How wonderful for you; the lovely lady smiling down at you
from heaven would be so pleased!

That is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Wow! That is great!

Izy, I am absolutely thrilled for you - - and for us because we will be treated with more of your eye candy, hopefully soon!

Izy, How wonderful. If you had been able to bring your stash from Spain, you wouldn't have met those wonderful people. There is a reason for everything.

My mom was a quilter, but has lost her sight. We are going to have an open house for our church quilt group to "shop" through her stuff. She want her things to go to someone who will appreciate them and put them to good use. We plan on serving tea/coffee and cookies and let our friends have a field day!

I am so sorry to here that your Mom has lost her sight, that must be one of the worst things to bear, especially if you are a quilter. I am sure the church quilt group ladies will have a field day and as you say at least your Mum will know that the fabric will be put to good use and be appreciated!

Have a lovely day with all your quilting friends, mines tea with a little sugar please, oh blow the diet I will have a 'French Fancy' too

;) :lol: :thumbup:

Celeste, sharing my hobby with all my quilting buddies here is the FIRST thing I do, after all, you have all been my inspiration since I joined over three years ago now...where does time go

:-)

I'm having sensory overload looking at your treasures.
Marti Michelle's templates are expensive. Of course anything costing more than ten dollars is expensive to me! There are three sets of her templates in my stash and I would love to have some more, especially the hexagon ones.

Awww Izzy!!! I am so happy for you :D:D:D
What a beautiful surprise, these fabrics are all so pretty :D:D:D

I was so pleased when I saw the type of fabrics, I think out of all of them there was only a couple that I truly thought I don't think I can use that, but as they say, even ugly fabric can be used in a project if it is cut up small enough LOL!

There are lots of fabric with hints of gold through them, quite a few Kona Bay Asian fabrics, I will have to think of something special for those, maybe a nice wall hanging... oh my mind is whirring away thinking what I can now make!!

Thanks everyone for your enthusiastic responses!!

I have many times sat here :hunf: so it's nice to hear y'all ooohhing and aaahhhing over my treasures :thumbup:

Wow are you the lucky one. :-P

So happy for you. Great find. ENJOY.;0

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: And I love the purples!!
Congrats!

Congratulations Izy, your outlook must seem so much better! I haven't seen any of your posts lately, but I remember some of your work was just beautiful. You have a flair for combining just the right colours/prints. I don't know what changed your living situation, but you sure lucked into a nice new acquaintanceship!

I'm so happy for you, Izy. Instant stash.

Oh Izy - How wonderful. Now do her dearly departed Mum justice and sew, sew, sew... Congratulations!

WOW, this is awesome story. The fabric angels were really looking after you! So happy you two found each other. Sounds as if you have new friends as well...even better find!

Gasp !! It's like you went on a shopping frenzy with all those lovely fabric/tools, etc!! Glad you could get them...

Wow! What a wonderful story!

Only one word for this---WOW!

That is so wonderful for you! It sounds like a match made from heaven...
