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........

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.
