beautiful fabrics!! Now you can have some fun!
|
That's awesome! You should make something for her with some of her mom's fabric as an extra little "thank you"
|
You will just LOVE the Marti Mitchel book! I had a class and lecture from her last March at the Mountain Quiltfest in Pigeon Forge, TN. She is just so funny and a joy to be near. Congratulations on the find! I find that when I am with quilters, they feel like family real soon! Hope you are able to stay in touch with the dear lady and show her some quilts made with her moms fabrics. I know that it will mean so much to her. Again, congratulations!
|
The Marti Michel templates in the US run between oh about $12.95 to $20.00 per package...depending on how many thempates are in there...I also saw Paula Nadelstern fabric..You got a great buy!
|
OMG!!! Enjoy!
|
what a nice story
|
oh I'm so so happy for you!! What a great thing, you got a great stash now!
|
